Week 24.....Transfer Tomorrow!

Well another week has gone by too quickly, but it was a good one!

There is a couple we have been teaching for a while. They
didn't come to church on Sunday because they are looking for a place
to move....out of our mission :( it's pretty sad, hopefully they don't
move.
this week as a mission we were supposed to add 10 people as a
companionship. We added 7 but that was still pretty awesome and they
are some amazing new people with a lot of potential. I was kind of sad
this week when we met a new person and I realized I probably wouldn't
be able to see them progress because I'd be gone, but I am excited to
hear about how Ramona and these people are doing after I leave. Change
is good, they need a new fresh missionary to change even more things
around here and help this area to reach its full potential.

I'm pretty sad that I have to say goodbye to everyone here. I love
them all and I have really grown to love it here in Ramona. I'm so
nervous about meeting new people where I go, but I know it will all be
okay and hopefully I will be able to love them just as much as I love
them here. I love Ramona and all its small town craziness but it is
time for a new change. I am excited to learn something new from my new
companion and my new area.

The spirit this week taught me to always pray with my heart. Sometimes
I feel very repetitious, but I know that as I pray with my heart, we
will be able to see miracles. This week I noticed that when I prayed
with my heart for someone to be home, they were home. I didn't just
ask, I asked with my heart. Then We went and acted.

I am trying so hard to get myself out of my timid shell more
especially with talking to people on the street, which I have
struggled with from the beginning. To push myself, I made a goal to
talk to 15 people a day. Well, I changed my ways and talked to 15
people a day! I felt more accomplished as I did all I could with the
help of my companion to reach my goal. Sometimes it was hard and I
felt timid, but I forgot myself and did it anyway.

Through the Book of Mormon this week, I read in Mosiah, which I really
love. I love the story of King Limhi and Ammon. They just had so much
faith.
I really loved these 2 verses in Mosiah 23

10 Nevertheless, after much tribulation, the Lord did hear my cries,
and did answer my prayers, and has made me an instrument in his hands
in bringing so many of you to a knowledge of his truth.

11 Nevertheless, in this I do not glory, for I am unworthy to glory of myself.

I just love how humble he was and I want to be the same, completely
relying on the Lord in all things. That is also something I need to
work on a lot.

Tomorrow is transfer meeting and I will let you know where I am on Tuesday

Love,

Hermana Lapp
