Sister Adrianna Wilson: Week 14: Ain't Got No Tears Left to Cry! (First Transfer)

From the subject you will probably tell I'm very emotional right now!

Transfer calls came last night and I'm leaving Okotoks. I'm so sad. If there's one thing I've learned from my mission, it's that it's okay to cry sometimes. I've only been in Okotoks three months but I love the people so much. I've made some wonderful friends and relationships. I feel like I wear my heart on my sleeve here! Just serving the people I've come to love them so easily. I'm moving the farthest south you can go in the mission, to Cardston.

I'm in a trio again as well, with Sister Ma'kae and Sister John. Sis Ma'Kae is from Hawaii and she is super cute. I heard she's a great missionary so I'm excited to learn things from her. Sis John is from a reservation in Utah. I've heard she's a little interesting. Something cool, before her mission she would literally hunt for her food. I'm sure she's awesome! Just nervous for a change.

Sister Nield is staying here and her new companion is coming tomorrow morning when I leave. We are both so sad to say goodbye. Sis Nield is a great friend of mine and I've learned so much from her. I will miss her so much!

I will be over 5 wards in Cardston and one is a Young Single Adult (YSA) Ward again. Cardston has a lot of Natives and we will be serving around reserves and stuff. Me and my companions are all brown and I know president loved putting that one together on the transfer boards. 😂 He LOVES the natives and always visits the reserves and goes on and on about our Lamanite blood. Ha ha ha. He's so funny. I'm excited for this new area and ready to work. Last night after the call I cried and told Sister Nield to leave the room while I bawled 😂

Yesterday Kelly took us out to lunch and stopped to take a picture as well cause we knew one of us was leaving. She cried saying goodbye and made us tear up too. We are having one more lunch in 30 minutes though to say our final goodbye and you know the tears are gonna be falling. The Osbergs called as well last night and asked to take me for sushi for supper tonight, (They know me so well). So, we are spending the day packing and saying goodbye to people.

This is hard for me but I know it is where the Lord needs me! I'm learning to trust him more and praying harder than ever right now. Who knows, maybe the weather will be a bit nicer there? I'm excited for this new place and new companions !! #triopower

Sending some prayers my way would be super appreciated. I love you guys. I love Okotoks and I love being a missionary despite the heartache of leaving some amazing people! I know I'll meet plenty more as well. I testify that this is HIS work and he STILL labors with us !! and I will go where he wants me to go.

Have a great week everyone and I'm excited to update you all next Wednesday.

Love,
Sister Wilson
