Yep, this week is
transfers and.......... my companion, Sister Ormsby, is getting
transferred. I am sad she is leaving, I have definitely learned a lot
from her, and she is such a good missionary! She is getting transferred
to the Parkway area in Milwaukee and she will be in a trio. I know she is
going to do great there, and I'm sure my new companion will be great too!
Well, we taught Virginia
the Word of Wisdom this week. She has been doing really well at reading
the Book of Mormon pretty regularly now. I hope she gets to the point
where she is reading 10 minutes everyday! We found out that she drinks a
tablespoon of coffee everyday. I thought that was kind of silly.
She used to drink a lot of coffee and then she cut down everything but that 1
tablespoon, haha. I hope she can make the decision to quit
altogether. I think from our lesson she will try it out this week.
We had an amazing lesson
with Sister Brummond this week! She is a less active member of the
branch. Our branch mission leader came with us to the last lesson and
told her that the branch needs her and that she should come back. It was
a very bold lesson and so was a lesson this week but she is sincerely thinking
about coming back. It is hard though. She has a testimony of
the gospel, she loves it and misses it but has had some things in her life that
she is just having a hard time overcoming. I am praying for her. Although
we didn't have any investigators at church this week we did have two less
active members come, Sister Hily, and Sister Basty! The members make such
a big difference in that.
Also, we got a new
investigator this week. His name is George and he used to be next door
neighbors with the Warren's. Bro. and Sis. Warren came with
us and we talked to him a little bit about the Book of Mormon. Last we
heard he has been reading! He has 2 kids, a little girl and a boy.
Bro. and Sis. Warren are branch missionaries and are just so great! The
branch is truly wonderful here.
We also had zone
training this week and our mission president has asked us each to pray daily
for a baptism in each area of the mission between July and October General
conference! Some of the areas have not had baptisms for over a year but
it is so exciting to be a part of this great work, where miracles truly do
happen everyday! Well, I have to go now but I love you all and hope that this
week goes well! :D The church is breathtakingly true!
