Well transfers have come and gone now... so i will fill you in on that. well it all started on sunday when i went to church. as i went to church i could feel that it would be my last. its very easy to tell, how? everything clicks. the sunday when everyone knows your name, thanks you for everything, you have a real conversation because you know everything about them and know what they really have interest in. the kids come up to you tell you they want to be just like you, they ask you for candy because by this point they know you give candy to everyone and they are banking on you giving them some. the love you feel for the members is overflowing and you feel a great bond. then comes the TRANSFERS. so i kind of was expecting a transfer call but it never came. sunday night we went back to the apartment and waited to get the call in reports. elder nelson and elder shurtluff were running a little late. when they came back they opened the door came in but it was wierd because they had a wierd little smile on their face. i then looked to see someone else come through the door. President daniels and the aps! pres. smiled saying good evening how are ya? i must of had the most suprised look on my face!! i couldnt imagine what it was that they wanted, i figured someone must have spread a pretty nasty rumor about me!! then pres. said can i talk to you in your room? i very hesitantly said yes... we went in and said do you know why im here? i said not really.. he said im here to take you back to the mission home.. your going to be my new assitant!!!! all i could say is just wow im way excited! so then he said okay pack your stuff and lets get you to the mission home asap. i said okay and then kind of just went to resume the night and then he said no, we are taking you back right now, as in pack your stuff we leave in 20 minutes. WHAT??!! so i just threw all my stuff in a buch of bags and boxes and we left. just dropped everything and got in the car.
so now im in the mission home serving as the junior assistant!!!! i so so excited. its going to be a lot of work and a lot of pressure but i feel like i can really help a lot of the missionaries. there are some big changes that need to happen and im ready to play a big part in it!!!!! since i have got here there have been some things that were really suprising. one is that pretty much a lot of what we do is computer work. like all they use is excel and make a ton ton of phone calls. im really excited to be here... but im going to need everyones prayers so make sure and pray extra hard. my new companion is elder senba!! he has been the ap for 3 transfers and he was my zone leader for 3 so i know him really well. we are really busy, im way excited we get to go pick up the new missionaries and i went to efy with one of them 3 years ago!! so i cant wait to meet him, then we have the big transfer day were everyone comes in and goes to their new areas so im excited for that to but a little nervous because it all depends on us...
well love you all
talk to you next week
love elder lalwer

I SAW THAT COMING!!! wow! He was able to guide and inspire many missionaries and now he has the opportunity, blessing and responsibility to inspire the WHOLE mission! These newxt couple of months are going to be have a strong impact in his life, he will go back to the experiences ahead when he'll be called in other leadership positions in the Church...what a blessing it is to work next to an inspired mission president and to learn even closer how inspiration works, how those promptings come and you know you are being an instruments in the Lord's Hands!
Both Daniel (my husband) and I had that blessing at the end of our mission, the opportunity to assist the Mission President and I can tell you Elder Lawler (hopefully he'll somehow read this stuff I am writing), that the Lord will bless you with an increased charity towards those missionaries. Your desire will be for them to succeed, it will be an overwehelming desire...some of the companioships will be in each of your prayers and you will continue to see amazing miracles!
how blessed your life is and is going to be!!!!
we love you very much!!!
