Hey there family,
So I am getting transferred:( S. Richins and I are really bummed about it, because everything is seeming to finally work. Courtney has a date for the 21sy of march, we are teaching the bishop's son's girlfriend and I really am liking the ward. But I guess that that is when the Lord sees that you need to change. Not only am I moving, but I will be senior comp. I don't know if i am ready for that, but who the Lord calls the Lord qualifies. I don't know where i will be going, but if you want to send something to me you can send it to the mission office and they will forward it to me.
It sounds like you all had a busy weekend. It would have been fun to be there, but you know I am here serving the Lord.
It is funny that you said something about pebble beach, because I was just telling S. Richins about us going up there and "celebrating " my birthday. :) Thanks for the oranges. Who really threw me off when I picked up the box. I had no idea that you were actually going to send some. They are good I was really surprised. I gave some to the elders in my district, they seemed excited to have some fresh fruit.
My mind has been every where this week, maybe because I knew that I was getting transferred. I don't know what is in store for me in the next few days but I know that if I just go in head first I will do alright. The other reason why I think I have been so spacey is I have been out for 9 months this week. It is a little scary that I am half way.
You wanted a spiritual message... Ok so this isn't spiritual, but take it how you want. I didn't choose to be republican, I just think. Cute I know. But seriously something spiritual. In our lesson with Courtney yesterday we had it over at a member's home- the Jackson's. S. Jackson made a comment about prayer. When she works in the kitchen she talks to herself going through the steps of what ever she is making. At times Bro. Jackson will walk by and ask "Are you talking to me?" She would say "No, just to myself." Are we doing that with our prayers? Are we just talking to ourselves or are we talking to our Father with whom we have a relationship with? Just food for thought.
Love you all,

Letter From 2.2.09
Hey there family,
I can't believe that it is February! This week has been a fast one. We are still teaching the family, but it has been frustrating that they will not come to church even when they promise to come. S.Richins thinks that we should keep trying, but just slow down a bit. We will have to see what happens.
You wanted to know more about Courtney, the girl form Newport, well she is amazing! She called us this week and asked how she could be baptized and how quick is the process. "This is definitely what I have been looking for"... "It just seems right"... "I feel so comfortable". She said everything that a missionary wants to hear form their investigator. She has been so prepared. She has set a date for March 21st. The family that introduced her to the church is in Virginia and she wants them there and for the husband to baptize her. She didn't know that he could do that and when we told her that he could she almost cried. I don't know if I will see her get baptized,because it would be the end of next transfer. But you never know what the Lord has in store for us all.
On January 23rd S. Richins and I started to pray for every member of our family. each person has their own day. I am glade to hear that there are some miracles that are happening.
We had zone conference this week in Augusta. Man did I need that meeting. This life is so totally up to us. If we want to see miracles, be happy, have success it is all up to us. We are here on this earth to work. Our work may be different than others but what we do with our time on earth is up to us. God will never force us to do anything. Because we are not force to do anything we need to make sure that we are taking responsibility for our actions.
Everything is going well. The work is moving forward and that is all that matters.
Love you all,
Sister Foy
