What a busy week with transfers this past week! It was super sad to say goodbye to all the amazing people in Winnipeg! I love them so much but I know there is a reason I am in Saskatoon! I am excited to see what this next transfer will bring.
On Tuesday evening the elders and us decided to last minute put together a light the world fireside to introduce it to the members and get them excited.. We only had about 5 members show up but that is okay! President and Sister Hitchcock came for the cookies afterwards so it was still good, and it got me excited for Light the World!
On Wednesday evening sister utsch and I had some time to do some finding. It was super snowing and had been snowing all day long! Anyway, as we were going from house to house we see a cop driving up and down the street. Eventually he stopped us and asked what we were doing. We calmly replied that we were missionaries just going through the neighborhood and he said okay. I guess someone had called the cops on us because they thought we were trying to break into houses! That was a first haha.
Wednesday evening we also got to go and have supper at the mission home with the new missionaries. There was only one sister coming in so perks of serving in the same ward as the assistants we got to go to the dinner and have her stay with us at our apartment her first night so she could have a companion! It was fun to get to meet her! She is from St George. Their plane was super delayed so they got in really late but we still had dinner and such!! Then the next morning we went back for breakfast! It was a good way to end my last few days in Waverley!
On Thursday we started the long drive to Saskatoon. We drove 6 hours to regina and then stayed the night there. That was super weird but fun to be back there even if it was only for a few hours! Then on Friday morning we drove a few more hours and made it to Saskatoon!
I am excited to be serving here for the next 6 weeks! It seems like a pretty good place and all the members are very welcoming! My new companion is Sister Avendano. She was born in Mexico but came from Edmonton. She is super sweet. And her english is coming along really well! The reason for my heading this week is because she is short like me! They decided to put the two shortest sisters together haha, President Hitchcock has a great sense of humor sometimes! We are going to do great things though just like the scripture says!
I was reminded of the importance of reading the Book of Mormon every single day this week. With the breakfast and driving all day on thursday and then also getting up to drive on friday this week I was not able to have time for my personal studies and missed reading from the Book of Mormon. These shouldn't be excuses and I definitely learned how important it is to read from it daily no matter what. I was having a harder time over the next few days and I realized a large part was probably because I had not made time to study the scriptures for a few days. My spirit was feeling very weak. So I am very determined to never let that happen again! It was a great lesson to me of how easy it is to slip out of habits but how important it is to not!! I know that the Book of Mormon can be a huge source of strength for us in our daily lives so I hope that each of us make time to read it DAILY!
I am also super excited for Light the World and I hope you will all participate. Sorry for the super long emails. I keep telling myself they will be shorter but they never are. So if you don't read it that is okay:) I love you all and hope you have a wonderful week full of Lighting the World!
Love, Sister Godderidge
