Bekkaz Lemon Zest Blog: Transfers/What a week

oh man what a week! It started off really good and then took a nose dive and is now working its way back up there.

The main news of the week is that we got transfer calls. I wont go into details about how we got them but know it was not good. So I found out that im being transferred up to REXBURG! I'll be serving on the BYU-I Campus! When I found out and how I found out though I started to cry. Im really sad to be leaving my area and the missionaries I serve with and around. Im also gonna miss the Visitor Center but I will most likely go back see that im VC called. Its just a really hard pill to sallow. Im sure once I get up there it will be fine.. Its the anticipation that's killing me. But it will be like ripping of a band aid.. It will hurt at first but after it will bet alot better. After that our whole week was thrown off a little bit because we had to make so many adjustments.

Ok so on with the rest of the week even though it seems so small compared to transfer news. I got a package from my BFFFE AMY! its a 12 day of christmas thing and I love it! so Far it been a blast from my childhood past! all my favorite snacks and things I grew up with on guam! Its made me a little home sick but I love it so much! the only thing I have been stingy with and wont share is the Aloe juice.. of course cuz its heaven in a bottle! haha I cant wait to see what else there is though! thanks so much AMY! I LOVE YOU!

I also got a package from Anthony, Sia and kids! I loved it! lots of little things to keep me entertained haha. thanks for thinking of me guys =) Mom and dad... your Christmas card with the pedigree chart... all my fellow missionaries find great laughter in the fact that Im all ALONE (I have no posterity) haha and the fact that you put a CRAZY pic of me on it.. lol they want copies of it to put in their journals haha... its super funny when I show it to people cuz they make me carry it around to show other missionaries. So this past Thursday we had a gift exchange with the other set of sisters on Friday after we found out that I was gonna be leaving before Christmas! We all have matching socks and are gonna wear them on transfer day together. Sister Keith gave me a Blanket and little things like glow in the dark stars the kind you put on the wall, mints, nail polish. It was great! so much fun! we then went to lunch with the Spanish elders for the last time before I leave.

Its been an emotional week but thats what I signed up for right? They say get comfortable with being uncomfortable... lol cuz as soon as you do they uproot you and move you away haha. The Lord knows more than we do though and I know that there is a reason im going to Rexburg to serve on campus. I intend to find out why. Im just trusting the Lord and doing what He tells me to do. Thats the whole reason im out here. I love you all had hope you have a great week! stay awesome
