I'm getting transferred! First off, I'm
really sad, because I LOVE FAIRMONT. And Sister Marsh... and I will miss
both dearly, BUT I'm headed to Roanoke Virginia... the blessed land of
the mission.... every missionary wants to end up in Roanoke, and I've
been blessed to go there. I leave tomorrow, and I am so excited. My new companion will be Sister Ward. She's from Kansas.
Over
the past few days we've been meeting with people so that I could have
the opportunity to say goodbye to them, and I just love all of these
people. I'll really miss those that I've taught, and Fairmont has taught
me a lot about the love the Lord has for each of His children, and also
about how infinite the Atonement is.
We had a lot of friends at church on Sunday,
and I was happy because I got to share my testimony one last time while
here in Fairmont. I talked a lot about our Savior and the power that He
gives each of us, and about how the Book of Mormon truly testifies of
Him, and allows us to strengthen our relationship with Him.
Sister
Marsh and I have been thinking a lot about joy, and if there is one
thing she's taught me is that we are all to be "happiness seekers". She
does everything she can to continuously be happy, and she's such an
example to me. One thing we've talked a lot about this last week is how
the gospel is meant to help us to be happy... especially as we rely on
our Savior. I am so thankful for the joys that come from living this
gospel, and I have added desire to share our message with everyone!
Don't forget to read your scriptures, say your prayers, and follow the Savior!
Love, Sister Kirkby
