Hello World,
I had my
first transfer this week!!!! Exciting stuff!! Sister Harrision and I will both
be staying in the Warm Springs Ward (I love this ward so much, the members here
all hold a special place in my heart, i really didn’t want to leave)! BUT we
will now also be covering another ward, the Las Palmas Ward! We are excited!!
WE will be double transferring in AGAIN because we are replacing the Elders who
were covering that ward, so we are starting fresh with this ward too! Just like
we did when we came into the Warm Springs ward! It will be a fun challenge! It’s
really nice though because at least we will be in the same building for church,
and only 1 of our 5 hours of church overlap (7 hours if you include the other
meetings)!! Sundays are going to be full and amazing!! Funny story though, we
saw the Bishop of the Las Palmas ward last week (before we found out that we
would be switching out the Elders) and this is how the conversation went.....
"Hey Sisters! What ward are you in?"
"We are
in the Warm Springs ward!"
"They
have Sister Missionaries too?!? What did we do wrong?! Why don’t we have
Sisters?!"
Little did he
know that the very next week his wish would be granted :) He gets us!
This week has
been full of all sorts of wonderful things!! For family night we went over to
Lanee and Malu's house and we watched the hour long version of the restoration
DVD, It was amazing!! We got to talk all about the saints and their experiences,
and I got to tell them all about Nauvoo! They want to go and visit so bad! So I
told them when I get home we will have to make a special trip!!
We were out
walking around when we got a Text from our investigator David! Sister Harrison
started reading it out loud... He said "I have decided I want to get baptized"
We read that and started jumping up and down!!! Then sister Harrision said wait
there’s more..."But I don’t want to have to go to any one church. Can I do
that in the Mormon church?" So we asked if we could come by and talk with
him. We went over the next day with two brothers from the ward that had a
chance to explain to him the unbroken line of priesthood authority! And we were
able to have a powerful lesson about the purpose of baptism and that gift of
the Holy Ghost that comes with it! It was a great lesson, he is
progressing!
We had a
lesson with a part member family in our ward who's sons had just gotten baptized
right before we came into the ward, and they invited one of their friends to
come over, His name is Franko! He is 11, and he is amazing! We watched the 20
min, restoration DVD and he loved it, after the movie he said "I want to
get baptized today!" We said you have to come to church first! so he said
"okay if I come to church on Sunday will you baptize me there?!" He
is so fun!! We will hopefully be meeting his parents this week! He came to
church on Sunday with the Welch boys (his friends), and Sister Tenny (the mom
of the welch boys) got permission from his parents so he and his twin brother
who came to church with him could have lessons with us!! We are so excited! They
are amazing!!
Well I’m out
of time again! But I have to remember to write about our new investigator
Moises next time!! He is amazing too!! I love the work, it is sooooo amazing!!!
And here is a
picture of most of my zone from this last transfer!! This was the day we found
out about our "Transfer Doctrine" as we call it here, because we get
a paper that has our fate on it and we have to come pick it up! Super
fun!
Love ya!
Sister Loveless!!
