Because of Sister Wittwer

January 21, 2015

The biggest miracle of all happened today. Heavenly Father gave me Sister Wittwer to be my companion before she goes home. I love Sister Wittwer soooo much and I am excited to see what lays in store for us these next 6 weeks. She is going to be exactly what I need. 

That was a year ago today.
I couldn't have been more right when I wrote that entry. Those six weeks were so hard for me, trying to figure out what was going on in my head and trying to push past it all. I am so very grateful to have had Sister Wittwer by my side, pulling me along, letting me rest when I really couldn't do it anymore. She drove me all the way down to Birmingham to meet with the mission counselor and talk with Sister Hanks. Sister Wittwer let me cry and pour my heart out to her. I was able to voice, to some extent, how I was feeling because I knew she loved me and cared about how I was feeling. She always had her arrows out, and she was able to take care of me and all the people we came in contact with in Jasper, Alabama.

She taught me so much by her example and we had a lot of fun amidst the trial that I was facing. It's because of her that I stayed out for as long as I did. Because of her, I learned how to have deep meaningful talks with God when I prayed. I learned how to hear and follow the Spirit more closely. We pushed ourselves so hard that transfer and we really did see a lot of miracles. That will always be my favorite transfer, because of Sister Wittwer.
