My Fifth transfer!

Alriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigggghhhhtyyy. So my name is Sister Barlow, I´m in Santa Gertrudes for my fifth transfer and I´m with Sister Roundy my third American Companion.
And yes, I am happy! :D haha I was with Sister Tirrell for 3 transfers, so it´s weird to be with someone else, but I´m excited to work with Sister Roundy. :)

I´ve been thinking about conference and how many times we are told that we can ask for mountains.
At first this thought terrified me.
What?? I can barely handle the hills of death here in Santa Gertrudes! How would I ever achieve a mountain??
But then I started thinking about all the stories I´ve heard of all the people who have climbed the biggest mountains in the world...
Question: why do we remember these stories? Answer: Because they were tragic! because they were adventurous! Because they did something that stood out to us!
All of those stories that I have stuffed up in my brain somewhere are there not because they made it gracefully up the mountain, but because the men and the women that made the climbs had a story to tell after.

I want to make it to the top of a mountain. Whether it be real or through the experiences God gives me.
What I´m praying for now is the stamina.

I love you all! Have a wonderful week!
