Humpty Dumpty just needed Jesus

Hola Hola!!!!

Sorry about not getting to write yesterday. The Library was closed and we all 10 of us had to share the Computers at the church. No bueno! But we got permission to email today :) Guess who is getting transferred? ME! Not like I didn't see that one coming already. But anyways, President told me this week when we were with him on Tuesday that I "might" be leaving and I "might" be opening a new area for Spanish sisters and I "might" be training. Then Saturday night we were waiting for the call from the assistants to tell us our transfer instructions and President called. He told me that the assistants would kill him for telling me where I was going before transfers but he did anyways. I am going to Corinth Mississippi! Back to an English ward. Woot. I'm not quite sure why he wanted to tell me himself, but he seemed pretty adamant in making sure I knew he wasn't releasing me as Sister Training Leader for any other reason other than he needs to give other sisters opportunities to serve. So, to Mississippi I go tomorrow with my new trainee :) 

Huntsville is AMAZING! Our branch is just full of people who have the strongest testimonies I have ever heard. I feel so eternally blessed to have had this opportunity to serve here. They all will hold a special place in my heart forever. We went to the Lopez's last night for dinner (branch president) and we have a dinner tonight with the May's. When they found out I was leaving they said, "You will always have a place to stay when you return..." :( Suffice it to say, I am sad to leave. I love my companion. She is amazing. An amazing sister training leader and companion, and an amazing friend. I will miss all of the Spanish people too. And I LOVED working with all of the sisters! They are all so amazing and have made a great impact on my life. They are wonderful examples to me and have sincerely helped my testimony grow. I feel like as soon as I got this Sister training leader kind of figured out, they release me. That's usually how it works right ;) BUT! I will go where the Lord will send me :) He seems to know what he's doing. Everything has worked out thus far! 

So Sister Hazelgren and I both ended up taking that girl down on Tuesday to Birmingham. It was all very rushed. She didn't know she was leaving until Tuesday afternoon and had to pack everything. We went down to the mission home and ate at olive garden with mission president. Basically our goal was to make her feel like a million bucks. We wanted to make sure she knew that she had served an honorable mission no matter how long she had been out and it was just her time to go. Mom, you're right. There are so many missionaries out here, especially sisters, who have these feelings of not being good enough... heck! me included. I just wish I figured that out sooner so I could have helped the sisters more. All went well with her though. We got to sleep in the mission home in the Apostles bed room :) Hermana Hazelgren was pretty excited about that. 

The branch is exploding! We had 10 investigators at church on Sunday! They weren't all our investigators but still! That is phenomenal. I am so excited for this branch to start seeing more baptisms and get excited about missionary work again. It is hard for them because they are so few, but they have never lost their faith. I am inspired by them. It's about time we had some investigators at church too. With 6 missionaries here, we would expect that every Sunday. 

Thanks for the emails. Looks like the boys had fun at the game :) Alabama won just so ya'll know ;) Oh! and mom, I'm pretty sure that's a legit quote. I've heard it more than once on the mission. Pretty cool huh? :D Bray! You look so skinny and blonde! Seriously though. I just look fat and happy ;) Sounds like you're doing some great work there. Keep it up. I should be sending pictures soon. LOVE YOU MUCHO! Thanks for the prayers. Continue to pray for me! I definitely need the prayers. I will continue to pray for you.

Love, Hermana Masey Decker

P.S. Sister Hazelgren here!! (its me writing... typing) Just wanted to say hi and that I love your daughter like crazy. I've been taking really good care of her making sure she doesn't eat cereal for all three meals and letting her borrow some of my socks when the leprechaun in our apartment steals hers. We have one you know. Anyway, hope all is well, con mucho amor,

Hermana Hazelgren
