I guess you can guess the subject of this email! If you're all
familiar with the phrase "fake it till you make it" you'll love this one:
"Faith it till you make it."
-Elder Lambson
I am unsure if someone else in the world has said this, I don't
doubt it, but Elder Lambson and I were talking and upon quoting this, I
about died from how amazing I thought it is. :) As trials come, as they
always will, or while you find yourself in a ditch, just have a little
more faith and hope. :) Then you'll be ok! :)
This week is transfer week! I will be going down to the big city of
Tallahassee, FL. My new companion will be Elder Moore, Elder Lambsons
trainer. From what I have heard about him he sounds like he will be a
blast! Elder Lambson will be training here in Cairo. :)
We received a call from mission president on Saturday asking Elder
Lambson if he would accept the assignment to train. He also told me I
was leaving and my heart just about dropped. The past few weeks I have
grown such a love for the people in Cairo even though its pretty small.
All weekend I found myself thinking back on all the memories that I had
had with those whom I'm serving with and I read this scripture:
And now I, Moroni, bid farewell unto the Gentiles, yea, and also unto my brethren whom I love, until we shall meet before the judgment-seat of Christ, where all men shall know that my garments are not spotted with your blood. -Ether 12:38
Though the application of this scripture could be taken otherwise, I
couldn't help but think of Moroni's charitable words as he bid
farewell. Though I am grateful that one day I will be able to see all
of these people again. :)
Well, That was is for this wee.k :) I'm excited to continue to hear
what great stuff Elder Lambson does with his new Elder. He has been one
of my favorite companions thus far, so I'm gonna miss him! :)
I love you all so much and cant wait to see you next week!
Elder Stonely
The biggest heart in cairo :)
