"God wants full custody of your life. Not just weekend visits!"

Hey Everyone!! I hope you have had a fantastic week! Things are going well out here in El Centro. My companion, Sister Munns, is getting transferred tomorrow so that is a big bummer! I'm going to miss that crazy lady. But I'm excited for some change and to switch things up! Half of my Celestial District is getting transferred too so that makes me suuuuper sad. We have all grown so close together!! But I know they will all do amazing things where ever the end up.

This week was actually super good. We finally made it out to the Imperial Valley College to do a booth in the commons area and that has been super fun. We have met quite a few people and even contacted a deaf guy yesterday! It has been cool to see a lot of our YSA out there too. We also had a lot of referrals this week and contacted some pretty solid people! We met this one guy who hasn't been to church in 40 years and his wife is not a member but is super interested in learning more. They took the missionary discussions like 10 years ago but had some addictions that they weren't quite ready to give up. But now those things aren't even a problem so we are super stoked about that! And this world is super small, because he even knows some 'Morgans' from Sanford! So that was super exciting and will be a really good foot in the door for us.

Besides that we had a lot of really good lessons with our Members and visited a lot of people so Sister Munns could say goodbye. Today we went out to the Calexico airport and visited our Recent Convert, Andrew, because he is a helicopter pilot for some crop dusting business. So we got to see him at the hanger and he gave us our first lesson in helicopters! It was super fun, I love that kid. We also had to be tourists a little bit and finally got pictures with the Mexican Border Fence! :)

Well, I just want to leave you all with my testimony of the truthfulness of this Gospel. God truly does work in mysterious ways, but He knows what's best for each and every single one of us. And usually His idea of what needs to happen is WAY better than our own. The knowledge of the Plan of Salvation also gives us so much guidance and direction in our lives which is such a blessing that we tend to take for granted! In Relief Society we were talking about all of the difficult things we deal with everyday and then we had to think about dealing with those things without the Gospel in our lives. I can't even imagine how SO many people do it! But that's why it is so important for us to go out and share it with all of those who don't have the blessing of this Church in their lives.

I love you all and you are always in my prayers! Thank you for all of your love and support!

xoxo Sister Morgan
