100 days and Getting Transferred


I passed my 100 day mark of my mission this week! I started keeping track in the MTC, and have just continued. It was pretty exciting. I thought about making a 100 things project.

This week has been good! I'm learning a lot about how to be a missionary, and how to teach people, and how to be a good companion. It's crazy to me how much there is to learn when I have a singular focus. I'm excited for how much that means I'll get to learn throughout the eternities--if I can learn so much as a missionary and the basic doctrines of the church, how much is there to learn about everything else in this world, universe even, and the gospel! 

Family, thank you so much for all of the emails! Drew! Thank you for finally sending me such a comprehensive update! It's good to know you're still alive and doing well. And, being a lady killer! Jackson, I think you need to eat some more peanut butter sandwiches. I believe you can pass the 100 pound mark. :) Spanky! I miss your hugs! Keep hugging mom, and I'll just have to make for em when I get home. :) Haley, SEND ME THE VIDEO OF OPENING YOUR CALL! I do have headphones and I want to hear it.

News of the week: I am being transferred! I found out Wednesday that I would be transferred and that I'd be whitewashing, but I didn't know where to or who my companion would be. I found out this morning that I'm going to... Waco! Actually, the town is called Hewitt, and my companion will be Sister Mitchell. She trained one of my MTC companions, so I know who she is, but I don't know her yet. You will get to hear all about her soon though. My new address will be:

1700 Breezy Apt. #298
Waco, TX 76712

If you've sent anything this week, my companions here will have my address and they can forward them to me. 
Sister Karratti and I are really sad to be separating, but we know we'll be friends forever (Aw!) She plans to come visit you family, so don't be too surprised if  a stranger shows up at the end of May sometime. :)
Mom, I will try and remember to send you measurements next week. I think any color would  be good. I always like colorful skirts because I have a lot of neutral shirts. Or, I wouldn't mind a tan/brown skirt. I have black, gray, and navy, but no brown. Thanks mom!

We have a P-day activity today, so I'm sorry this is so short. I need to start planning out what to say to you guys so I can breeze through all of the important stuff. I'll work on it. Promise.
I LOVE YOU ALL!

Love,
Mal/Sister Goaslind
