So over the course of last week I had thought of a few good subject lines for this email: "Ode to Hermana Haws," and "Prospectors in Waterville." Both were very appropriate and had great stories, but due to certain events last night it has been changed to the not-so-boring term TRANSFERS!!! Yes, we got calls last night. We knew we would be separated and most likely Sister Haws would be leaving. Turns out we're both leaving and we're both sweeping into new areas. That means that President opened a new area that didn't have missionaries before and so Sister Haws is going to Warden with Sister Ziegler. Sweeping means that two completely new missionaries are coming in that have no knowledge of the area. I'm going up to Leavenworth with a Sister Donaldson. She has just finished her training and has one less transfer than me. That means that I will be senior companion. AGHHHH!!!! I think overwhelmed might be the best word to describe the situation. Leavenworth is a quaint little mountain town that is mostly touristy. They have one ward and if there is any Spanish we have to interpret for them because there isn't a Spanish Branch. Most the roads don't really have names so there isn't an exact map. They don't have a place for us a live yet so it could be exciting. Sister Donaldson feels pretty comfortable with Spanish so that is a plus. We do have a car so that will be nice. It's going to be hard leaving Wenatchee though. I have grown to love these members so much. It will be hard to leave them, but I know it is all part of the plan. It's going to be amazing going from working with 2 wards and a branch to a ward only. This is going to be amazing.

We've done what we were sent here to do. I really feel like we were here to build up and strengthen the wards and their members. We may not have had a ton of investigators, but I know we have helped some of the less-actives. I have been able to feel our Heavenly Father's love for so many people. It really is quite an amazing experience. I love this Gospel so much! I know that everything that happens to us is for a reason. Everything has purpose and is to help us learn and grow. I'm going to miss the people here, but I know I'm supposed to go to Leavenworth.

Sorry, this is short, but there is much we have to do today. You'll have to remind me to write about Waterville though. That was a funny story.

I love you all! Please write. 820 S. Pines Rd. Ste. 101, Spokane Valley, WA 99206 These next few weeks could be rather challenging so any letters or anything would be greatly appreciated.

Love
Sister Probst
