Merry Christmas and Happy Transfers!

I <3 Sister Gelwix

 I'll miss Jamie, even though I'll be happy to never be flashed again!

Hey y'all! We got news this morning that I am being transferred out of Opelousas. (We won't find out where I'm going until we drive to Baton Rouge tomorrow). It will be heartbreaking to say goodbye to all my family here in Opelousas. I love these warriors with all my heart and I'm sad to leave, but I know that wherever I am going there is work for me to do and Heavenly Father will give me the strength to do what he asks of me. I'm excited for this new chapter and I'm ready to go where the Lord wants me to go (even if I cry a good bit lol). 

I am so happy for Rebecca. She is getting baptized on Saturday and I have never met anyone so prepared for the gospel. She told us she wants to bring a bed to the church and just live there! Here is a sample of some of the things she has told us this week:
      "My life finally has happiness and meaning"
      "I can't wait for God to give me my mission and place in the church. I am ready. No more wasted time."
She has a strong testimony of this gospel and the Book of Mormon and she has already been doing missionary work! She has given copies of the Book of Mormon to her family members and is inviting them to come to church. This week her granddaughter Ny'asia, who we've been able to teach one lesson to, came and it was incredible! Opelousas had better get ready for Miss Rebecca because she is coming in with a bang. I love this lady and I'm really going to miss her!

MERRY CHRISTMAS Y'ALL! 

Love, 
Sister Thomas

Ny'asia, Rebecca's granddaughter at church!

Rebecca always gets silly and so so happy after church <3
