Hello family!
What a great week!
A is doing so well! We had a wonderful
lesson with her and her boyfriend Al. The sign language interpreter
that came this time, Sister C, is great! I feel such a connection to
A.
We received transfer calls last night!
It was a big surprise for us. We both expected my companion Sister S
would be leaving! But we were shocked to hear that I am also
leaving! It is a double out! I will be going to the Border (not sure
where yet.) All I know is that I will meet at the church on Wednesday
to ride in the van down to the border. Changes are happening! Sister
S will be finishing the training of a new missionary and so will I.
Sister S will do great!!
If you would like to send a letter this
week, perhaps it is best to send it to the Mission Office:
404 E. Ramsey Rd. #105San Antonio, TX 78216
It is hard to leave our precious area
and all of these people who we love with all our hearts!! But we are
confident that the next missionaries who come in will take good care
of them- after all, they are TSAMmers! (Texas San Antonio Mission
missionaries!)
The Lord is truly doing His work. God
works in mysterious ways - but His ways are wonderful, beautiful,
miraculous! If we can get past the initial fear, heartache, tears,
frustration of His plan unfolding, and open our eyes and hearts to
His Will, we will begin to see how marvelously He does His work!!
I love this gospel! I love this work! I
love the Lord!
I love the TSAM - the missionaries and
the people here. I love the privilege it is to be a double assigned
missionary! I love how the Lord has shaped me as I have "pushed
against the rock" (Dad!) He has taught me lessons that I
couldn't have learned in other ways. Today I was thinking about how
grateful I am for the miracle the Lord has worked in my life this
past year. After a year of praying and pleading, the Lord has not yet
changed my physical location (although He HAS worked miracles in the
visa process!), but He has truly changed me. And that is a far
greater miracle than anything I could ever ask for. He has changed
my heart, strengthened me, taught me, lifted me.
I was very touched by this line from
President Slaughter's email today: "The message of the
Restoration is not what you say–it is who you are. It is your
faith; it is your testimony, your goodness, your passion. Who you are
speaks volumes more than what you say. It is how you live, how you
talk, how you walk. And the more you allow the gospel to change you,
the greater the message you become to the world."
Have a wonderful week. The Lord trusts
us. He loves us!
All in!
Sister E. Greenall
