Transfers and Promptings

This week was a crazy one! Transfer week has so many logistical things that we have to manage! We had a big change Monday night that we had to put into the system and change a few things on transportation. We had a busy day Tuesday and then Wednesday was the day before transfers! It was a normal day except we got a returning missionary that went home and was coming back out. We had a lesson with Gina that night with him and he was trying to take over our lesson and I got a little frustrated with that! But it is all good we got through it. Gina has been going through a lot. Her dad had surgery this week and her mom has some issues so Gina had to take care of them. It has been a lot for her, so we decided Sunday Morning Before church that we would go to their house and make pancakes and eat with them. We thought this would help them get to church, but sadly it did not. We are doing all that we can to support her through this rough trial that she is going through.

Thursday was transfer day. That was a lot of fun because I get to drive a truck and trailer around! It's funny last transfer I had never done that, and they just handed me the keys and pretty much said figure it out. I think I have the hang of backing it up. My dad would be so proud of me hahaha! The cool thing is that I had a bad feeling about it, I just couldn't get it off my mind to check the hitch and see if we connected it right. Luckily I listened to that prompting because we didn't have it on all the way. It took us a minute to get it on, but we got it on right and headed onto the freeway. I am grateful that I was warned of that, because on the freeway there are a lot of bumps where the trailer probably would have fallen off and could have done a lot of damage.

We got everyone to their places they need to go, and were left with the departing missionaries. It was hard to say goodbye to them because a few of them were my homies! It's all good because I will see them here in a few weeks at my homecoming talk! Thursday night we stayed up till 1:00 a.m. just talking and had to get up at 4 a.m. to get ready to take them to the airport. The saying that sleep is for the weak is true! haha - Just kidding, I was tired all day and I slept like a baby the next night!

Saturday was our first full day back to missionary work and it felt really nice! Then on Sunday we had a lesson with one of our investigators named Lester! He understood the Plan of Salvation after he read the pamphlet! He realizes he needs to repent now and begin to live the gospel of Jesus Christ! When doctrine is understood it motivates us to act! I love this gospel and all that it teaches!! This Saturday we merge into the new mission! That is when life gets crazy!! I am looking forward to seeing everyone here in a few weeks!!

Love you guys!!
