Wow! Great Week!

Love getting our emails from Spencer.  Change calls happen.  He got a new companion.  I know how much he loved his last companion so I am sure it will be an adjustment.  Him and Elder Kiutti did some amazing work together.  I guess their mission president saw the need for them to divide and conquer new adventures!  Enjoy!

Dear Family & Friends,

Well, this week was a crazy one. I really learned how to make a plan then sit back and not stress about it while it happens. 

We had the main transfer which went swimmingly. In the whole system of moving there was one elder alone at a train station. I was worried when I planned it but there was no way that I saw to get around it. So, I left it there. Then that morning we were at the train station picking up our trainers when I saw the missionary that was to be alone and another missionary. I asked this other missionary why he was here because he wasn't supposed to be there. He missed his train! The next train left at the same time as our alone elder! So because Heavenly Father knew the plan better He planned it out for me! No one was alone during the whole transfer! Yay! 

This week is mission conference. It will beon Friday at noon.  We will be picking up Elder and Sister Bednar and Kearon. This conference is the biggest logistical Bellagio style water show I will ever do in my life!  I can't even begin to explain what we've done!  There is a plan for every missionary to arrive at the chapel at a certain time. 

With the mission conference happening we have been spending tons of time getting the building ready and planning. It's going to be incredible and no one will have any idea what happened before. 

Well, now for the juicy stuff. I got a change call. The Elder Kiuttu and Tippetts dynasty has ended and it will now be the Elder Tippetts and Richards dynasty. Elder Richards is from the center of the Lords kingdom on earth, Salt Lake City!!!! Elder Kiuttu will be running the office with Elder Chapman. The couple that is in the office has to go home for medical reasons so they will be taking over there. 

It will be super exciting to get back to being just an AP. We can just blow our area up! 

A miracle is that we still have three people with baptismal dates. AND all three of them went to stake conference yesterday with Elder and Sister Kearon. 

At the stake conference we saw  the Kearons walking in so I stopped them to introduce our investigators to them. He looked at me and said, "Elder Tippetts! So good to see you!" He remembered my name! 

Well, I am definitely being taught how to deal with large amounts of stress. It's incredible because the gospel can help with all that. Somehow Jesus Christ experienced exactly what I am going through. I love that! 

Thanks so much for loving me! 

Have a great week!
