So I'm sorry that I haven't emailed in a while, haha so
I'm just going to give a quick update on what happened In the last little bit.
Last week we had a all mission conference for Christmas, and it was awesome to
see everybody. The conference focused a lot on the importance of keeping the
Sabbath day holy. Haha which on a mission is relatively easy, but the world is
becoming desensitized to the concept of religion in general, and Satan is going
to tempt us within our comfort zone, which means he is going to slowly persuade
us to do things that aren't always necessarily bad...but we could do something
better. The leaders of the church have been stressing this topic so strongly;
we need to be prepared to do everything we can to observe the Sabbath day.
Anyway the conference was so amazing.

Independence Visitors' Center
At the beginning of this week me and Sister Maxwell
were able to find quite a few new investigators, and on Monday night a family
from the Ward had a Christmas family home evening that they invited a few other
families in the Ward to. And every family brought something to share, weather
it was a tradition, story, gift or musical number. The spirit was so incredibly
strong, and I felt strongly that this was going to be one of my last days in
that area. And best thing of all, one of our investigators (who is always
incredibly busy) was able to come!Independence Visitors' Center
The next day the Elders waited as long as they could
before letting us know the transfer information, so we were sitting in the
Jacksons living room..waiting..,painfully waiting. Then we got the text that
said I would be transferring to the Liberty Jail with Sister Farnsworth. I knew
it was coming...but yup I cried a little anyway :) haha so we opened early
Christmas presents with the Jacksons and
I mentally prepared myself to say goodbye to all these people who have
become like family...worst.

Luckily it wasn't actually goodbye....and I'm so
excited to be serving In The Liberty Jail, I have already been able to meet
such amazing people, and the spirit is so strong here. By the second day, I was
able to give a presentation, and the spirit was able to bring all these history
facts to my memory...crazy.
Goodbyes are the worst
