a couple of updates. I hit my 9 months on my mission on leap day.
Im being transferred to Cedar City, Utah. My new area is Southern Utah University.I will be training a brand new missionary. ..and my stomach hurts with all the changes!
I didn't really expect to many changes, and all of a sudden everything has changed! It's terrifying. I'm gonna miss my area, my people, the visitor center. But I also know that this is good for me, and that as scary as this feels right now, it will all be for my benefit.
There's something that's been on my mind a lot recently, and that the Lord is not as concerned with my comfort as he is with my growth. As much as id like for everything to be easy and exactly in my comfort zone, I know it can't always be. I know that a lot of my growth comes from those times where i have to stretch and become a little stronger, a little more resilient.
How grateful I am that I have such wonderful people to say goodbye to, to miss. Earlier this week I found myself reflecting on how the people I have met here, the people I have served & have served with are just incredible little ways that has shown that my Heavenly Father loves me. He must love me for giving me such a beautiful place to serve, and to be around. He is aware of me -- and through him, I can do this. I can do anything as I rely on him.
I don't know who my new companion will be, but I am excited to meet her. I hope i can be the companion she needs and someone that can help her. Im sure you all will hear about her very very soon.
My pdays are on Mondays again, so i'll talk to you all next Monday! I love you all very very much. I hope that you can look at your life and see God crafting you, because I know he is crafting me. I miss you & I love you!
With my heart, Sister Williams
