Change...my favorite thing

Okay so sarcasm may have been intended in that subject.

These past few days have been FULL of change!

First off mission conference:

We got to have a super fun mission conference at Old Town State Park last Saturday. We got to do lots of service, taking down fences, painting fences, raking leaves and such! But we also got to be apart of the Mormon Battalion Commemoration and be in the parade/ march around the park. (And oh yes we got to dress up in good ol trek clothes to look the part;) It was so fun to be apart of it because I remember going to the event as a kid and making biscuits in the fire and seeing people dressed up. 

The sad thing about mission conference was that it was the last mission conference with our mission leader and his wife, Elder and Sister Bramwell. They have served there 3 years and have been called to be mission leaders over service missions throughout the western United States, which they are going to be amazing at! The Bramwell are so loving and kind hearted to everyone, they have a gift of being able to help others find their way and draw nearer to the Savior, they are selfless, charitable, and are such amazing examples to me of Christlike leadership, I am so sad to see them go. But I am so grateful that we get to have Elder and Sister Dyer be our new mission leaders! Although I have only talked to them each briefly I can tell that they have big hearts and are hard workers and are going to be a huge blessing in this mission!

Another Change... this one is to one of my assignments. I am now going to be serving at old town state park, being a docent in the museums. Although this wasn't my first choice of places to serve, as I have gone to meetings, met other people who work there, and have been learning about the history I am starting to love being there and learning about the history (which is big because I hate history #missionblessings).

Last change that has happened (I think) We got a new bishopric in the Palomar YSA ward. I am sad to be bishop Wilson and his bishopric leave, but am super excited for this new bishopric with bishop Bonnet!!

With all of these exciting changes I am grateful that one thing never changes, and that is the Saviors love for me and you. While studying this weeks "Come Follow Me" chapters, this verse and what the handbook says about it really stuck out to me. That the Savior is always by our side and He is there to help us through all of our twists and turns through life. It says: "If something as permanent as a mountain can be flattened, then surely the Lord can help us straighten our own crooked paths (Luke 3:4-5)"
