Trunky Email

Hola!

If my mom hasn't shouted it on the rooftops yet, my release date is
the 8th of December. I got my "trunky email" this last Wednesday. I
was sitting waiting for a meeting to start when I got it. I had
figured I was going home the 22 because that's when transfers end...
But once again God decided to throw me a curveball. Not going to lie I
was a bit bummed to have my days get cut but I'll be happy to spend
the holiday season back home.

The best thing that happened this week is our investigator Richard
told us that his papers should be all done and they have a wedding
planned for September! You know what that means, baptism in SEPTEMBER!
Although I am 99% positive I won't be there im so grateful that things
are moving forward for him finally and he's able to get baptized. This
man is amazing.

A very interesting thing happened to me a few days back. We were
visiting a less active and she was taking care of a little girl for a
month while her mom was out working. This little 2 year old stole my
heart. I'm not normally all over kids but she stole my heart right
away. You could see her overwhelming need for affection. She'd been
lacking someone to tell her how pretty and adorable she was. We
played, danced, and when she was tired curled up on my lap and slept.
I wanted to take her home with me so bad. In that moment I wanted
nothing more then to be a mother. I am grateful that I have the gospel
in my life (and an amazing mother as an example) that will help
prepare me to be a mom when the time comes.

This week is the last week of the transfer and our agenda is full of
visits with members. I'm pumped but I'm nervous what's going to happen
to my waistline. Wish me luck.

I know the gospel is true. It really is there to help families be
together forever. I know my Savior lives and loves us.

Con amor,
Hermana Shurtz
