Hey Sister Egbert: 12.8.14 Prancing through the Spruce Meadows!

Transfer week!! I had a hunch that I was going to be transferred this time around. I just sensed some change. But the first surprise came on Tuesday evening when we were told we would be purged out of Raymond!!! I was a little upset because I didn't want anyone to be forgotten! And I wanted to know they were in good hands! Then the next night, after we said all our goodbyes and got everyone's addresses so we could stay in touch. While we were stuffing our suitcases to the brim we got a phone call from President Nicholas. He asked me to be an STL. I asked if he was joking! haha. Not so! so I asked my good friend Sister Robson for advice while she was helping us pack and so forth and she just said That it's the Lord's work and the Lord's plan. And it's only with him we can accomplish what he wants done. So I took that with me and headed to Calgary Thursday morning! It was sad because Sister Keller and I were saying bye to people but it didn't click in my head I would have to say bye to her!! I'm glad we got the long transfer together! she is amazing! She taught me so much! Well on the way to Calgary I sat with my grandma sister heslop and I just got really excited for this new adventure! Once in Calgary I met my new companion sister Hassan!! She is like the brunette version of me!! Then I found our Sister Pippert and Sister Creech would live with us and lets just say since we have joined together there has been none stop singing and excitement. My life is so GREAT!!(: We have met all of the sister's in our zone too and boy I am so so pumped for this transfer!! I couldn't be happier!!(: The city life kind of stresses me out a bit when we go shopping and there are just so many people EVERY! But I will get used to that!(: Also we met our YSA ward yesterday! They are the BEST!!! I love just covering one ward so I can meet every single person! our ward misson leader is awesome so is bishop and his wife! And their house is amazing and artsy! oh my(: We taught a lesson to a girl Sabrina and her sister. They have so many questions! And they let us hold their pet pythons!!! ah! and we watched one eat a baby rabbit! It was so interesting! haha just swallowed that sucker whole! Well in the ward Sister pippert and creech replaced the elders so we have been half purging and doing a lot of planning and trying to figure out how to split the area and organizing and I can't wait to get working! This is so different from Raymond. And I definitely miss the small town feel and all of the amazing people and friends and everything BUT there is good everywhere and I am just so happy to be a missionary and to be surrounded by so many people everywhere I go! The church is so true! Jesus Christ is truly our Saviour. I want you to think of what you can give Christ this Christmas!(: I love you all!!(:
Love,
Sister Egbert
