Well...We got a phone call from our Zone Leaders Monday night that said I was going to be leaving Glenmont right before Thanksgiving. I was bummed, I'm not going to lie, and not to amped to head to a new area. Today we found out where I was going. I'm headed to Gaithersburg! And I'm in a trio with a newbie, Hna Tuft, and one of our oldest sisters, Hna Finlay. I'm looking forward to meet the ward and the people here and I know this is where the Lord needs me so I'm headed forward with his help.
For the last week, I had this super nice cold and now it is a cough that I'm not too fond of but it is truly amazing how much the Lord blesses missionaries. I've had colds before where all I want to do is go home and sleep but I havn't felt that way! I've just wanted to push through and help the people that we needed to help! There were a couple nights where I was exhausted but other than that it was some strength I've never seen before. Truly a blessing!
And with that - the Lord is still blessing us! Well In Glenmont in the last two weeks we got 3 baptismal dates, and started teaching 2 families! It is amazing! I love that ward and I know the sisters who are there now will really keep it going! In DC 1st ward, there was a baptism this week for Bibiana - 14 yr old girl who her family was baptized about a year ago, but she lives with her mom who is not a member. Well she just got baptized and it was amazing! I taught her my last transfer so I was able to go and see it! I'm so excited for her - she has such a wonderful sweet spirit and will bring many people unto Christ just because of her example.

Well, everyone..once again - You're awesome! Something I've realized a lot this week is the Lord's timing. I think I said this last week too. Maybe I'm getting it but it's not fully going through. But I want you to all know he's got a plan for each and every one of us. We may be able to see where we are, but he is the only one that knows where we can go and who we can be, and we have to ask him to help us get there. I know i need more patience and to be more humble and I know i can't to either without his help. I hope you can all find that help that you need and remember to ask for help.
Con Amor,
-Hermana Word
