Transfers!!

Hey everyone! 

It's been quite a slow week here in Leeds. I have been

sick most of the week so me and sister pro got some extra sleep. Haha

the doctor said I can't be a missionary and kill this virus at the

same time. But good news I am doing much better now and am excited to

get back out there and do some real missionary work.

We had transfer calls last night and we were all a bit nervous. But I

am staying in Leeds and sister pro is leaving me :(:( we are very sad

but know we are going to be where Heavenly Father wants us. My new

comp was already in my district so we know each other a bit. She is

from Thailand and we call her sister T. She's the best I am so excited

to serve with her! Haha also she had a dream the other night that we

would serve together. So crazy!!

Time is just going by so fast, I literally feel like I just got here

and met sister pro! But it's been 3 months and I can't believe how

much I have grown and learned!

The hightlight of my week was definitely interviews with president which was amaze! He is such an inspired man it's incredible.  He told me to tell you a couple things. 

He said to tell you thank you for

raising me so well and sending me to England to save the mission. And

dad must be a saint to put up with so many girls. He said having 2

girls and a wife was enough. And he said little benny must be the

luckiest boy in the world. And to wish you well from president. He is

the best! He asked if I did seminary

and I said yes and he said I bet you have probably learned more in the

past 3 months than you have in the 4 years of seminary. And he is

right. When you are completely immersed in the gospel you can learn so

much and grow so much closer to Heavenly Father. He only has 4 weeks

left and it's so sad! I didn't know I would have so many hard goodbyes

on my mission too! Anyway, so president has this special very posh pen

that everybody knows about and no one ever gets to use and he let me

use it!! Haha it was a miracle and all the missionaries were pretty

jealous ;)

Anyway, life as a missionary is great. The Book of Mormon is true and

such a blessing. Remember how lucky we are to have it! Never take it

for granted. I want to challenge each of you to immerse yourself more

fully in the gospel, by reaching out to someone who needs it or

studying the Book of Mormon, or whatever it is notice how much happier

you are and notice how much Heavenly Father is really in your life.

I love you all!

Love, sister Stevens
