JULY!!

It has been a long time since I have written anything. We have had new rules put in place where we only now have an hour and a half on emails and life has just been so crazy and hectic. Transfers are tomorrow. I feel as though I am staying. Who would have thought that I have been out here for four and a half months. I cant even believe it. Its CRAZY!! Life as a missionary flys by. I have had some of the roughest times of my life I feel in the last four and a half months. At my four month mark I got chased by a vicious dog as we were knocking at a members home and it was THEIR dog!!!! I ran into their house screaming and I swear the dog touched me. He is feisty! And it was on my four month mark! When I got inside I was in hysterics and laughing so hard because I could have DIED! Like legit! Probably exaggerating a little but he is one feisty guard dog that wasn't on his leash! I guess that's what you get when you go to their home at 8.40pm. At least you can say he is a good guard dog hey.

 

I wonder who my new companion will be on Thursday. I have only had my trainer as my companion so it will be interesting to see what happens. I will most likely be staying in Chapel Downs Ward but who knows. I love this area though I could honestly stay in this area for like half my mission. Within the last month we have had 3 baptisms and a wedding.​

​

Tessa got married and on Friday the 4th of july and married on the 5th of july and next year she will be getting sealed to her husband. And the two cute girls were a miracle baptism and we finally got their mom to come to church with us and she had a ball! She loved it as she hasn't been in a long time. There is so much potential in this area that its amazing! Never want to leave this area. We have the trust from the ward. From our bishop and as a missionary that is what you aim for. WE must always become as little children. Soften our hearts so that we are always learning and soaking in everything that our Heavenly Father wants us to learn and know. Obey all that He has asked of us so that we can live prosperous lives. Love Him and see what blessings our lives can receive as we put
Him at the fore front of our minds. I never done this before my mission. I am finding myself as I serve Him. As I pray to Him. As I just talk to my heavenly father. I am so grateful to have come and stayed.

 

I love my mission and I love my family and all my friends that are my family. Count your many blessings and you will see why.

 

Love Sister McFlinn,

 

always and forever x
