3rd Transfer: Week 6 ~ I'll Go Where You Want Me To Go

We were still in Utah and I wasn't able to chat with her. I can "hear" the tone of this email. I can tell this was hard for her but she knew this would happen. That's the way the Lord works with her. Their relationship is one she knows very well:). 

Last Zone Meeting on Montego Bay
Hey Mom,

So I have some news. We got our transfer calls and me and Sister Bailey will be transferred to Nassau, Bahamas this Thursday. We will be staying in Kingston on Wednesday and will leave Thursday morning. Me and Sister Bailey were sooo very sad but we were happy that we will be staying together for another 6 months at least! haha! Nassau is a little island where people from Africa and Haiti live so I am excited to go and experience it. They also eat cat there which is disgusting. Hopefully I won't have any dinner appointments where they serve me cat. I hear they have a pretty big (church) building which I am excited about. There will only be the 4 of us (sisters) there. My new companion is Sister Woolf and I am so excited because we both are from Georgia and she is a lot of fun. The 4 of us will live together but of course different companions. It will be one heck of an experience just us missionaries on a little island. Well.. time to convert the whole island then. I was really sad to know I am leaving my country, Jamaica, but I know the Lord needs me in Nassau at this time. So it is a privilege. Everyone has been telling us congratulations (which I wasn't excited to go to Nassau so the congrats didn't help) but I have realized it is a privilege to go to these islands. So it will be an experience for sure. But no worries I will get excited. 

Anyway, I am so happy that you all got my box!!! Woo Hoo!! I am so glad you all loved everything I got you! Those suckers is the one thing that I have to buy so I can eat it while driving. They are the best! But I love you all and am so happy that you are all safe and well!!

In a previous email (June 30th) she said this:

"Pres will send me wherever he is prompted to send me.. I swear. Heavenly Father really does have a sense of humor. I know I will get sent to the Bahamas since that is the only island I do not want to go to. You watch. HAHA! I swear he likes to put me in situations to get a laugh."

Boy, was she right!:)
