THE FINAL TRANSFER!

Transfers are usually bitter-sweet.  But Pazookies are just insanely sweet!

I hope that you're all singing the song, "The Final Countdown" in your head right now. I know I am. That was the goal at least. 

WELP This email will be pretty short due to a crazy pday! But I know some of you are waiting patiently to know where I'll be serving for the final transfer of my mission.....as of Thursday I will be leaving the beloved town of Gainesville and I'll be moving to Nocatee Florida! Nobody knows where Nocatee is and I'm sure y'all don't either. 😅 you can look it up on a map or just know that it's about 30 minutes from the coast, south of Jacksonville. So I'm pretty excited! Honestly not a much better way to end my mission :) I've loved Gainesville but I'm excited to have a new place and new experiences before I go home. 

Morning park run in 30 degree weather.  We're not used to that out here.

Fun dinner with recent convert.

I feel like the going home process has already begun because I'm saying goodbye to this place I've called home for such a long time! I've grown to love Gainesville SO much! The YSA have become some of my best friends, we've had so many amazing experiences teaching them and they're friends, going to activities, serving the community, and building the kingdom of God! It's so cool how you are meant to help those you meet on your mission, but they are also meant to help you and answer your questions. I was definitely supposed to come to Gainesville at this time and meet these people. I know that Heavenly Father has a plan for all of us. Whether we are on a mission or not! He leads and guides us to be in the lives of people who influence us for the better and who we can make a positive impact on as well. 

Tradeoffs with Sis Anderson....ah love her

I'm so grateful for how the people of Gainesville have impacted me and I'm grateful for the missionary work that I had the opportunity to be apart of! I know that Ally and Gary are in good hands. This week we felt prompted to set a baptismal date for Gary for February 23rd! He's very excited, but he still has some life changes to make so keep him in your prayers. 

I love you all and I'm grateful for the positive impact y'all have had on me throughout my life. 😇😇 Gainesville will forever have a place in my heart but I'm excited to meet and help the people in Nocatee! 

Have an amazing week, and read this scripture when you get the chance:

D&C 84: 45-47
