Sister Kierra Wadsworth's Mission Blog: October 12, 2015

Hey family and friends!!

This week has begun a new transfer, a new companion, and lots of "see you later's."

My new companion is Sister Mara Wilson. She is from Tuscon Arizona. She is 20 years old. She has been out for 7 month now. She came out with Sister Blake. Ephrata is her third area, I'm her fourth companion. She has 10 siblings (4 biological and 6 new step siblings). Her mom remarried since she has been on her mission. She has never met the guy haha!! She is very happy about it though. She is very similar to Sister Blake. It is going to be ggod but this probably means that I am leaving Ephrata the next transfer so that is really sad :(

We had transfers on Tuesday and I had to say goodbye/see you later to Sister Zaugg and some of the missionaries from my district and that was really hard, I did cry a lot... It was just and emotional couple of days for me because I was super nervous to get a new companion and there was a lot of change to our district. We were seriously so close ad a lot of people got transferred then President Johnson took out a companionship out of our district and it was super sad!! We got torn up! But I know that everything will work out! This is what the Lord wants so I am going to do it with a good attitude because I know it will all be ok!

Well this week was good for Sister Wilson and I. We were able to have some good lessons. One of our investigators ended up going to a hospital and is really struggling right now. I love this person soooo much and when you love someone so much it is really hard to see them struggling. I have truly come to love prayer because of it, it has helped me so much throughout my mission. I was able to testify to our investigator with conviction that she will be ok and that everything will work out. I wouldn't have known that if I have not know that if I didn't ask our Father in Heaven to help me know what to say and do for her. It has been such a growing experience having prayers answered and knowing that everything will work out because the spirit testified to you that it would. It's amazing!!

This week I was ponderizing Ether 12:27. I love this scripture so much!!! It has brought me so much comfort that every little trial and struggle I go through will help me in the end to be a better person. It has been a tough journey thus far in my life, there have been really good times and some not so good times and all of it has helped me be the person I am today. I set a picture of my scripture as my background on my ipad as Elder Durrant invited us to do and it helped me so much!! Every time I would see it I would think to myself "everything will work out, I can do this!!" It was so amazing to ponder that one specific Scripture, it has helped me get through this week with a good attitude that this transfer is going to be great!!! If you have started ponderizing your scripture I would invite you to do so, I know it will bless your life in so many different ways!!! I promise it will help you :)

We had Stake Conference this weekend and we were trained a lot about keeping the Sabbath Day Holy. There shouldn't be a big ole long list of "do's" and "don'ts" we just need to think about what sign we want to give Heavenly Father. We need to be in HIS service!!! It was great :) I hope you all will apply that to your lives and keep the Sabbath Day Holy, make it a delight!!! I know that we will be blessed immensely if we do so, we will have a much better relationship with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.

Well I love you all so much. Hope you all have a great and an amazing week!!!!!

Love, Sister Kierra Wadsworth
