Week 14

February 22, 2016

hello everybody!! 

so this week was amazing!!! 

GUESS WHAT?! remember the family we taught that moved? They have two little girls, and the wife is less active, the husband wasn't a member? they were the sweetest people ever and we love them so much. anyways. The wife texted us on Tuesday night and told us her husband has decided to get baptized!!! we were SO happy!!! they don't have a date yet, but he is going to, and I couldn't be more excited for them. 

Wednesday was amazing too! we met the girl that was a miracle referral last week. We met her at the church building and did a little church tour, and taught her in the chapel about the restoration. the scouts were doing an activity in the gym, so it was a little loud but that didn't stop the spirit from being there, and she excepted the invitation to be baptized! As of now she is on date to be baptized on April 2nd! we are so excited for her, she is so prepared. we meet with her again today, so I'll let you know how that goes next week :) 

Thursday we had a zone meeting all morning, and that went well! we had an appointment with our investigator from Tibet, and he told us he is moving this week :( WHY DOES EVERYONE MOVE? so we're going to call the missionaries where he is going and helping him get in contact with them. 

Saturday we did a service project in the morning, making blankets it give to hospitals, and that was so fun! we did it at the catholic church where we help our at the food bank twice a month. We also went to a convert baptism that day! we took our investigator from Tibet, and he really enjoyed it. he had never seen a baptism, and it helped him understand how it works, and be able to feel the spirit that is there! He says he wants to be baptized, but he wont until he sees God's face... soooo we're working with him on that. He is a character to say the least. Saturday night we got our transfer calls!!! aaaand, we're both staying!! yay!!!!!! its Sister Fetuli's last transfer and im SOOSOSO happy I get to stay with her. we have so much fun together and have so many inside jokes, it'd be so sad to have to say goodbye noe. BUT THERES A TWIST we're going to be training a new missionary! so thatll be very interesting. I am super nervous about training, I feel like only 40% of the time I know what im doing, but "fake it till you make it" right? We pick her up ay 6:30 tomorrow morning, then we'll get to work! Im so excited to meet her, I hope she can handle all our crazy. 

Tonight we're teaching our new referral, and the part member family we've been working with! I am so happy to be on a mission, I can feel myself loving it more and more everyday, and I feel so blessed to have this opportunity. 

I love you all, have an amazing week!!
