To my loved ones,
hahaha that kinda sounds like I am writing a goodbye letter. I promise that it is not! Just thought that I could change things up a bit :)
Well, this week is a total blur. I know that we saw Graham (Mission leaders son's best friend) and we also picked up Robin again this week. Other than finding out about transfers, I can't remember a single thing. All well. I can elaborate on the lessons that I do remember :)
So, we taught Graham twice this week. It was amazing! When we teach him, he asks questions, and really wants to learn more. We taught the Plan of Salvation with a visual (getting that is a story in and of itself). It was amazing!! We taught him the lesson, and he was so interested. He said that it all made sense! He loved learning about it! It was amazing!! :) He taught us the Plan of Salvation, and when we saw him, again, we told us that he taught it to his mom!! How amazing is that! Graham is just the perfect investigator!! We love teaching him! He is 19, and just loves to learn. It is amazing to watch him go from not believing in any God, to be turning to our Heavenly Father for strength and comfort. It is fantastic! Monday we taught the Plan of Salvation, and we asked him when the best time would be to see him again and he said everyday! It was funny :) We ended up seeing him on Wednesday. When we saw him, we taught him the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We were planning on an hour lesson, and it ended up being 2 hours! it was so great though! Graham totally understands! The entire time we were teaching him, we were waiting for him to tell us that he wants to be baptized. He didn't say it, but we think that he is going to tell us that he wants to be today!! It is amazing! Graham is just perfect!! :)
We also were able to pick up Robin again. Robin is the sister that we met at the beginning of my mission. We taught her all the lessons, and she was having a problem with smoking. Well, she dropped us about a month ago, and then Sister Young and Sister Mucke went and saw her to deliver a letter on Thursday. She told us to come back on Friday, so we did. We aren't sure what to do with her though. We are going to try and figure out what it is she really needs. It will be good though. Things are going to be great :)
Okay. So, funny story with the visual. We had lost my Plan of Salvation Visual, and I was planning on making me a visual on P-day. Well, we didn't have a lot of time for that. We were going to copy Sister Mucke's visual, and just use that for the lesson, well... we forgot to get that from her... Which meant that we went to our dinner appointment, then rushed to our lesson. Well, we had to run home, and attempt to create a visual. We had called the sisters and they were in Redlands, with the visual that we were going to copy. It was a mess. We rushed home, and started drawing and cutting out the visual. it was a mess! I was in the car with scissors while Sister Young was drawing cutting out these tiny visuals. It was crazy. Well, we were almost there, and the sisters called us. They said that the thing they were doing was done in Redlands, and that they were headed back to Highland and would meet us at the Skoy's. That was such a relief. The sisters ended up making it from Redlands to Highland in 5 mins. We then taught an amazing lesson. Afterwards, we found my plan of salvation visual. Guess where it was?? Your guessed it, in the trunk of our car. It was crazy.
So, I just thought of another funny story. On Thursday, Sister Young and Sister Mucke had a training. It meant that me and Sister Anderson were together for the day :) Which was awesome :) I love her :) anyways, We had a day full of appointments, and we did our studies and our training's, and we headed out the door at 10:45 for our 11:00 appointment. Well, we had an issue. We couldn't find the keys to the car... The other sisters had used the keys to go and get something from the car that they needed, and then they were going to bring them back to us. Well, we couldn't remember if they had brought them to us or not. We ended up trying to call them, and they were in their meeting, so, no answer. We called the mission office, to have someone in the office go and ask the sisters if they had the keys. Well, they did. I guess when Elder Houser (senior missionary in office who just left) went to ask the sisters, they reached down into their purse, and the keys were there. They ended up just getting up in the middle of the training, and booking it down he hallways and to the car. They then sped to our apartment, where we were waiting on the road to get the keys. It was a little stressful. But is was good :) Added some excitement to our day :) haha
Those were some great experiences though. I had a blast :) It was perfect :)
Best thing that I ate this week... hmm.. Well, we were going to have dinner at a members home, but the Sister in the home called us, and told us that she wasn't going to be there. Which meant that we weren't going to have dinner. Well, at least that was the case until she told us to go by her house, and pick up lettuce wraps from her husband. It was great! They tasted like P.F. Chang's lettuce wraps, but homemade! We loved them :)
Well, I am not sure what else to tell you. I am being transferred to Yuciapa, and I will be living in a members home. I guess that they are pretty well off, and that they have a lot of animals on a farm, and that we will be taking care of them. My companion is Sister Ferry. I don't know a lot about her. It is all going to be great though :) It is time for me to have new experiences :) Sister Young is going to be staying in the same ward. :)
I love you all so much! Have a great week! You are all in my prayers!!
