Faire une suivi

Guess what?
I'm getting mutated!!!!! Ok for the lay man that means i'm getting moved to another city or transfered. I just love the french translation: Mutated. Sounds soo much cooler huh? I'm going to toulouse to be in a three some!!! (meaning there are 3 of us in a companionship) Keep it clean! I'm a missionnary for crying out loud!

My new companions will be Soeur Johnson, and Soeur Orlando - i know her from the MTC. She's crazy funny and full of bizare weird ideas. I hear Soeur Johnson is so great. She's going home in 2 transfers so I know we will be working our butts off.

I'm so sad to leave this beautiful city of Antibes. I was looking forward to a winter on the Medditerannean. I really love the members of this ward. It has been really really hard to say good bye because you never know when we'll be together again. If ever.

But I'm sooooo excited to go. As soon as the Assistiants to President told me i immediatlly knew it was right. In our district, everyone thought it was going to be Soeur Titz to go. But Friday and Saturday morning i started feeling like it was me. And voila! C'est moi!

A three some might be interesting but I hear that we have the biggest appartment in the whole mission. The ward is on fire. they have had 2 baptisms in the last month. the Ward mission leader is ready to go. I'm so excited to start a new adventure. I felt like i was ready to leave my "blue ville" and my "mom" translation = my first city and my trainer.

I know that the lord is in this work and that's all I could say to these wonderful members in Antibes. I'm not leaving you becuase I chose to, I'm leaving becuase God has called me to another city.

I know you are all thinking Oh no! How will I find her new address? How will I send her all of the letters I'm going to write. well let me put your mind at rest. My new address is the mission address. I'll be like 10 minutes from the mission home.

But if you happened to "miss place" my cute little blue card with the sun on it, voila here is my address:

France Toulouse Mission
4 rue Alaric II
Compans Caffarelli
31000 Toulouse France

Know what else that means? I can get packages every week! Yeah!!!! So umm...yah...uh...Just kidding. :)

Everyone tells me that I'm going to Toulose so President can keep an eye on me but I think it's becuase he likes his favorite missionnaries close. It's all about Perspective right?

And if you are worried about all of the letters you have already sent. Take a deep breath. There is always "Faire une suivi" France is the forwarding mail capitol of the world. A letter that I wrote from the MTC got returned to Provo, then forwaded to the Mission Home, then to Antibes. By the time I got it, the entire front was coverd with stamps and scribbles and other wierd french writing. Anyway, Soeur Titz promised to forward all of the letters (that I know are already on the way) to me in toulouse.

I'm so excited for this new adventure. It's going to be awesome. It's the first time I've felt all giggly and anxious to wake up in the morning since the MTC. It's totally right and I'm so excited!

Love you all,
shai

A thought for the week.

A friend told me (love ya Ken) something that really hit me. he said "don't deny yourself the blessing s you are meant to recieve." For me it meant Let the Lord work in your life. Let His power be there. That is His purpose, His desire, His plan. He wants to be in your life. Don't deny yourself the blessings you are meant to recieve. He's there for you.
