Transfers, new companions, same amazing spirit..

Well, today was another emergency transfer! So, just to catch you up if you have been so confused.. after Sister Menguito left I got a short term companion, sister Dalisay, then she stayed for two weeks, and I got another short term... from my old area. It was so much fun to be with her! Sister Mendoza. She was only my compnaion for 5 days and now I have a full time missionary companion, sister Legaspi. She is so great, i can already tell we are going to do great things together! (: we are batch so we go home at the same time, but, I love that neither of us are trunky.. we have such great desire to get out there and work.

This week was a challenging one for me. I struggled with some kind of being sick. I'm better now, don't you worry. But it was hard to just stay in my apartment cause I was sick. I just wanted to be out working and teaching.

The thing is though... you know its hard to have a short term companion... you have all the responsibility and you basically teach everything cause she doesn't really know anything... and I think I got sick because heavenly father was trying to teach me a lesson. I make mistakes, and I sometimes just think that I can do everything on my own... but I'm not Super Missionary Sister Young.. I'm just Sister Young and I can't do anything if I don't rely on the Atonement of Jesus Christ. 

What I mean is that I am stubborn and I was trying to just do it all on my own. Not asking for the help that I knew that I needed. Why? I don't know. But I was reading in my personal study a couple of days ago in alma 7:11-13 where it talks about all the things that Christ went through for us.... and it hit me like a rock. I can do a lot of things on my own, but I can't accomplish what HE wants to be accomplished if I just try and do it myself. I learn alot, repented a lot, and now I am better. 

I know i've said this before, but the atonement is not just to us to be cleaned from our sins, but it is for us to grow, and to over come our challenges, and to become who HE knows that we can become. WE are so special to have him. 

Sister Camille got baptized this week! She is so great. I know that as she continues in the gospel and studies her testimony will grow and she will do great things in her life!

Have a great week everyone! (: \

Love, Your sister Missionary, 

Sister Young
