Well, it is certainly
getting chilly here! There was a storm like last week or the beginning of
this week that just missed us but we still got some snow and the temperature is
dropping. Funny enough, even though I'm not excited for the cold, the
first snow is always really exciting! It was fun, not fun to drive in
though. And it makes everything look really beautiful.
It's transfers this
week, and I'm getting transferred to Sheboygan!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It has been
a great 3 transfers with Sister Cosgrove and I am going to miss her a lot and
all of the wonderful people here that I've been blessed to be able to work
with! I am staying in the same zone though so I will still get to see
her! My trainer, Sister Brandley, was the one that opened Sheboygan after
she trained me, and I've heard that it has really picked up there! My
companion is going to be Sister Osmond. I have already met her and she is
super nice!
It was definitely a good
last week in Fond du Lac. We met with Nicky, a referral from our
bishop. She needed help moving so we moved her in and unpacked her
kitchen for her. This week we went back and asked her if she was
interested in learning more about our church. She said yes!!!!!!
Not only did she say yes but she also said that she didn't have a church to go
to and was looking for one!!! She is so awesome!!!!!!!!! I'm glad I
can stay in contact with Sister Cosgrove to find out what happens from
there.
We also had another
member give us another referral, a girl, he wanted us to go to lunch
with. So we called her and set up the appointment. We also asked
her if she would like to learn more and she also said yes!!! It was so
exciting!
We had the ward talent
show this week!!! Angel and her whole family, who are not members,
came!!!!!! That was a huge step for them! Sister Cosgrove and I
taught the restoration through singing and building the restoration tower while
doing the cup song. We have been singing it as our opening song in
companionship study for a while now. We actually got it down pretty
fast. It was so fun! We have been using it to teach the
restoration. It is fun and entertaining and helps people to feel the
spirit! :D It was so fun and we didn't mess up, haha.
We performed it in our lesson to Cora this week too. It was such an awesome lesson! The whole family came in and absolutely loved it! At the end they begged us to do it again! The 2 year old was clapping so fast and so hard, you could barely see her hands. There was a very special spirit about the whole family being gathered around in harmony with each other all focussed on the lesson, and talking about Jesus Christ. The dad, has never came in for any of our lesson but he came in and I know that he noticed what that did for his family. He said that to us, and even offered to say the closing prayer. What a miracle! I hope he continues to see how it brings his family together.

Everyone was so nice to
me this weekend! They found out I was getting transferred and one of the
families that we ate with, the Whittun family, made me a cake that said on it
"we will miss you Sister Prestwich." It was so sweet!!!!
I just love all of the people here!
Well, gotta go!
love you! The church is superly true!
