4th Transfers? Here already?! Brooke Gertsch Update

4th TRANSFER? HERE ALREADY?!  

HELLO! HELLO! HELLO! 


This has felt like the longest week of my life! Not just because P-day is a day late, but because TRANSFERS ARE TOMORROW!  But before I get to that, I will just give a little rundown of this week!



^ Breakfast with our good friends, Linda and Zoltan


^ Zsofi is one of our investigators.  We love her!

We had a lot of fun.  We ordered pizza for the first time, met with so many amazing people and my companion and I just were having the hardest time trying to emotionally prepare ourselves for when we would have to get split up.  It was quite a rough week.  BUT I am so lucky to have such amazing people keeping me so strong.  Whether it be my friends here in the mission, or support from back home, every time I would freak out about transfers, I always calmed down and reassured myself that everything was going to be okay.  And that everything is going to happen for a reason.  One of the biggest lessons I have already learned (well, I am continuing to learn) on my mission is to TRUST GOD.  He knows what He is doing.  And he knows each and every one of us, down to the smallest detail.  I think everyone knows this about me already, but I hate change.  I hate the unknown.  It drives me crazy and it is so scary to me. So I have had lots of moments where I just have to take a stop back, take a deep breath, and let my fear go.  LOTS of moments.  

But after we got our call this morning, I felt nothing but peace and could feel Heavenly Father saying, “See, I told you so!  I know you.  No need to fear.”  


^ Walking home from church on a beautiful sunny day!

Which brings me to my transfer call!  The call is… that I will be staying in Duna (Dunaújváros) another transfer! With my companion, Brantley Nővér!  The best part is….That we were both called to be Trainers and we are going to be training a new missionary… together!!    We will travel to Budapest tomorrow to go meet and pick up our new companion who just arrived from the MTC!!  

We are so happy. So pumped and excited for this next transfer. So many prayers were answered and I trust Heavenly Father and President Szabadkai and I am going to try my best to make them proud and work as hard as I can!  Eeeek!!!  I get to be a “mom” here in the mission and cannot tell you enough how excited I am!!!


^ Fun map we found while tracting!

Much more to come next week!

Sok Szeretettel,


Gertsch Nővér
