Transfer week is a challenge to my positive attitude

Frog count of the week: 65! There was one house with 19 and another with 12! Crazy.

So there's really not much to tell about this week. It was another extremely busy week where our numbers didn't really show evidence of that but numbers don't matter all that much to me as long as I know I am doing my best and following the promptings I receive.

Saturday we got transfer calls and Sister Sandau and I were crushed to learn we were being split. I am staying  in Olympia and Sister Sandau will be leaving for Sequim Bay in the Port Angeles area. We leave for transfer meetings in just over an hour. My president explained that reports from everyone were telling him I was ready to take over the area and train. THANKFULLY I am NOT training. I don't think I could handle the stress of that on top of taking over the area after just 6 weeks. I don't know what people were saying but I know I don't feel ready for this. BUT who God calls to the work he qualifies so I know while I'm not ready He is and that gives me some comfort. Something that was sad in stake conference last week is very applicable to my life right now. "Don't cry because its over. Smile because it Happened." - Dr. Seus. Its been a blessing and life changing experience to have Sister Sandau as my companion.

Sister Sandau and I are already planning to meet up post mission. She goes home in two transfers (hopefully I'll get to attend that transfer meeting). She is from Utah so it won't be too hard to meet up. Especially since a large majority of her family lives in Idaho Falls, ID.

Its true what people say about a mission changing your life. I've only been in WA six weeks and I have learned and grown so much. Though I've gotten terrible at writing letters. The work is hastening so my pday isn't really much of a pday. Last week didn't really get to relax or even clean. As soon as we were done emailing we went and helped a family move. After that we hurried and shopped so we wouldn't starve and then did a lot of other necessities by the time we finished those it was time to go knocking.

I love the people hear so much and am thankful I get at least another 6 weeks with them. 

Well that's really all there is to the thoughts in my head right now. I hope all is well with you and I will use another Stake Conference quote to summaries the work that I am blessed to take part in. "Its True. Its ALL true."
