CLOSING Wake Village

Hey Yall!

Well I dont have a lot of time today, but this has been the craziest week of my life! (as a missionary) Let me explain...

Monday- pday and then we had 3 fhe's planned and the last one was with a part member family. The youngest Kayla (12) was totally on board for being baptized and having all the discussions. It totally made our day!

 Tuesday- Day full of members! Like Woah we had 5 members go out with us that day! We went and saw tons of less actives and ate a lot of food:) Also got to see Kayla again!

Wednesday- The day of meetings. We went out with a member that morning, and then had a zone meeting and talked about new changes. Then we had our ward correlation meeting with the members to talk about those we are teaching. 

Thursday- Day full of members again! Cram packed...BUT while we were with a member we get a phone call from the mission president. (UH OH) and he is asking about maybe closing our area. WHAT! they just dont have enough sisters to keep all the areas open as most sister are going home this transfer. Kayla is doing so well in reading and knowing this is true! Also saw Tony again! So happy he's taking this trip with missionaries again and looking at the gospel with "new eyes" as he says.

Friday- Sister Frandsen was so sick! She got a 24 hour stomach bug and man I thought she was gonna die! But she was better by 11:30 that night:)

Saturday- we were so antsy for our phone call the whole day! We didnt get called till 9:45 that night and man was it rough! We really didnt want to hear the word close! BUT we get the phone call and yes, WE ARE CLOSING WAKE VILLAGE! man, thats sad to hear. All of our work and investigators, and everything is gonna be gone. BUT it's ok, we will keep in touch with them.

Sunday- Lots of goodbyes, food, testimonies, Food, phone calls, and FOOD! I think we ate 7 times that day. MAN why couldnt we do this before we were closing!lol Goodbye's are always hard, but you will see them again!

Monday- Today consist of packing, cleaning, saying bye, more cleaning,more packing, and then driving 2 hours to Shreveport to be at tpoint tommorrow at 6am. Its gonna be a great day!

Well as you can see...it's been super hectic, BUT i love it! I love all yall and hope you have the best week in the world! Remember...read the scriptures!

Miss yall!
