Say what now?

Many times in my mission I have that thought. "Say what now?" Most of the time it's when people are speaking Cantonese and I have NO idea what they are saying. But it has still happened a couple of times . But I don't think there has been a moment like last night. We got move calls last night. And after being up in the Boonies for 10 months, I am moving down to West Point as Sister Training Leader.

Just to be clear, if New York State was all one mission, then this move would be something like moving from mid state New York, to the Empire State Building and the surrounding block. (*disclaimer* I know nothing about New York State or NYC, but it would be something around there)

Wow.

I have very mixed emotions. 1/3 is very excited for this new adventure.  It 's the complete opposite of Sheung Shui, so that will be an adventure for sure. Another 1/3 of me is terrified of moving to the island after my almost 10 months out here in the boonies. I mean, one of my investigators is a famer for pete's sake! The last 1/3 of me is sad to leave Sheung Shui. I love the members here so much. Not to say anything about all of the people that I've taught. They have become a huge part of me. I think that when I get home, more than 1/2 of my Facebook willed be filled with posts in Chinese. Lanuguage study, right?
I have a game plan. I'm going to use this time to try and meet with every single person I have ever taught. Especially the formers who don't answer our calls. Hopefully they will miss me enough to meet with us again (!!!:)) and they will realize the difference that was in their lives when they met with the missionaries and kept commitments. And then I'm going to call all the members to tell them I'm leaving. Thursday morning I move, so these next three days will be the busiest of my mission.

I'll have SOO many pictures next week! Love you all!
