Week 58: Nagano, Nagoya; Companion: Sister Hinckley


IM HOME!! (kinda)


Heyyy!

The saddest transfer call came... I am leaving beautiful Toyama and my perfect Beal 姉妹. We were both convinced I was staying, so hearing I was being transferred was actually the worst news ever.
The good news is my area is Nagano! My first area was Matsumoto, which is RIGHT NEXT TO NAGANO! I will probably be able to do exchanges there which I am really excited for. 

⛰️πŸ›– Monday was District Pday and we went to Shirakawago! It is a super touristy spot of a really old town surrounded by mountains. It was so pretty and so fun! We took lots of good pictures! 

🍐Me and Beal 姉妹 did some service out in a pear orchard. All we had to do was pick the flowers off the branches which was pretty satisfying. Our makeshift hats were unfortunately not as satisfying. 

⛅Saying goodbye to everyone in Toyama was so hard and so sad. This ward made us missionaries feel so loved and needed and I could not be more grateful for all of them. They all started to feel like family and I had the greatest time getting to know them all. 

πŸ˜†Friday was the longest, mixed emotions filled day of my life. After a 4 hour bus ride to Nagoya I got to see my most favorite people ever!!! Shoutout Aki, STC, MacBaby, my beguiler, and more people hehe. I had the best 2 hours ever, then I had to say goodbye AGAIN. 

πŸ‘§I got with my new companion, Sister Hinckley! We had been on exchanges before, so I am already pretty acquainted. She is so funny and I already love her so much! 

πŸ’‘I haven't been able to watch all of conference yet, but a big theme I have been noticing is that the time of the Savior's coming is getting closer and closer. Which means we need to be preparing more than ever starting now. 
I have thought a lot about the parable of the 10 virgins and how perfect it is. We cannot, rely on other people when it comes down to our spirituality, which makes preparing that much more important. We must be doing everything we can, everyday. Praying, repenting, forgiving, studying. Oh also, now is a good time because Easter is on Sunday! Eeeeek
God loves you!
I love you!
Make it a good week!
