Wahoo!

Not a whole lot of time today, but life is going good here!  We are working with a few people who I really hope will stick with us and accept the full gospel of Jesus Christ.  [One of them] is a wonderful woman who is strong in the faith of the Lord and has great desire to learn, and the action to do it.  She has studied many different religions and continues to study the bible.  I wish I had studied growing up as much as she did when she was growing up!  But I'm learning so much out here and love teaching her and talking with her.  [We are also teaching] a great couple who love the Lord and talking about him.  We have visited them a couple of times and I hope that we can help them to see what the gospel can add to what they already have.  That's one of the trickiest things out here - helping people see that the gospel of Jesus Christ is to add to their knowledge and blessings that they already have and receive, not to take away or replace.

This last transfer has flown by the fastest for me yet!  I can't believe that next week is transfers!  That means that I will be writing on Tuesday again.  I didn't write yesterday because the libraries were closed here for Martin Luther King Jr. Day.  I don't know if they will keep sister Benjamin here or not...she's been here 4 months so it's up in the air!  We did find out today though, that we will be moving into a new apartment in our area during the 2nd or 3rd week of February!  I'm excited to move into our area, but it's also a little sad to think about not being with the other sisters.  Overall I think it bring a lot of blessings, though.  I'll let you know specifics as I get them, but that's what we know for now.

I love you all very much!  Please remember who you are and that you are loved.  Keep your heart soft, and take time to sincerely ponder.  Time is a gift.

May THE force be with you all!
