Well, this week has been pretty good. It was so weird to not have thanksgiving with any of you. I am very very happy that you did service that day. It brought great excitement to my heart to hear that you served Sis. Quershi (SP). :) Thankyou very much for doing that. I am sure she appreciated it as well. For thanksgiving we went to Sister Skeens house. Over in the south we call grandma Mamaw. So we call sister skeen mamaw. She is such a sweet lady and she is always first in inviting us to her little-big family parties. It was fun going there. We spent two hours there conversing with people and eating all the yummy delicious food. Then we left and we still had to plan for the week so we did that. We took a nap though and that was different. I didn't mean to sleep so long but I slept for an hour. That turkey did it for me. :) I love that family so much and I am going to miss them alot.
Yes I do have transfers coming up. I don't know if I will be transfered or not but secretely, I hope that I do get transfered. I love Tell City a whole bunch and I love my companion to death but I am ready for a change. I will have been in this area for 5 months on thursday. Time has gone by so fast. I have a feeling though that something big is going to happen to one of the sister areas. We have three sisters leaving for home this transfer. One sister due to medical and two sisters because their time is up. We only have 1 new sister coming in. This worries us because there is no way that all the sister areas can be covered. So we are thinking that one area will either have to be closed or elders will have to be placed into the area. We are thinking that maybe our area will have to change. There could be elders moved back since it has been three years since there have been elders. OR the area may close because we have not had very many lessons lately and we have not had a lot of investigators. I hope the area does not close though. I wish I knew what was going to happen.
On saturday I got to go to the temple. I was very excited to go. One of the families sister moyes taught and baptized was going to the temple for the first time. It was so exciting to see them. It was such a great experience for myself to really feel of the love of God even more and to see the family get sealed for time and all eternity. They have 6 children and it was neat to see all of them gathered around the alter. It made me want to remember what it was like to be with you, mom and dad, when you went to the temple. It was exciting. After the temple we went to eat lunch with some of the ward members and they were so funny. Then we went to this candy shop and got some red hots that are so so so good. I have never tasted so good of red hots in my life. This store was like the See's candy shop but it seemed better. :)
Saturday night, one of the people the Foote's were teaching was getting baptized. We went to that and it was a great experience for him. He is going to be a great member. We did a little tracting that night and went to bed a little early. We were so tired after having to wake up at 5:00 in the morning to get ready to go to the temple.
That is pretty much all that happened this week. It was such a good weekend. A much needed time to go to the temple. I feel so much peace there. I know what I am doing is what God wants me to do. No matter how hard it may be, I will accomplish what I need to do. I have been gone for 6 months on thursday and it is just the beginning. One more year of learning and I am excited for that. :) I love you all and I can't wait to hear your voices soon. Tell me what time you all will be together. Does jaden work on christmas? You all have a great week a head. You are the bestest ever!
Love, Sister Amanda Ralph
