Transfer 5 Here I Come!

Whoa... 4 Transfers DONE! This is pretty crazy! BUT here was the past weeks happenings with a LOT of lessons...
 
1. We had a lesson with Sister Goeble about tithing. When we showed her a tithing slip and asked her what it meant to her she said, "The ninety dollars in my wallet" We discussed the blessings of tithing and how she has been missing them in her life. She went and got a tithing envelope as soon as the lesson was over. She wasn't at church yesterday BUT hopefully she will be next week.
2. We went to a less actives home, Brother Briones. He was very welcoming when we knocked even his wife. He told us how he now goes to the Assembly of God church and hasn't been to a "Mormon" church in 30 years. He told us about how him and his son have talks about the Bible but he doesn't go to church. We asked if we could maybe all have a discussion together sometime. He went and got his son and we had a lesson from the Bible and we got to emphasis the Saviors earthly ministry. We even set up another lesson!
3. We had another lesson with Brother Michael Ferrel who likes to go by Seth Tran. We call him Brother Tran but get confused because he refers to himself as Michael. We committed him to baptism and told him it would have to be under his legal name. So we will see what happens at his next lesson. Either way, he is really progressing. He is coming to church, reading and praying more now. It is exciting to see him changing. Finding the joy from the Gospel that I am SO thankful for.
4. Our lesson that we have every other week with Sister Hotinger was great! We followed a tangent that turned out AMAZING about the temple. When I first got her we asked her to talk to Bishop about a temple recommend and at the lesson she brought up going to the Bishop so she could go to the temple and do work for her family. The spirit was so strong and was felt by ALL of us! It was a busy but AWESOME week!
5. We did serve for a member which was well me... cleaning because my companion was hurting BUT it was a nice distresses hahah
6. I got 3 Dodger shirts this week... we helped a investigator clean out her dresser adn i got to inherate a few t-shirts... LVOED it! And Mormon Night at Dodger Stadium is coming up... Maybe our new mission president will let us go.
7. Transfer calls were on Saturday... we got one. I am staying here in Charter Oak but with Sister Eggleston. I am the Senior companion and SUPER scared but it will be great!
8. In my studies this week... 2 Nephi 22:2, 5. God is my salvation. I am SOO happy and lucky to get to share this with everyone and in verse 5 it says, "sing unto the Lord.." I cant sing BUT I LOVE reading the hymns and getting to feel the reality of the words. It was a GREAT week that has really made me grow and think about some things in my life.
 
LOVE YOU ALL!!
