three weeks ago we had transfers and so Sister Steadman and I packed and cleaned and packed some more haha and we met with our district and played some games one last time haha and said our goodbyes!! the gang was finally splitting up !! we said some goodbyes and sister Steadman and I had some good cries as well!! Steadman had the funniest quote wall going on in our apartment and the final and funniest quote that went up was
"I have no rizz"
"everything I know about you suggests otherwise"
thank you Steadman πŸ˜­πŸ˜­πŸ₯Ίshe is a bestie for life!! ya know!! 

the next day we packed up the car and were on our way to transfers!! got to see all the goats except sister morrel RIP but said some more hellos and goodbyes packed up the rogue and left with Sister Webb!! fun fact I fit all my clothes in my suitcases #amiracle!!
