Howdy everyone!
Just wanted to say GOD IS SO GOOD. This week was full of joy and tender moments. My heart is full!
My time here in Ottawa is coming to a close now. I am so grateful for the time I have had here in Chapel Hill. Ottawa is INCREDIBLE. I have learned so much and grown so much here. And I will be continually praying for the faithful members and friends here to be able to have a temple one day soon.
I will miss it, and my dear companion. Leaving is always hard, but it’s always with purpose. I will be flying across the mission to….🥁🥁🥁Nova Scotia! on Thursday.
My very first area.
Where it all started.
But a little over a year later. And with different responsibilities.(as an STL)
Now let me share the tender mercy this is.
A year ago, my dear mission mom, sister Smith and I were Emergency transferred out of Cole Harbour. That little place and those people stole my heart from day 1, I felt something was missing and that I wasn't done there, I was confused, but the day we got news I wrote in my journal…
“I am SO excited to be serving in New Brunswick, and to open this area, it's going to be so much fun. I can't wait to see who the Lord had in wait for us in Kennebecasis. I know He is preparing hearts. I know He has a plan and a reason for putting us there. This is a land of dreams and i am dreaming with it, I am so excited to meet everyone. My heart is happy and excited. But also, it breaks a little with leaving Cole Harbour, i love it dearly, the people, the members, our friends, are amazing, I'm going to miss them and this town that steals your heart, I'll Be back sometime”
God Is Good.
And His plan is oh so perfect.
As I've been reading the Old Testament I am reminded of how God is a God of order. There's always a purpose to every little thing, the colors and the preciseness of His Tabernacle, the precise forms of sacrifice, etc.
Everything He does is in order and for a reason.
I am not sure what these next months will hold. I am not sure what the Lord's purposes are. But I trust it's all for a reason.
Sorry this is a little scatter brained, just running and packing. But I hope that as you read through the Old Testament this year you are able to learn more about God's perfect plan, His character, His mercy, and the sureness of the Covenants He makes with His children from the start.
Also! Couldn't let this week pass without saying I got to go exchanges with Sister Barton this week, LOVE HER!!! She is just an absolutely AMAZING MISSIONARY. I am grateful for her example.
I love you all so much!
Sending big hugs!
And HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
