Sister Kari Warburton: Plot Twist

Hello! To jump right to it we had transfer calls (because we are getting a ton of reassigned missionaries) and we found out that Rotherwood is getting whitewashed! I will be going to Cumberland Gap & Sister Berry is going to the ward next door and is going to Kingsport. To say the least we. were. shocked. My new companion will be Sister Hunsaker and she was in my district last transfer so I already know her! Also fun fact: Cumberland Gap was in my first district so I am going back to my baby district 😊 I also will have served in 3/5 Sister areas they have in the Cumberland Stake. Taking it to a total of serving 10 months on that zone! Not complaining though! I love Cumberland zone ♡

We also found out on Sunday that one of the Elders in our mission was hit by a car and passed away. Please keep his family & his companion (who was a reassigned missionary) in your prayers. Him and his companion were suppose to have a baptism that day but the person didnt show up to the baptism. So they decided to bike to their house and ask them why they didn't show up. On the way a car hit the Elders bike and it was a hit and run. We had a mission wide phone call when our mission president told us the news. Which we also had a mission prayer. In that prayer President Pickett included the person who hit the Elder. He asked that we can all find forgiveness for them and that they would be comforted because the weight of that probably weighs heavy on them and they are probably very frightened. I started bawling. I never heard of a greater act of forgiveness. Our mission President prayed for forgiveness for the person who took away one of his missionaries. We can all be better at following President Picketts example and forgiving others. I know I can. The Elder who passed away died in the act of serving. He is a great example to all of us. He gave his life literally to the service. Elder Bergenson will be someone I will look up to for the rest of my life
