I DIDNT SLEEP AT ALL THIS WEEK :-)

I DIDNT SURVIVE TRANSFERS YOU GUYS!!!!!!!!!! WHY DOES MY PRESIDENT LIKE TO MAKE ME SWITCH AREA EVERY 12 WEEKS? IT'S PRETTY SUCKY.

So yeah, IM GOING TO URUGUAIANA!!! Im actually REALLY excited because Ive already gone on exchanges in that area and its awesome, AND I got called to be Sister Training Leader, which I guess means that Heavenly Father thinks Ive got this whole mission thing figured out enough to help the other sisters figure out this mission thing too!!!!! WOOHOO ITS GONNA BE AWESOME! Getting to do exchanges and hang out with more sisters so I can help them :)

IMPORTANT THING:

So yeah, in 3 hours im on a bus going to santa maria for a meeting tomorrow morning, and then tomorrow at 8 o'clock at night ill have arrived in my new area!

SO, as the last week before a transfer always goes, I spent a stupid amount of time just crying my face off because I hate saying goodbye to people. I GOT SO ATTACHED TO THIS PLACE, I HATE IT. yesterday after church was the literal WORST because I had to say bye to our convert and one of my favorite people on the planet, Nelson, and we BOTH balled our eyes out and then it ruined my face for all the pictures after. (and i accidentally (intentioally) hugged him and didnt regret it) 

And then last night we were at our investigator Isac and Glaucia's house and we were about to start teaching and then someone knocked at the door and in waltzed all my favorite members and best friends carrying plates of food and drink and THEY THREW ME A FREAKING SURPRISE FAREWELL PARTY. and then they all went around saying stupid nice things about me and all that I did for them and I just sat there crying like a dumb head and I hated (loved) it.

SO yeah that was my week in a nutshell..............

OKAY SPIRITUAL THOUGHT TIME:

so these past few weeks everyone and their mother has just been watching the olympics right?

okay so we were teaching Nelson about the Plan of Salvation again, and at the end we asked him why he things it is important to know this plan, and what kind of motivation it gives us. and his response WAS SO PERFECT IT SHOULD BE IN A CONFERENCE TALK.

He said "you know in the olympics when the team or person that wins goes to their family and their coaches and the crowd goes crazy, and every applauds and cheers and the winner feels so loved? I think that if we follow this plan, that'll happen with us and Heavenly Father and our family when we get to the Celestial Kingdom"

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YOU GUYS IT IS SO TRUE!!!!!!!!!!! Its so simple. If we follow this plan, we'll get the Gold. and God will be so proud of us, and all our family and friends on the other side of the veil with cheer with us and run with us until we finish and until we win. But the difference is that, MORE THAN ONE PERSON CAN GET THE GOLD! WE CAN ALL WIN!

ugh this gospel is so perfect I literally cant even.

I know that Christ lives, and loves us, and he is ROOTING FOR US!!!

I love being a missionary

Love, Sister Lipps
