Week 28, February 15, 2015

Hello Everyone!
 
Happy Valentine's Day!!! I hope your day was full of loved ones and
happy moments. I take joy in this holiday because I always know that
there is someone who loves me; Heavenly Father. We are His children
and He loves us tremendously which He shows in many ways. The major
one for me is that He provided a Savior for us. He sent His Son, Jesus
Christ, to live here on the earth so that Christ could go through the
Atonement for all of us. I know that Christ actually lived and that He
lived a perfect life. When He was here He established His church with
proper authority called the priesthood. He was baptized by this
priesthood even though He was (and) is perfect.
He is our greatest friend because He understands us perfectly and He
loves us perfectly. I know that we can always turn to Him and to
Heavenly Father. When we are feeling low or lonely, They are there to
show their love for us. I know that They have always listened to me
and given me what I needed in that moment and still do so. So, you are
never alone, there is always someone who loves you.
 
Okay, my major news for this week is that I was moved to a new area
despite it being halfway through a transfer. Last week, when we were
daily planning at night, we got a call from President Jaggi. He very
rarely calls us personally (we work through a chain of authority) so
we were a bit surprised. After asking how we were, he got straight to
business by saying "I received a very strong revelation today." He
proceeded to tell me that to prepare for training next transfer (March
2) I would be moving up to Ogden. I was shocked because I didn't think
1) I would train or 2) I'd be moved halfway through a transfer.
To be honest, I was really upset because I wasn't prepared to leave
right then and I knew that saying goodbye would be hard. But, as I
prayed that night and again in the morning, I felt peaceful. I knew
that I was doing what the Lord wanted for me and for others. So, I am
now serving the Buenaventura Ward up in Ogden. I am in a trio with 2
other sisters, one who was my MTC companion; they are Hna. Woodhouse
and Hna. Playstead. It has been an exciting week as we have tried to
find a schedule that fits all of our needs, as I get to learn the
people here, and the investigators. It's been a bit rough but I just
take it one day at a time.
 
Missions are so exciting! Something is always happening and we are
constantly learning. I have already seen, in these past 6 months, how
much the Lord has changed me and His plans for me for the future. I
don't know exactly how I will grow but I know that He is shaping me
into the woman He knows I can be. I want to be a strong disciple of
Christ and I want to be someone the Lord can count on.
Thank you for being on this journey with me! I hope that you enjoy the
stories I share as much as I do!
 
I love you all! Have a great week and remember who you are!
 
Love,
Hermana Lindh
