Josie's Journey's: "Anything that opposes Christ or His doctrine will disrupt our joy." Russell M Nelson

I’m in the third area of my mission, and since i have 2 changes here which is when everyone usually leaves this area, i said goodbye to everyone! the members, bishop, and recent converts, and our investigators, and started packing!! wow!! i have a lot of stuff!! so i packed up, and was finishing up last night at about 11:30 when the elders called us to tell us the changes- i am staying here as sister leader, and my comp goes -she doesn’t have anything packed, and this is her first change here, and she goes home in 6 weeks, so everyone thought she was going to finish here, and we’ll see if i end my mission here.

I had divisions with Hermana Mcbee, and a lizard was in the house and i was like no problem, we'll just guide it out with the broom, well turns out it ran into the curtains, and sister Mcbee started screaming, and i was dying and we were trying to get it out of the house, and after like 30 minutes of chasing it around the room, and throwing around beds, and our desks and things, we got locked out of the house trying to take it out!! and we didn’t have the phone or keys -then after the whole incident, i told Hermana Mcbee the last time one was in the house i just picked it up and took it outside, and she freaked out and was like, "why didn’t you just do that an hour ago?”

So we had mission counsel on Friday, and it was super awesome!! and we talked about the importance of being one with God, and then that led into an incredibly short weekend of General conference!! i was sad when it was over, it was SOOOOO amazing!! i love our leaders, and i testify that they are called of God!!! they answered many of my questions!! i testify that this church is true, and add my testimony to that of president Monson that this is the great plan of happiness!!! we can find it in no other place!! "where else could we go!?" it is true!! i love this church!! i love being a missionary!!

So i will get a north American companion from Utah- Hermana Cardenas!! i hope that we can all continue studying and learning from our great leaders!! read their talks, study them, learn from then, and then PRACTIQUELO!!!! (DO IT!!)

i love you all so much, and want to thank you all for the love and support!! you are the best!! love ya!!
