Bye-bye Woodlands

Welp, its happened... I'm being transferred! Onto my third area! Ahhh! I feel like I just got here! Time is flying by tooooo fast. Not to mention that in 7 months from today I will be going home. OH my gosh. I can't think about this. I am on my eighth transfer and I only have FIVE left! Yikes!!!! But all is well,  I still have 7 more months to work for the Lord :)

Thanksgiving was DELICIOUS. We ended up having SIX appointments! Ahhh! Luckily, the Lord heard our prayers, and we only had to eat at three of them. haha. We have TONS of leftovers though. Which obvs, I'm okay with :)

On friday, we had zone meeting and ended the night with a baptism for the other hermana's investigators. It was soooo good. The girl that was baptized is sooo amazing and has such an awesome conversion story. We were so excited for her and happy to support her! We invited ALL of our investigators and menos activos, but no one came and my heart seriously sunk. I was so sad because the Elders had their investigators there, and we just wished they could be there to feel of the super strong spirit but the ordinance came and went, and no one came. Then all of a sudden, the door opened and there came in Hugo and Edilma. Our golden couple! Ahhhhhhh! I had tears in my eyes because I was sooo happy. We committed them to be married two weeks ago, and since then hadn't heard back and we were just heartbroken. But on friday, they came and they loved it! It was the sweetest tender mercy. The Lord knew I needed it. They spoke with our new bishop who was called last sunday, and met so many strong members in the ward. It was really good, and we hope that will keep their testimony growing!

I am feeling so weird about leaving this area. I feel as though I just got here, yet I feel satisfied with my work. I know the Lord has prepared a new area for me, and a new companion. I'm excited to see what's next!

I love you all and feel your prayers everyday! I will let you know where I'm going next week!!! Yayyy!

Con amor,
Hermana Carbajal

p.s. 24 days till christmas!! Eeeeeeee

 Last week we were asked to sing in an inter-faith choir for an event about religious appreciation/ tolerance! It was so fun! We sang in this Lutheran church and everyone was so nice to us and ACTUALLY wanted to talk to us. haha It really was so neat though. The spirit was so strong, I might come back to Houston next thanksgiving just to come to it ;)
