transferred out of this area. We went around and had quite a few sad
goodbyes to say. Elder Wilcox is asking a million questions about
getting transferred and going to a new area, because this is the first
time that he has been transferred. While it's going to be very sad to
leave this area, we both look forward to the adventures that are ahead
of us in our next areas.
We had interviews with our mission president this past week. President
Griffin is a wonderful mission president. I'm so grateful for the fact
that he'll be my mission president for my whole mission. In my
interview, we talked a lot about my area. We discussed the pros and
cons of taking both Elder Wilcox and myself out of the area. The
conclusion is evident in the fact that we're both leaving.
The thing that I'll always be glad for that I gained from this area is,
the love of the Book of Mormon that it inspired. This area presented
many trials and challenges. It tested my patience and my perseverance.
The Book of Mormon has helped me work through these. It has been my
support to lean on. It has brought me peace through the mentally hard
times. It's brought the Spirit greater into my life. I've learned how
to better recognize, understand, and follow the promptings that I
receive from the Holy Ghost. I'll be forever thankful for these
lessons and experiences.
President Griffin called this morning and told me where I'm going. I'm
going to the Prescott Valley Stake. I'm going to be taking over as the
lead zone leader. This zone covers the Prescott Valley and Prescott
Stakes. So I'll be in the same zone that I'm in now, just a different
stake. My companion will be Elder Hedrick. We came out together, so
that'll be fun! We are going to be in the Stoneridge and Dewey Wards.
I'm excited for that adventure! (Fun fact: My first companion, Elder
Burbank, started out in these wards that I'm going to.)
I love you all and hope all is great!
-Elder Toph Tribe
