Hola Fam!
Bueno, Im sure dad has already called and informed the whole
ward , and extended family member, maybe even the prophet himself that I have
been transferred!!!(since I sent him a quick email this morning telling him I may not be able to write today due to the transfer and he then researched everything about my area and figured out my comp's name etc before I could write now and tell you about it) I am now serving as a Sister Training Leader in Nueva
Cordoba with Hermana Humacata (de Rio Negro Argentina).
It is capital. Captial. Centro of Cordoba. It should
be a different experience. I am exicted but a little nervous as
well. There are so many tall building and noise and movement. How
in the world? It is situated right next to the univeristy so our ward is
full of YSA students. The average attendance is 90. That should be nice
to see.
Surprise... Hna Solar was also transferred!!! They put
elders in Rio Tercero and kicked us out! We were super sad to leave everything
behind. The members, P*o, the bikes, the tranquilidad, the super nice
pension. the companionship. We were a happy two together.
But I have quickly learned that changes are necessary.
And they often come right when the best things are happening. Thank
goodness we are good missionaries and we had the Area book updated! jaja :)
Now we just hope that the elders follow our plans that we drew out on the
calendar, and that they enjoy the kilo of ice ceram we accidentally left them
in the freezer. bummer dude.
TEMPLE TUESDAY!!! You will never believe it.
Tomorrow I will take part in moms weekly temple tuesday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bueno. One pro of being here in Cordoba is that we can attend the temple!
Once a transfer, so obviously we are going to go tomorrow, the first day
possible! Hna Dennis is in a trio with us until wednesday because she is
waiting for her companion to arrive from the MTC. Hna dennis will be
training. SO, she is in La rioja. Really far. So she asked
speacil permission to go to the temple while she is here in the city. And obvio
her 2 comps have to go with her. SO TOMORROW WE WILL ENTER THE NEWLY
DEDICATED TEMPLE!!! This means that the next pday we will have shortened
time, but I should still be able to get a quick email in. If not, you
will know why.
As a leader here, I will be able to visit Bell Ville for
exchanges!!! Unless some things change around! But I guess you could say I am
excited!
This week I was reading from Jesus the Christ. One
quick spiritaul note that stuck out to me was the fact when it explains that
Jesus literally CHOSE to give his life. Christ loves us so much and we
have such a great message to share. Christ lives and loves us. It
is wonderful to me. (when Hna Solar and I couldnt sleep at night, we sang
together "the wonderful song" [a title for I Stand
All Amazed that my little cousin Jackson gave it] in the dark until we dozed off.
Two nights ago, the spirit yet again testified to me that it is real. My
tears rolled down my cheeks as I felt his love and protection in that
moment. Luckliy it was in the dark so nobody saw my ugly cry, but it
filled me to the fullest.
"What other man has lived with power to withstand death, over whom death could not prevail except through his own submission? Yet Jesus Christ could not be slain until His “hour had come,” and that, the hour in which He voluntarily surrendered His life, and permitted His own decease through an act of will. Born of a mortal mother He inherited the capacity to die;begotten by an immortal Sire He possessed as a heritage the power to withstand death indefinitely. He literally gave up His life; to this effect is His own affirmation: “Therefore doth my Father love me,because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again.”q And further: “For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself.”r Only such a One could conquer death; in none but Jesus the Christ was realized this requisite condition of a Redeemer of the world."
I love you all and wish you the greatest of weeks!
con amor,
Hermana Woolley
Hurrah for Israel!
Hello President,
Well. Wow. Transfers again. It is crazy how fast time passes. I am very happy to be in Nueva Cordoba with
Sister Humacata.
I enjoyed my time with Sister Solar, and learned a lot from
her training. I am grateful for all of
the opportunities to grow and progress in this life. The truth is that I am humbled by your confidence. Thank you.
I really try to be my best and develop and I see that I am doing
it. Obviously I still have a lot to do,
but our Savior is so merciful in giving us challenges, assignements and an
elevated dedication.
Often it is normal to think that when things are difficult,
we can rest because God understands.
However, He expects our best always.
I recently heard that Sister Romeril and her going home. I was sad because she helped me a lot and is
a great support. Nevertheless, it makes
me think a lot about the preparation that we do every day. It would be terrible to go home
unprepared. Same with the mission area
plan. It would be horrible if it was not
done and all of the sudden two new missionaries are transferred into an
area. Like Alma explained, what horror
to arrive at the feet of the Lord without making any change or progress in this
life. In conclusion, we need the
atonement in order to avoid that feeling of guilt and pain. We need to change and strengthen ourselved
every day in order to arrive with all of the peace in the moment he calls
us. And the great Atonement makes it
possible.
I hope that in this capacity that I can help the Sisters
make those changes and that they want to see in their missions. Be better teachers, companions, students
and so on. I am going to work my best
to be obedient and diligent so that I can give all to the Lord and return to
his presence with honor and emotion.
Thanks for everything.
Know that I will give my best effort to support and help in this work.
Sister Woolley
Pictures:
the goodbyes, the comps, and the wounded knees from praying
so long jaja joke. Really it was becuase I chased after a soccer ball in
my skirt, and fell on the ground. The ward at the activity got a pretty
good laugh. Its ok. I did too. But now it does hurt a little to kneel and pray.
jaja.
