Friends and Family!!
Crazy that I have been gone for 6 months now!! Time goes by
so fast; I don't feel like I’ve been in Minnesota for that long! This
week has been bitter/sweet. saying goodbye to all my new friends in Austin
was so hard, it really felt like I was leaving home for the second time! I don't
think that I have cried as much as is did! and when I think about it it’s so
crazy because I’ve only known these people for 12 weeks and I feel like I have
known them for so long. It was super sad to say goodbye to Brother L and
Brother T!! after we left their apartment, Brother L sent us a text that said
that it was not going to be the same without me, but he knew that I was his
sister and that we were all part of "Father in Heaven’s " family..it
was so sweet!! He is so awesome and I’m sad that I will not be able to get to
be there for his baptism. Saying bye to sister Amis was also super
sad..we had become such great friends! She was so much fun to serve
with..she always kept me laughing, yet we had some spiritual moments that I will
never forget! And the Members!!! Holy Cow! They were the BEST! The Austin ward
truly has a feeling of family that I’ve never felt in any other ward! I can’t
wait to go back a visit after my mission, who would have thought that SPAM town
would be at the top of the list of places I want visit!! So, Monday and
Tuesday were full of goodbyes...we visited everyone and their dog! One funny
moment was that me and sister Amis were driving and out of nowhere we hear the
pop sound..she turned to me and said, What is this? a drive by shooting?!? we
looked out the dark windows and then we saw what had happened...in the corner
of the windshield has a HUGE splat of bird-crap!! we thought it was the funniest
thing ever!! No joke, it sounded like a gun! it was so loud....then we tried to
wash it off with the wipers but it was in that awkward spot that couldn't be
wiped away...we laughed and laughed and laugh...it might be one of those
moments that you had to be there for..but it was super funny! Maybe it
was funny cause all the rest of the moments were saying goodbye!
So on Wednesday was transfers and I got my new companion.
Her name is Sister Reber and we were in the same YSA ward in St George, so we
kinda a really knew each other! Such a huge blessing because we skipped the
hole super awkward first car ride home part of transfers. We get a long great
and I feel like I can just be my crazy self around her..we have had fun so far
and so that awesome. I think that we are going to have a great time working
together and I’m super excited to see what fun things are in store for
us!
Prior Lake is a nice area, about 40ish minutes outside the
twin cities..completely different then Austin...we were finding the first night
I got here and it was so weird for me to knock on Big houses and to talk to
white people again! I feel like I had just gotten used to teaching people who
didn't know much English and now I’m teaching super smart people! Funny how the
Lord sends us from one extreme to the other. One miracle that happened is that
on my first night in Prior lake we knocked on this super nice home and met an
older couple and talked with them for like 35 minutes..we shared the message of
the Restoration of the gospel with them and they said we could come back..and
so on Sunday evening we went back...and they totally let us in and we had
another great conversation with them..we invited them to church and the
presidents fireside next week, but they said that they couldn't come but they
would love to come another week..and they even are letting us come back on
Saturday! As we talked on Sunday night, I could totally see how Heavenly
Father had put us in their path to help them find truth. They are totally
searching for something more and it’s so clear to me! I know that sister Reber
and I were meant to meet them!
On Saturday we got to go with our ward to help the Feed my
starving children pack food for kids in other counties..it was so much fun! It
was great to serve with the members of my new ward and to get to know them in
that setting..they said that on Saturday they put together over 3 million
packages of food! Crazy!! I'm so grateful that I had the opportunity to help
and provide food for children that don't have it..it made me feel so blessed! I’m
truly one of the most lucky people in the world!! Heavenly Father has not only
blessed me with a great life, but also his gospel and the knowledge of him and
his son....Thanks for all the love and support yall continue to show me!
LOVE!
Sister Randi
