The elders gave us these shirts, so we wore them today. Sister Wilde (Dallas Texas), Sister Schenk (Syracuse, UT), Sister Thedell (Missouri), & Sister Zollinger (New Mexico) Maayong aga! This week has been a whirlwind of emotions. On Monday morning I woke up with the song, "I'll go where you want me to go" stuck in my head. I didn't realize until later how fitting that would be for my entire week. All of our Visas have been delayed, besides my companion's visa. I've been temporarily reassigned to the Scottsdale, Arizona Mission. Sister Schenk and Elder McNiven are also going there, us Utahns have to stick together haha. It's been hard but I really am excited to finally get out and share with others what I know to be true, whether that's in the Philippines or Arizona. It's funny how sad I've been thinking about leaving the MTC. I'm going to miss my zone so much. There is no doubt in my mind we were all meant to be with each other. We were visited by another Apostle this week. This time It was Elder Rasband, and just like the two other Apostles that came to speak to us, he talked about Revelation. It honestly was such an amazing devotional. Sister Thedell told us that she had prayed in her heart to hear something about reassignments. Elder Rasband got up and the very first thing he said was that "Every mission is perfectly assigned."... "Whether it be a missionary, senior missions or reassigned missions, it is done through Revelation." He seemed to be staring right at us, and of course we all cried. Later that day Brother Taylor, our branch president, mentioned that in all the years that he has been at the MTC, he has never once heard someone mention reassignments. We all feel at peace we're just sad to be splitting up and going different ways so early on.

The Philippines seems within reach, and I will probably cry when I do get to go. I hope in 6 weeks we will all be able to meet up again on our flight over to the Philippines. I asked her about her Branch President, Brother Taylor; "I seriously love him, he is just one of those super special old guys." Also tell grandma thank you for the letter it was seriously the sweetest thing and made me smile when I needed it! Last time at the Provo temple together. My companion, Sister Wilde, is the only missionary in my zone to receive her Visa. Sister Wilde will be traveling with some of the Tagalogs that got Visas. The Philippine's have just started to up their Visa laws. The 3 of us will be serving in the Scottsdale, Arizona Mission till our Visa's come. Me, Elder McNiven, and Sister Schenk. The last time at the Provo Temple with the sisters in my zone. I found this story on Sister Zollinger's blog, and it made me smile! It is sooo Emily My companions and I have gotten so close I am so thankful for them and all of the fun times we have. Yesterday we were walking with the other sisters in our zone and Sister Adams ran ahead of us to try and do a heel click but her foot was really sweaty and it fell out of her shoe and she just fell. It was the most hilarious thing I've ever seen and we all just fell over laughing. I laughed so hard I peed a little! haha I don't know why I'm telling you that but it was too funny not to share. Everyone was looking at us like we were crazy. :) A few random weird pictures.Sister Thedell and I found these bandanas in a box so we wore them around and got the weirdest looks. I love Sister Thedell so much! She is seriously like a long lost sister. our teachersSister Reed Brother Shumway
