Surprise Transfer!

****NEW ADDRESS FOR SISTER RICKS****

28 Llanfair Road #4B  (Llanfair like llama)
Ardmore, PA 19003

Well this week was quite interesting with transfers. A huge surprise happened when I found out that I was being transferred to Liberia, Africa! It doesn't happen very often for sisters, but I am one of the lucky ones!

Okay....well MOSTLY that's what happened. I was actually transferred to West Philadelphia (born and raised...... name that t.v. show!) and it consists largely of Africans! If you know me well, you probably know that it has been my life dream to go to Africa. Well, Heavenly Father is so good to me and gave me the next best option while I'm on my mission. I feel like I'm in heaven working with these people. I don't know if ever had more fun at church being surrounded by such diversity!

I am SO excited for this new area. It was super hard to leave the people in Cape May, but I know that this is what Heavenly Father has planned for me at this time. And I feel so blessed! My companion is absolutely wonderful too, Sister Annabelle Hyatt. She only has a few transfers left and is a boss missionary. I have so much I can learn from her.

This week has been so fun just getting to know the people in my area. We cover a family ward and a YSA ward, so we have plenty of work to do. What a blessing!

I love being a missionary. I love the Lord and His work that I am blessed to be a part of. I love the people that I get to love. And I hope that each of you are taking advantage of the Lord's call to be member missionaries. Because soooooooooo many blessings come from it!

I love you all!

Love, Sister Ricks
