this is it.

Hello all,

So ya.. ha, believe it or not, my visa has officially arrived!!! I
found out on Friday and it seems like since then time has not even
been real. I leave next Monday at who knows what time. I think
President has all the travel info but they are waiting for my passport
and visa to be shipped to the mission office. Oh my goOdness! All I
can even think about is that in 7 days it will be winter... everything
else about my future is a blur and everything right now is... i dont
know.. exciting? stressful? sad? I feel like this past week or two I
we have actually gotten to know the area, the members, our wonderful
investigator Rudy... Everything will be fine but literally, I feel
like the minute I just forgot about my visa and was convinced that it
would never come... it did. They have been talking about getting
elders in this area because there has been sisters for over 10 years
now or something but we found out today that Sister Ferguson will end
up staying. Gosh, we were so relieved. I have faith that we are
converting people to the gospel and not us but it still just
absolutely terrifies me.... what if the next missionaries just...
forget about people or something? Ha, this fear has also caused us to
put extra focus into our area book which ended up being a good thing
because the zone leaders called today and asked us to give a training
on it in the zone "meeting" on Wednesday. thrilling.

Gosh gosh gosh, everything else here is awesome. And, because I know
y'all are wondering, the kitty is doing great. We gave it to a member
to watch over and they have nursed her to health and she is just the
cutest thing I ever did see. There was a ward party at their place on
Saturday and they let me hold her the whole time. It is real true
love.

I'm having a hard time even thinking of what else to say. That has
been my crazy week and this next one will be just as chaotic as I
attempt once again to pack my life into 2 suitcases and get it to be
under 50 lbs. hahahaha :)

I love you all so much and love hearing from you each week. Stay
strong and be bold in sharing the wonderful message of this gospel.
Nothing brings more joy.

p.s. the attached picture is the post visa celebration. ...actually I
didnt even tell her (the member we live with) that I had my visa yet
so really we were just eating ice cream. :)
