Transferred!
Hey everyone, Hows it going? Things have been super crazy here! It has been transfer call week, AKA lots of stress not knowing whats going to happen week! haha, no i have had a feeling that I might be getting the boot here in Ithaca and and we heard though the grape vine that my companion's name had been brought up for training. We had interview with President on weds and I just confirmed my suspicions. I walked into the interview and he said, "how long have you been here in Ithaca Sister Cox?" I knew that he knew very well how long I had been here. I reluctenly told him 4 and half months and she said, "well, we normally don't leave people in there first areas that long,... any suggestions on where you want to go?" yeah, i knew i was getting the boot for sure! latter that day I found out that he basically committed my companion to be a trainer. So I knew that there was a very strong likelihood that I would be leaving Ithaca and it was hard for me because i didn't know for sure so i couldn't tell anyone. then to make things more stressful is that this week is was sake conference! it stinks that my last Sunday here was stake conference. some of the people that normally come to church were not there on Sunday because stake conference was in Owego. and also my companion has be sick so we stayed in all day Saturday. and I have been worried about getting to say goodbyes and getting pictures and packing! Oh yeah and this week Transfers are taking place on Tuesday, the normally take place on Wednesday but this week our Mission pres has a meeting out of town and they fly out on Tuesday so all transfers have to happen on Tuesday! so things have just been crazy! I am soooo sad to leave my area. We have so many good people that we are working with and I am not sure if i will ever see them again. that the sad part a lot of them are from China and are going back to China in less than a year :( Oh yeah, I am going to Watertown! it is the coldest place in the mission, yay.... can you sense the sarcasm. its right on the banks of one of the great lakes, lake Ontario, which is the reason it is so cold there, the lake effect. my companion just came from Watertown before she came here and she loved it. she has been telling me all about it, I know that it will be great and it is where the Lord wants me to be! the up side it that we have a car in Watertown so that will be nice. I am excited to experience and new place and new people, I know that the Lord has prepared people there to receive the gospel, and it will be wonderful there. I will miss Ithaca and the people here but I know its time to move on. I hope you all have a great week and I will write again next week and tell you all about Watertown! Love, Sister Cox
