Transfers #8

Dear Family,
I can't believe transfers are happening again. It is probably the most stressful night in a missionary's lifetime waiting for that answer phone [phone message]. Anyway, make your guesses!  ****spoiler alert*****

With Clare
Italian Pizza Night!






I hate packing!

with Sister Morley
Elder Tsai and I have sock buddies


Saying good bye to Ashleigh
Sister M and I syncing our serenity
With Trish (a.k.a. Sister Bishop)
& Harriet

South Shields & Gateshead sisters
on Metro one last time



I'm going to Harrogate! (a.k.a. the poshest place in the mission...from what I've heard). There's an American Army base there too so there are probably going to be a lot of Americans which will be fun. I'm serving with Sister Something from Somewhere. I don't know how to write her name, and I'm not sure where she's from...I think she's Hungarian? I couldn't really tell ya, but my mind is all a blur anyway. I couldn't sleep last night. I leave tomorrow, but boy do I ever hate packing. I'm pretty excited for the new adventure, at the same time, South Shields is like my home, and the people here are like my family. It will be a very bittersweet departure. It is insane that I have only had two companions so far and now my third is also an ESL (English Second-Language). Sadly, I now have to try and learn Italian on my own, and maybe even try and learn bits of another language to help in language study. I'm not really sure though. We will see.
     It sounds like things are going splendidly back in pleasant little Magrath. Happy Birthday to Kaiah! Whoo!
     And, I'm not sure what time I'll be Skyping seeing as how I'm moving tomorrow, but I will let you know during this week sometime. And to answer Dad's question, England has Mother's Day in March (I think ...can't remember...it seems so long ago haha).
     I don't really know what to say, I'm in shock, haha. Today for P-day we are enjoying one last day in Newcastle together as sisters in the North Zones and then we are probably going to watch Monster's University at Emma's (recent convert). I love that movie, but I am so tired I will probably take a nap. Yep, that's what I'll do.
     Tal is so good and I'm glad you were able to Skype her. Please keep in touch with her seeing as how I can't really (as easily). I will miss her so much along with Ashleigh, the other members, Sisters Nigido, Monroe and Peck.
     This week we were teaching people about the great importance of John 3:16. It is a well-known verse by all but if we really think about how wonderful it is that God loves us, we gain greater appreciation and gratitude for what He has given us and the plan that He made for us. What if God didn't love us? But he does and it is phenomenal. Ponder that.
I love you all,
Keep the Faith!
Sister Lybbert

p.s. thanks Jonny for the letter! It's funny because I was thinking about writing you but I didn't have your recent address. I didn't know where you were. I'm so glad you are in the Mill Creek Ward! tell them hello for me. I will try to reply but in not soon, I am sorry. is Bishop Shipley still the Bishop? Ah, man, I love my Mill Creek family. I bet so much has changed since I left though.
