Dear Family and friends,
Heyyy there!! It's finally feeling like december here in Rio Linda, and the weather has gotten a bit chilly ...well more like really chillly haha but hey! It's Christmas, that's how it should be. As usual, I'm freezing lol I'm always cold hahaha so that's still the same but I am doing well.
As of today, I am no longer a "greenie" missionary. I am finished with my training, which means that I am getting a new companion. Yep, you heard me right! Sister Housley and I have been together 2 transfers (3 months) and she herself has been in Rio Linda for about 7 months, so now it's her time to go to another area which is in Chico! She is going to be a Sister Training Leader- I got trained by the BEST! - and my new companion is coming from Chico, so really we're just changing spots which is super nice. My new companion is Sister Paul, and She is a STL too, so I'll be going on lots of exchanges....Yay! I'm stoked. I love meeting new people.
Sister Housley is getting excited and I know I learned so much from her on how to be a fantastic missionary, and she is going to go be an amazing missionary up there! It's kind of a bittersweet moment- but we know that we'll see each other again and we'll keep in contact so I'm not at all worried about losing communication with her. My heart is full of gratitude and I know I have been blessed by the lord with an amazing trainer, my dear Sister Housley, and she radiates the love of Christ to everyone. I am taking over Rio Linda with Sister Paul now, and off we go! It's going to be an adventure and I'm excited to see where everything goes in the area, and find more of Christ's people. I love this. With the Lords help, Sister Paul and I are going to on Rio Linda and we will see more miracles happen.
This week was transfers week, so it was bit busy but we were able to witness miracles in the area. We saw a lot of Less Actives, picked up 2 new investigators( Mikenna and Sydnee-both know each other lol crazy how that works! ) and we were able to be instruments in God's hands by having really good street contacts with those we came in contact with and seeing those people we usually see, and finding more people to teach. This week we were very blessed.
How are your efforts in missionary work going? Are you able to witness a miracle everyday? YOU CAN pray to have one, and the lord will give you an opportunity to do so- just listen to the promptings of the Holy Ghost. Remember to read your scriptures and pray everyday.
Remember who you and who you represent, most importantly remember how much God loves you and how much we can all have peace in the world we live in. I love you all so much and pray for you often. Keep going. Keep that faith firm in Christ, and he will help you! He loves you.
Oh, and I heard it snowed down there in Texas??? I hope your enjoying the cold weather :) Send me some pictures lol I've heard ya'll got a lot( Yes, I said ya'll lol ) Happy Holidays!
I'll keep you posted on what's going on up here in Cali.
Until next time,
Sister Matchett :)
