Hello, hello!
So, today this email is going to
be super short because things have gotten all switched up and changed
around here. I was supposed to go down on the transfer train
tomorrow
morning to Charleston for the transfer meeting and then go to the
mission home and meetings from there... But, because of the big storm I
guess that is coming
on thursday I think, they have moved the transfer meeting to
friday,
so all of us missionaries going home will miss it. They want to get us few to the mission home before it hits though, so they called us late
yesterday afternoon and said that they are getting all of us today (
Wednesday).
I am going to have to meet at the church at 2 then a member couple will
take me over to Parkersburg, WV where I will meet up with an elder
going home and the AP's and then will ride down with them to Charleston
today. Then I guess we will just hang out or something til we leave
friday. Sister Searle is having to meet the Buckhannon sisters at the church and then will go down with them until transfers
friday
afternoon. So, all of our plans for today were shot for saying goodbye
and stuff. We were running around all last night to try and get things
done and have been going all day today as well. I couldn't sleep last
night either because I had so much on my mind about life here, what I
had to do, and just trying to figure everything out. I am so exhausted
but that's ok. What a way to end my mission...with a whirlwind. I love
it though!! They moved p-day to
tomorrow
as well but I don't think I will be able to get one so I just had to
write one last one. I only have a couple minutes left so I just want to
leave my testimony with you.
I know that God, our loving Heavenly Father, and His son Jesus
Christ live!!! They love us so much and only want the best for us! They
are in every detail of our lives and know exactly what we need to grow
and become better, and will place those things in our paths to help us.
We are given trials and challenges for a reason- to improve and overcome
our faults and weaknesses. I know that as I have been out here, it
seems that all of my faults and weaknesses have come out at different
times and it's been so hard, but I have been able to refine them because
of the experiences that I have gone through. I testify that Heavenly
Father is completely aware of us and never ever leaves us alone!! He
loves us with an infinite love and will guide us through the Holy Ghost
to safer and higher paths. I know that as we turn to Him in humble and
earnest prayer, seeking righteous desires and help, He will answer our
prayers!!! Every prayer that we say is heard and answered, but in His
own time and way. It won't always be in the time and way that we are
wanting things but it is the time and way that will help us grow the
most. I testify that the Book of Mormon is true and that it is another
testament of Jesus Christ! There is no other book with so much power and
purity in it and that will change your life as much as this book. As
I've had the opportunity to study and learn from it and apply it into my
life I have gained such a stronger testimony of my Savior, who He is,
and that this gospel in its fulness is true. I love the Book of Mormon
so much and am soooo grateful for it! I encourage everyone to read from
it with a sincere desire to learn and then ask Heavenly Father if it's
true because He knows what is true and right. I know that we have the
priesthood power of God on the earth today and that this power is real! I
have seen miracles because of it!! I know without a doubt that The
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the Lord's true church on
the earth today!!! It is amazing what we can learn and how we can
change because of this church! I am so incredibly grateful to be a
member of this church. I have absolutely loved being a missionary for
these 18 months and have learned so many things that I will never
forget. This experience has truly changed my life and I will be forever
grateful for it because the experiences that I have been a part of here
can never be replaced!! I love being a missionary and representing my
Savior because I have truly felt His love for His children out here and I
love it! This work is true and we all need to be a part of it!!
Love, Sister Jenna Higgins
