Shea's Mission!!!: Family

FAMILY!

Those videos are fantastic. I cant believe how much Brayden has changed! I didnt even realize that it was him until he started talking. His face has changed alot and it looks like he has gotten alot taller. Michelle looks GIGANTIC. She did not look that big in the pictures. That thing needs to get out of there. Decided on a name yet? I hope that Christmas will be great! I am working on send a small package to you all from here, but I am not sure if it will get there in time. I havent gotten the package you sent yet, but I am sure I will real soon.

So remember how Sister Wilcox and I thought that we were staying in our lovely little Cheung Sha Wan? well.... move calls came and PSYCH I got kicked out. I have now moved up into the New Territories, to Butterfly ward.

When they first told us that I was moving I balled like a little baby. I really fell in love with everything in that area. Especially the investigators. It is just really sad, cause when you move from an area, you never know if you will ever see these investigators again. I was really torn up that I wouldnt get a chance to see Sister Yip again. She should have been back from Mainland by then, but hadnt been answering her phone and everytime we went to stalk her and King, she didnt come by. As soon as District meeting was over, we decided to go out and stalk them one last time in hopes that she would come by. 3:30 came and passed. I was super bummed. I had been praying in my heart with all my might that I might be able to see her one last time. We sat down for a second and Sister Wilcox made some calls while I just sat there for a sec. ...... and then......

there she was. with King. walking down the path. I jumped up and ran over and gave her a gigantic bear huge. She was so surprised! I was crying again. This time out of happiness that my prayers were answered. She was like, "Why are you crying?!" I just said how much I missed her and how I was afraid that I wouldnt ever see her again. She was so touched. She said no one has ever missed her so much. Apparently her phone had gotten stolen and she hasnt felt like calling us cause she has been really sad lately. She looked sad. Her hair got darker and longer. Before she was quick to smile and laugh. But by the time we left she was happier and we were able to schedule her to see her the next day.

It was one of the BIGGEST miracles of my life. Heavenly father MUST hear and answer our prayers. I dont think that I will ever forget that day. It made me feel SO much better about leaving the area. Now that I know she wont be forgotten about I feel so much better.

But Butterfly is great. I might have ripped out my heart and left it in Cheung Sha Wan, but I am growing a new heart here in Butterfly. The area is tiny, but the ward is huge! It is filled to the brim with families! I was just amazed on Sunday at how many families were sitting in our little chapel (Which is situated above Welcome the grocery store ^-^). The area just opened to sisters last transfer so it is still building.

I am now companions with Sister Palmer who has been out 4 months longer than I have so I finally get to be the junior companion. :) But we are both the Sister trainer leaders of the New Territories Zone. So that should be fun.

Missions are great. I cant believe how fast the time is going. It is SO crazy.

I love you all!
