August 11, 2014 — “I REFUSE TO SERVE ANYWHERE BUT WASHINGTON! for my whole mission. :)”

I don’t know how to start a letter anymore. So hey.Our mini missionary this week was AMAZING. It was a major blessing to have her here in Nine Mile. And it prepared us for something great…

We got our transfer calls week. MY LAST TRANSFER CALL. I am staying in Nine Mile, which is the greatest news ever! Sister Huffaker is staying as well. However, we are also getting a third companion, SISTER RASMUSSEN! She and I came out together and I love her. She is going home for school in a few weeks so she won’t be with us forever- but enough time to have a blast! Two deaths in one transfer. I am so excited though. I love the members out here. I love the hilarious experiences we are having. And the amazing experiences.

This week we decided to go out to Ford. Y’all probably won’t know what that means, but it’s boonie. The roads we drove down made us feel like we were riding a buckin’ bull. And we were only driving like 3 miles per hour.

We saw a less active member of our ward and she was a hoot. I liked everything about her. She has had hip surgery twice on each hip… and she lifted up her shorts to show us her scars. Let’s just say we saw a little more than just her upper thighs. It’s times like that we’re grateful for a guitar and beautifully written Hymns to clear the way for the spirit to fill the room again. 🙂  What a blessing.

On Saturday, we decided to go around the back side of our area to get to our next destination because it would be loads less miles. I was excited because I’ve wanted to do that ALL TRANSFER. 🙂 However, we didn’t realized until we ventured out, that our map doesn’t show us the far edge of our area… Sister Huffaker was pretty tense about the whole situation, and she had good reason to be, but I FELT SO AT PEACE. So you know what I did?

I looked to the SUN! 🙂

Not sure where I learned to do that, but it worked great! If you know anything about the roads in Washington, you know that they are windy and don’t make any logical sense. Getting turned around was super easy, but I would look to the sun and say, we want to be going that way. 🙂 Soon enough we were headed towards a mountain and it didn’t look promising. However, I knew that the sun was behind us so we were heading east, so we kept going.  Sister Huffaker kept saying, “I really don’t think we know where we are going! This doesn’t seem right.”

But for some reason I knew that the sun would show us the way to go. Well, within no time we were in an area that was familiar to me and I knew we’d be back on our map soon. 🙂

It is an amazing thing to have a Savior, the Son of God, someone we can look to always for guidance and direction. If we always recognize the Savior in our lives we will be able to follow the plan our Heavenly Father has prepared for us. IT IS A BEAUTIFUL PLAN. He wants our happiness. Even when it seems we may be heading into a giant mountain- He will guide us around it, over it, or through it.  The Son of God will always show us the way to go. 🙂

I’m looking so forward to the next six weeks. 🙂

I LOVE YOU ALL!

Love,
Sister Meservy
