Hello Family! and the everyone who doesn't share my genes,
hi to you too!
If you didn't skype with me on Mother's day, than you
haven't heard the news- I'm getting transferred! Or, rather, I've been
transferred! I'm in the same stake but a different ward- Cave Creek Ward in the
Scottsdale North Stake. We cover a huge area including the towns of Cave Creek,
Carefree, and who knows what else! Maybe part of a National Forest too..... :)
My new companion is Sister Cole, and for the next few days I'll have Hermana
White as a companion too! We are taking the area from her, but it doesn't need
to be white-washed, so she is showing us around and introducing us to people
until Saturday. Then she will go to her new area! President and Sister Sweeney
will take her up to the Fort Apache Reservation near Show Low on their way to
Eager on Saturday.
Cave Creek Ward is an EXCELLENT ward, with a lot of
potential and hard working members! I'm excited to be here, but nervous to be
taking on such precious cargo. But I'm trusting in the Lord! He knows what He
is doing with me and the ward. :) There must be something here for me to do!
I'm excited to work and get to know the area and the people.
We're actually living with another set of sisters right now,
because the member home we live at has company over. So we'll move in next
Monday. Unfortunately, that means I get to live out of suitcases until then.
this is gonna get rough! But we just had three missionaries relocated here from
Ukraine, and they told us about how rough it was for them, so I am never
complaining again. At least, I'll try! They had to be evacuated and had a day's
notice to leave. I am so blessed to be serving in the United States, in an area
where I know I have a mattress on a bed frame and buildings that are up to
code. We truly are blessed with so much!
Don't know much else of what to say.. I'll know more next
week! But just seeing the area and the people yesterday was amazing. I'll
really going to miss Chaparral Ward, but they'll keep going! And Brenda told me
she would definitely invite me to her baptism!!
I love you guys! I'm so thankful for the opportunity I have
to be here serving a mission and doing the work of the Lord in Arizona. I may
not be as far out of the heat as I would like, but God puts us through our
challenges to make us stronger! :)
Be happy!!
Love, Sister Hailey Brown
