Sorry for the annoying subject line of this email... But this is about how I feel right now.
I was expecting to stay a little longer in the Lost Mountain Ward, but that isn't in the plans for me! I will be heading off to my new area on Wednesday. I am a little bit sad because I grew quite attached to this ward. I am going to miss the Johnson family and the other people I have come to love. I know that my work and purpose in this area has been completed and I am a much better person for it. Hallelujah
Often while I have been on my mission I have wondered why I felt so prompted to do this when there are countless others who I know could have been ten times the missionary I am. But then I realize that Miss Emily Katherine Louise really really really needed a mission more than she even knew. I know the Lord is shaping me into the person that I need to be and I am grateful. I am pretty sure my future family is really grateful I decided to do this as well.
Do ya'll remeber the investigator that tried to "drop us" well.... She came to a baptism we had on saturday and she brought her son who then came to church the following day! They are both going to get baptized, I know it :)
It's amazing to see things come out of the wood work! I know that as I am obedient and diligent great miracles happen.
On Saturday night the Nashville Tribute Band came to our area and performed a show for everyone in the powder spring and neighboring stakes, it was an amazing missionary opportunity for members to invite their friends and neighbors. The coolest part of the whole thing was when the band had all the full time missionaries come up to the stage, they sang a song and we stood there while everyone in the audience applauded for us! The band then told everyone there to be nice to missionaries :) Ya'll should check out their CD's because they are awesome and the music is all about the restored gospel of Jesus Christ!
I am trying to think of what else to write about in this email...
Oh! I wanted to tell ya'll about all of the road kill! I have seen my fill of dead things on the side of the road... Luckily I haven't killed anything yet, I probably would be very upset if I did. Anyways that is a random weird/gross thing about Georgia.
The weather this last week has been a little cooler, which has been wonderful! I think Georgia has stranger weather than Utah sometimes. One minute it will be all sunshiney and then the next you look up in the sky and giant drops of water are about to fall on you without any notice of little rain drops first... I have almost given up having a strong aversion to umbrellas but I am still holding strong... I refuse to use them.
I am going to leave ya'll a verse of one of my favorite songs... I Believe in Christ by Bruce R. McConkie
I know that as we trust in the Lord we will be able to do all things! This I know!
I love ya'll
I believe in Christ- my Lord, my God! My feet he plants on gospel sod... He is the source of truth and light!

p.s Give the Barney family my love! I am so sorry to hear about the sudden death of Gweny but I know she is in the rest of the Lord and she will come again with a perfect body because Christ broke the bands of death, what glorious news! God be with her till we meet again.
