Well that says it all! This week we have transfers... I have been in my
city for 3 transfers (since February) and Sorella Condie since April. I was
thinking I would be heading off but nope, I am staying and she is leaving me.
Monday afternoon we were at a member's home for lunch when we got a call from
President Dibb. I answered and he said, "Sorella Jarvis, we would like you to
stay in Montevarchi" I was thinking, "Um, what!? That's crazy talk." He
continued on to say, "so that you can train a new missionary." *mouth drops
to the floor* Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness. I'm gonna have a baby :) Not
gonna lie. I immediately panicked...and still kinda am BUT I am SO excited!
There are only 2 sisters and 2 elders coming in this group and then next time
there will be about 13 sisters...weird. AND this means that I will be in
Montevarchi. For.Ev.Er. I always knew that this
branch would be special to me. Ever since Sorella Sottili in the MTC (the branch
president's daughter) told me to come here I knew I would. Even though training
basically means I'll be spending 7 months here I know that this is truly an
answer to many of my prayers. Heavenly Father always
knows what is best for us and how to prepare us for the next step. I really
really hope this means in my time here I will see a building. I will never ever
ever take for granted a house of worship. You just don't understand until it's
life. My dream: a branch activity-- any night we want!
We have been running all over the place saying good bye to everyone. I'm
really grateful that I'm staying. Watching Sorella Condie say goodbye I was so
glad that it wasn't me. She is off to the miraculous city of Pavia to be
a Sister Training Leader. Get it girl! And I'm also really grateful to train.
Sorella Yost was trained here and she always told me I would train here. I said
"nahh, it doesn't fit the timeline." Welp, that's why I'm not in charge. I know
this time with Sorella Condie was absolutely necessary. She is one of the most
amazing people I have ever met in my life and she has become my constant
support. I have seen such major highs and lows with her and, outside of when I
was trained myself, I think I have truly seen myself change the most. I am
scared out of my mind to have this great responsability but I know that with the
help of the Lord anything is possible. And I truly believe that she will be
teaching me a lot more than I teach her :)
I just don't know!!! I'll find out tomorrow. Looks like a week of suspense
for y'all :) Wish me luck!
This is the last week in the month of invites! The month may end but the
inviting doesn't :)
Love you all!!! Take care!
Sorella Jarvis
