Sister Hallie Mae Kapp: Surprise!

Hello everyone some crazy and amazing things happened this week so let's get into it.

On Tuesday a family in our ward had a special dinner to celebrate my 9 months as a missionary and Sister Lee's 6 months as a missionary. It was so fun and they made us shakes!

On Friday Elder Rasband came and spoke to our mission and the Washington DC South mission and it was so amazing! I can't describe the spirit in that room. He really is called of God! So many prayers were answered in that meeting. Plus I saw Sister Hendrix and Sister Esplin!

These 2 ladies in our ward invited us to dinner with this inactive women in our ward and it was awesome. This women and her husband are really struggling and we were able to share a clip from President Eyring's talk "O Remember, Remember" (go listen to it!) And we talked about looking for God's hand in everyday and giving thanks. She shared such a powerful testimony of how this has helped her through her trials.

Sunday was full of miracles. We had an unexpected friend come to church and set up a lesson with him this week. Later while planning our week at the library this random guy came up to us and asked for a scripture and we have a lesson set up with him this week. Then we visited a former and he was interested and we had an awesome lesson with him yesterday and he was super accepting of what we taught him. God is good!

Yesterday we got our transfer news and I'm...staying! This will be my 4th transfer in White Oak which is crazy! I'll spend almost a third of my mission here. Clearly God needs me here for a reason and I'm excited to find that out. Sister Lee is leaving though 😢. They are also blue washing the hermanas in our district so we'll be the only sisters. Lots of unexpected things but it will be good.

We then had a fun "last supper" for those leaving in our district last night which was lots of fun.

For pday today Sister Lee is mostly packing and the I get my new companion tomorrow!

Spiritual thought: Elder Rasband shared so many good things at his devotional but this one I think will apply to you all as well. He said, "May we go, may we say, may we be who he wants us to be."

All we need to do every day is try to be who God wants us to be. All it takes is a little extra thought in our words and actions.

Love you all! Happy Thanksgiving!
