I was really hoping to be missing this transfer meeting for various reasons but of course Heavenly Fathers plan is much more wise and important than mine. When Hermana Capener and I got the call we were both extremely shocked. We are being whitewashed by Elders! We both burst out in tears and just hugged each other. I then realized that I wouldn't be going very far though. The ward that I serve for had two sets of Hermanas because the area was so large. One set in Murfreesboro and us in Smyrna. So now I get to move 20 min away to Murfreesboro and serve with Hermana Eastwood who I know very well:) I can't say the same for Hermana Capener though... She gets to move all the way out to Kentucky to a college town named Hopkinsville or we call it Hoptown. She is exited...:)
Oh man will I miss her! She has stretched me more than I ever knew I could go. I wanted to be able to serve together much longer, but we are both hoping that we get to become companions again... no it is not too uncommon! It will happen!... If I pray hard enough.
This week was full of unforgettable moments as well as stressful ones. First of all on Tuesday Hna Capener lost her ipad! We have been trying to search for it all week and now that we are both leaving we really don't know what to do but we are not giving up! We will be posting "missing ipad" all over town today.
On Saturday night we met a man knocking who was a Baptist preacher and he called us the devil church. That really hurt my feelings, but all is well. We invited him to conference and he declined. My purpose is to invite!
Conference was phenomenal! I specially loved Elder Lynn G. Robbins who talked about the way we face and how we should search for praises from God instead of mans. This talk really helped me in making goals to be more valiant when testifying and teaching. Others that I loved were Elder Jorg Klebingat, Elder Bednar's, Elder Holland's and of course my dear prophet's President Monson. I will definetly be re-listening to them:)
Well, here I go off to another transfer! I hope y'all have a wonderful week!
Hermana Julia Orellana
