Can you say Edinburgh?

2/25/13
al;skdjf;lkasdjf;oiea;hglkjdifeh asldkjfa;lie akfjei Hello family!!!!!!!  I have so much to tell you and I don't even know where to start, so I just kind of freaked out a bit. haha  First of all...how are you?  I'm doing well!
I'll just start with moves call, which we got on Saturday night (weird).  President called and he's like "Hello sister Rindlisbacher, are you ready for a new assignment??"  "um...yes" :) Then he's like, "It's a tough one" "okay...I'm ready..."  haha anyway!  I'm leaving Montrose :( But I'm going to Edinburgh!!!  Super exciting!  We're going to be opening a new area called Edinburgh West (I guess it's part of the assistants area or something...yikes)!!!!!!  And I get to train again...even better...I get to train two new sisters! hahaha All I ask is that you pray for us this week. :)  I'm pretty nervous, but I'm excited for the challenge and to be so close to the mission home.  It'll be weird to be in a big city, if my calculations are correct there will be as many missionaries in my new ward as there were active memebers in my Greenock branch.  Help? haha just kidding...it's gonna be a new experience! 
Anyway, our dear Danni is getting baptized on Wednesday!!  wooooooo!  Problem: moves day is wednesday.  So, I was planning on asking president if I could stay for the baptism, haha, but when I was talking to one of the assistants he told me they'd figure something out so I could for sure stay for the baptism.  I didn't even have to ask..how nice!!  I'm so relieved.  Another bit of exciting news: I'll be going down to Edinburgh on Thursday (the new missionaries will arrive on Saturday) and I will meet sister Millward (also training in Dublin!!) and we'll start getting my area set up before the bairns arrive.  I almost died with joy! 

As I said Danni is getting baptized on Wednesday.  Her interview went great!  She was SUPER DUPER nervous before she went in with Elder Clarke.  As she walked away she asked, "Are you sure you're from God?" haha.  Elder Clarke was talking to us after and just said, "The Lord must love her so much."  She has had to deal with way too much.  And we're just so proud of her for doing her best and trying and changing.  Even if change is slow, change is change.  We were walking with her after the interview and she was telling us how she was going to start saving to buy a new coat, but she said, "First I'm gonna pay God."  (tithing) :)  Ah.  We just love her.  Just pray that everything will go well, that she'll have the strength to keep going and dealing with her mum.  Thank you!

I'm excited to go to Edinburgh, but I'm really sad to leave here.  I've really come to love it.  And I love the people in Montrose.  I told a few people at church that I was going.  On of my favorite little boys, Thomas, started crying and just gave me a hug and wouldn't let go.  His mom was trying to get him in the car after church, but he kept running back to 1. give me a hug 2. make sure he was saying my name right :)  I'm really grateful I got to serve here, even with all the challenges and trials. 
I don't have too much time, but I love you!  Thank you for all you do for me and all the prayers.  I'll talk to you next week from EDINBURGH.  :)


love,

Sister Rindlisbacher
