I Hope They Call me on a Mission: Transfer 5: Goldens Galore

Transfer 5: Goldens Galore

Sister Marlowe...Week# 27

Yoooooooooo!

Alright so this might be the worst email ever!!! I left my planner at home and this past week feels like a year long... But, hence the subject of this email, we just started a new transfer yesterday! Anddddd.............. transfer news drum roll....................................... I am staying in Mooroolbark! Again haha. Yay! My daughter Sis Liutai has been taken from me and transferred to Footscray! An area in Heidleburg zone (the City zone covering all of Melbourne proper) and she is in the ghetttto hahaha. I miss her. Sister Ete will be staying with me for her last 5 days in Melbies, and then I'll be getting a new golden tomorrow! I'm so nervous to meet her! So far I've had American, Taiwanese, Samoan, and Tongan companions, so I'm guessing she'll be Indian or maybe south American hahahahha. Jokes, I have no idea!

Ummmm I'm trying to remember what even happened this week! I have never been so tired in my life. Ah one thing that was so awesome: our ward mission leader lives two house away from us, and his family has a Japanese student living with them while he's studying English in Melbourne! We were over for dinner the other night, and I had my Book of Mormon in front of me, and he just started asking me all about it and looking through the pictures and he wanted one in Japanese! Sooo Cool. his Name is Taisei. We got him a copy in Japanese and I'm sooooo excited to bring it to him!

Besides that... LISA CAME TO CHURCH! #miracles and her daughter came with her, and wants to be baptized!!! Wow wow wow. I am so excited for them!! I wish I could remember more...

Overall I think I am learning so much and I have made at least a few improvements from the day I got here 6 months ago.. (I hope) But one thing that is getting worse is my memory. WOW. I don't know if it's just the fact that I have so much I'm supposed to remember all the time, but I have the worst memory ever. If you ask either of my past two companions, I lose EVERYTHING!!! They can always tell by m face if I'm trying to remember where something is at.. "What did you lose this time?" So sad. But alas, the work moves on. I have come to the conclusion that Heavenly Father just really wants me to be studying 12 weeks.. This will be my 4th time starting the 12 week program. Maybe one day I will get it all figured out! Until then, I will just keep on praying and praying. I'm learning to just trust my Heavenly Father! I don't know why a lot of things happen, but there must be some kind of reason, so I just remind myself to give my worries to God and trust in his plans :) He's a pretty good person to invest our trust in.

I LOVE YOU ALL! Thank you for your support, thoughts, prayers, and influence. I pray for you!!!

Tofasoifua! Alofa atu
