Week 59: its like right when I think my mission just can't get any crazier BAM

hiiiiiiiiiii

I have a couple of crazy stories for you all. Lets just get started aye? 

so the craziness all started Thursday night, at 10:27, when I recieved a phone call from President May. He said, " Hi Hna Poyfair, how are you? oh thats good. Hey listen Hna, you know tomorrow we are going to have a Conference in Temuco with Elder Packer (from the 70) right? Yeah, well listen. In the morning, he wants to have a meeting with all of the leaders in the morning. And well, you were going to recieve your transfer Saturday, but I am calling you now to tell you that you are going to be a new Hermana Capacitadora (Sister Training Leader)!"

And so, yes, it's true. I am going to Lebu, to be an Hermana Cap over 2 zones, each zone with 4 hermanas. My companion is Hermana Guibarra, from Bolivia.

Well, that night, I was sort of freaking out a lot. I started to get a LITTLE discouraged, and I was feeling super inadequete. Like, my spanish isn't good enough, I don't feel spiritual enough, I haven't had baptisms in my mission so far, I CAN'T BE A LEADER RIGHT? 

but, I felt calm and I knew that's what God wanted.

So the next morning I arrived at this meeting, feeling a little stressed, but it was super great and I learned lots and I am excited to for this new calling. The conference was awesome too, Elder Packer talked lots about the Doctrine of Christ, and that if we really put our minds and hearts to it, we can have baptisms every single week of our mission. Wow. 

Well, anyways, after the Conference, one of the Asistants to the President came up to me and said, "Hermana Poyfair? Elder Packer wants to have an interview with you!"

Elder Packer. He's the son of Boyd K. Packer. He's FAMOUS. 

It was the most special experience of my mission so far. He started by asking me a few questions, and then asked if I had questions for him. I said, "how am I supposed to be
a leader when I haven't had a single baptism and I don't feel like I can do this?"

Elder Packer looked at me and said, "Hermana Poyfair, its really interesting, because maybe you haven't had the success that you deserve. But Hermana, you can be sure that God is happy with the work you have done and with the mission you have served so far, because he is trusting you with this sacred calling. You have been called because you are patient, loving, and humble, and you are going to help this missionaries have success on their missions. and, by doing so, you will have success on your mission."

I know that God is real and that his plan is SO PERFECT and that he really knows us better than we know ourselves. I am nervous and excited, but I know this calling is going to be a blessing and that I am going to learn so much. 

Thank you for all of your prayers and for your support. I wouldn't be here in Chile without your help.

This is God's work and its so perfect and I love it so much.

BRING IT ON.

I love you all!

love Hermana Poyfiar
