TRANSFERS!

Okay..I'm just so excited and nervous and have so much to tell you I can't even really think.  This week...and the past few days have been really good, and have been really interesting!  I'll start out with transfers...we got moves call last night!  This is crazy...Sister Millward and I are BOTH leaving Greenock.  They're actually closing the area.  So our hearts hurt a little bit, because we love this place so much, but the assistants assured us that they'll take care of Matthew (who should be baptized hopefully this Sunday).  And I just pray that when missionaries come back that they will find Mark, and he will be prepared to take the next step.  ANYWAY!  I'll start with Sister Millward, cause I'm soooo excited for her.  She is going to Ireland!  And not just Ireland, but Limerick!!  My birthplace. :)  I'm secretly (well, pretty openly ha) jealous.  BUT!  I will be going to Montrose!  It's on the east coast (I think) of Scotland!  woo!  And what's even crazier is that I'll be white washing again (third area-third white wash.  Which is probably why I feel like I'm losing my hair ha), but just wait it gets better...I get to train again.  what?!  White wash training in Montrose.  Family.  Friends.  Anyone who reads this email...please pray for me.  haha Heaven knows I need it.  I'm actually pretty excited, but super nervous as well.  I guess it's  HUGE area, and they had a car until last week...one of the senior couples' cars was stolen, so they got the Montrose car.. I got so close to a car! haha So now we're just trying to deep clean/get everything out of the flat, pack, oh and do missionary work. :)  Ok.  Everybody take a couple of deep breaths, and we'll move on to the rest of the email. ;)

GENERAL CONFERENCE:  I loved it so so much.  We got to see all of the sessions except Sunday afternoon.  We just go to the stake center to watch it.  Wasn't it amazing? Everybody asked me what I thought about the mission ages changing for elders and sisters...um....I am still in shock!!!  I still don't really know what to think about it.  My mind is blown.  There are a bunch of 18 year old elders in our mission already (from Enlgand), so that part wasn't TOO shocking, the weird thing to me is that Ben is a lot closer to 18 then he is to 19.  crazy!  But exciting.  And sisters going at 19..that is what I can't wrap my head around.  After conference everybody asked us if we were mad we didn't get that chance....I don't think I am.  I'm really grateful that I am where I am at the right moment.  The only thing is we're gonna be the old lady missionaries.  sweet.  haha

I absolutely loved all of the talks.  I especially loved everything about missionaries.  It really made me realize how grateful I am to be one.  Even with the ups and downs and feeling like you can't always do it...I'm pretty sure this can never end.  (being a missionary) :)

Elder Holland's talk was amazing.  "Sister Rindlisbacher, do you love me more than all of this?  Then why are we back here?  Did I not touch your life more deeply than this?"  I think that's what he said. :)
