Well, first things first... we got transfer calls this Saturday and... I'm staying!
Just kidding.
But Sister Golightly is staying and her new companion is a reassigned missionary who also served in the Philippines so that is SUPER exciting!
And now to the highlights of the week:
- We made three new friends this week! Two of them are some lovely ladies who live in the area that we got to contact over the phone. They had been taught by missionaries in the past so we thought we would reach out and low and behold, we are teaching them now! We even got to drop off a Book of Mormon to one of them! The other friend was a young woman from the Philippines who had reached out to some elders in our mission and it just so happens that Sister Golightly speaks Tagalog so they referred her to us!
- I got to have one final Sunday Service with our friend Wayne! It was actually really heartbreaking to say goodbye but the Sunday Service itself was lovely! He even shared a couple of his favorite scriptures! It has truly been so amazing to see how much he has progressed over these past five months! Please continue to keep Wayne in your prayers!
- Sister Golightly and I got to do some service this past week! A member called us a few weeks ago and asked if we would be willing to help her nonmember friend with some weeding in her flower garden. We, of course, said yes because service is the best! We went over Thursday morning and worked in her garden for a couple of hours. It was so much fun and the lady we were serving was SO adorable! She even asked if we could come back and help her again! So much fun!
- We had a bunch of really awesome member lessons this past week! We even got to have dinner and lunch with some of them in person too! The members of the River Park Ward are so wonderful and I have loved getting to know them and learn from them! I am so grateful for the six months I've been able to spend in this ward! Part of my heart is going to be here in River Park forever!
- So, if you'd like to hear some more lovely music (haha) go check out the Sunday Service that the Rancho Cordova Zone posted on Facebook yesterday. There may or may not be a music number that the River Park missionaries sing (elders included).
- Since today was mine and Sister Golightly's last P-day together, we decided to go on an adventure! We drove downtown and walked around Old Sacramento. We had such a good time and we got Dole Whips!
Haha okay... now for the moment you have all been waiting for...
On Tuesday (tomorrow), I'm going to be transferring to the Eastern Avenue ward in East Sacramento. They haven't had sisters in that zone for a while so that will be exciting! Also, I'm going to be shotgun training again. And I'll be a new Sister Training Leader. Haha, that's so crazy.
Well, if I had to sum up the past six months into one single sentence it would be this:
God is aware of you, no matter where or who you are.
I am so grateful for all the miracles and memories I have experienced while being in this ward! God has truly blessed me so much and I am so grateful for His hand in my life! I know that God is real and that He loves all His children! I love him so so so much!
Thank you for all of your love and support! Have an amazing week and stay safe!
Lots of Love,
Sister Ferrin
(I don't have my new address yet but I'll let you know next week what it is.)
