Rough Day

Hey family!

So I'm sure that bad news always spreads fast. I was told maybe an hour ago that my companion decided on Sunday to go home. She flies out tomorrow morning at 11am. President told me that he has a companionship nearby that I will be in a trio in. And that I will be close enough that I will still be able to work in my area. Of course I have no idea where that will be, and will find out more tonight. As of now, my address is the same, but if it changes, I will have the mission office call and let y'all update everything for me. 

I'm struggling with it, but i don't really know what to say or what to add to that that I haven't already told my mom and dad.

Despite everything, no one can deny that we have had lots of miracles this last week. It is amazing how god works

To begin with, Memis brother/Pasy's son passed away Monday night. It has been so hard to watch them. and what they are going through, but it has also been amazing to see how the ward has jumped into help with arrangements and food and just visiting. I love them sooo much and my heart goes out to them. Its amazing to see how they are changing and becoming better people. I love them so much. They invited us to a lunch on Saturday in his honor, but I had been praying about it and felt strongly that I needed to keep our planed exchange. When I told them sis. Murphy would be there but i wouldn't be, they both about cried and i almost cried. it was hard to leave them. They were both at church and I hope they found more comfort there.

Another miracle was that I went on my last exchange with Sister Tompkins!!!!!!!!!!! How fun was that! bad part was i had to eat 2 dinners because one of the teaching appointments was at Village Inn. First time teaching the restoration. at a restaurant. :) It was really good. And I just woke up in the morning with a feeling of complete peace. I am soooo proud of her. She really is an amazing missionary. And it was fun to see how she has fully grasped things that i taught her. Most important was that there is joy in the work. When you have a bad day, go find joy in the work cause that is what will make you truly happy. Its also amazing to have a best friend to talk to. All mission, besides my comps, Heavenly Father takes my best friends away, but now he has given me one. What a huge blessing!!!!! I loved being with a missionary who loves the work and is determined to improve and work hard. I cant believe I trained her!!!!

We have this family that has a goal to have the elders and sisters over on different FHE nights with less active, nonmembers, recent converts and have an fhe. Last night we had one with a recent convert we have been trying to get a hold of forever!!! And it was sooo awesome. We learned alot as he taught the first lesson. And they set up another one for next week. He is a great missionary. and was a previous bishop.

We also have a new family who moved in for Orlando. Having them here helps me see I know nothing about Orlando and just everything about Disney :) But they are so sweet. We asked them about missionary work and it turns out they had a friend just baptized, and the kids do all kinds of missionary work. we are excited to work with them. They invited us to stay for FHE and it was a lot of fun. the kids are between 2-15 and it was fun and simple. Just a great place to be and a great way to get to know the ward better.

More good news is that a less active family we have been working with just got callings on Sunday and i really believe that they will start coming back to church because of it. And then another less active and her 8yr old were at church :)

i love y'all!!!!! talk to you soon!

ps dad my milk expires on your bday. random
