Tomorrow is transfer day and Sister Rhodes is leaving me. I am so sad!!!!!!!! I will miss Sister Rhodes SO much! She has become my best friend over these past three months that we've been together. We've laughed together, we've cried together, we've had amazing joys, and devastating disappointments as well. I will miss all the good memories we've had, but I am moving forward into my last transfer with my head up. It hasn't been all that easy for me these last couple weeks stressing about everything going on here and things I have to worry about for when I get back, but I know that this last transfer will be great and that I will be able to finish strong! As Elder Pearson said, you sprint through the finish line, not to it.
We had a couple really cool miracles this week. First is Monica. She is a Hindu mum we tracted into a couple weeks ago and this week we were able to catch up with her with Shannen and teach her a lesson. It went really well and she seems really open to learning so far.
Our other miracle was Rebecca. She converted a few years ago and lately has had a hard time coming to church. A couple weeks ago we were able to finally meet her and this week we went by and taught her the restoration lesson again. Then yesterday she came to church! It was great and she was so happy to be back!
I know that missionary work can be so rewarding, but it can also be so exhausting and disappointing. As I've been having a harder time these past couple weeks I've noticed how 'conveniently' miracles are placed in my path right when I need them to lift me up again. Heavenly Father is aware of us and our needs. He might not always relieve us of our trials straightaway, but He will give us the strength and upliftment that we need to keep on going!
Love yous heaps!
Sister Bingham
