Hellooooo!
Today is transfers! Sister Kelly, may she rest in peace, is going home! She finished her mission and is making her way back to the Promised Land. I mean, Utah!
We had a FAN-TASTIC week! We are still teaching some elect people. 5 of our investigators came to church and LOVED IT! Ironically, they love how tiny it is. Charles told us that his experience at church was "every thing he thought it would be, and more." He went on to tell us that one of his favorite things was the fact that there was a family on the back row eating a bag of candy! These people are crazy, but I love them! Sister Kelly and I gave talks at church. I spoke about the importance of making covenants and compared it to rock climbing. I think it went pretty well. Since we're preparing people for baptism, I decided to talk about that topic for them!
I got a new companion, Sister Ray. She is also from Utah. We will both go home in November. I talked with President McDonough about this and told me that we are going to evaluate our area after this transfer and see if we will keep it open. The idea of going home and closing the area at the same time KILLS me! But everything happens for a reason! The best thing Sister Ray and I can do is keep working as hard as we can and prove to President that there's work to be done here! But if not, it'll be alright. This little branch is scrappy. It's the oldest unit in Mississippi. If it has survived this long, I'm sure it can make it a little longer.
Anyway, I hope everyone is doing well! I have enjoyed the emails I got this week! Thanks for your love and your advice!
Love,
Sister McElderry
P.S. I snagged a quick picture of me and Sister Ray here in the library. Disregard how crazy we look. I got up super early this morning to help my companion finish packing!
