A week full of transfers!

This week has been full of transfers. There were some last minute changes that we to make to finish our planning. This made for a busy week.

You don't realize how much planning goes into transfers until you are apart of it. For example we have to make sure there are enough vans going from point to point to pick up the missionaries. We have to put all of this on paper. Then we have to update everything on the computer. I am so grateful for the computer skills I learned in high school. If I didn't have these, it would have taken a lot longer for me to do some of these things.

Then Transfer day happened and it went really smoothly. Once we got everyone put in the correct place and shipped off back to their areas, we were with the missionaries that were going home. Two of my good mission buddies went home this transfer, but it was fun to spend their last day in the mission field with them.

It was really weird because one of the missionaries I came out with went home this transfer for football. We were talking about how we were sleeping on the same beds as we were the night we came into the mission. We then had to wake up at 3:30 in the morning the next day and take them to the airport and get them on their airplane. I am so glad that transfer week is over because it takes us away from the missionary work.

Along with transfers we have had a really good week. One of our investigators Sari Crowder is getting baptized this upcoming Sunday. We have had her interview and she is ready. She is from a part member family that is getting back active.

Then another one of our investigators, Chase, was supposed to get baptized this upcoming Saturday. But when he asked his mom about it, she was pretty against it. So he is waiting right now. It was really tough to have that happen. He was so close, plus his Uncle and Grandma tried to anti him.

But there is a cool story about that. We set a goal one day to find 2 new investigators. We tracted and of course it was the last door that we found one new investigator. After that lesson we went over to Chase's to help his mom with her garden. We finished that and asked if we could have a lesson with them. We sat down and just asked if they had any concerns about what we were teaching. Then Chase told us his Uncle told him that true Christians believe only in the Bible. Then before we could respond, his Mom had our back and told him that that wasn't true. We then taught her and gave her a Book of Mormon, and invited her to read. She then invited us to come over on Mother's Day to eat with them. We did that and read a few scriptures in Alma 7 with her. The Spirit was super strong and at the end she was like, what do you want me to read by the time you come by next. The Spirit can and will soften hearts. It is amazing to see it. I miss you and hope to hear from y'all!!
