Having had two companions in the last five weeks, I didn't realize how fast time was flying by. The next transfer (when missionaries can be moved to new areas) is approaching next week. While I have only ever been in Rockledge my whole mission and am due to be moved around, I also have a companion who hasn't been here long and therefore hasn't met all the members. For these reasons I really don't know if I will be moved this coming week and I don't mind all that much. I would miss Rockledge greatly because of all the wonderful people we are teaching and the members who are helping us to do so, but the opportunity to make new friends and connections is pretty cool as well. (Also, all the members here know my object lessons so if go to a new area I can finally use them again, haha). I also need practice packing my bags should I go to England eventually!
One real cool thing I had the opportunity to gain experience about was priesthood blessings. There have been a few opportunities to give them so far, but I was asked to give one not long ago where I truly realized that they work based on the faith of the person receiving them. I felt pretty nervous at first when I was asked to give one on the spot (one reason it is important to ALWAYS be worthy). As I gave the blessing though, I felt the Spirit incredibly strongly. I haven't cried on the mission yet, but I must be getting soft because there have been a dozen instances where it was close and this was one of them!
Staying busy,
