We got transfer calls yesterday! I was really feeling like I would
be staying here; and I've never been wrong with my transfer predictions
before...
I was kind of right!
I will still be serving in this Ceres 3rd Branch but I will not be
covering the area of Hughson anymore, but I will be in Ceres now. Hna Pimentel
is staying here and I will be companions with Hna Gundersen. I'm so happy to
stay in this branch but I am so so so sad that I won't get to see the people in
this area anymore. Especially the Ortiz; they better come to church so that I
can still see them!
So this past week was a little discouraging just because there
were times when we found investigators who seemed really solid but then they
just suddenly weren't interested anymore.
But we did find some really awesome people named Sofia and Adam.
Sofia's parents were baptized last year, so that's a really good connection
with the Church! We were teaching them the restoration and at the end Sofia
just started crying all of a sudden and she asked us to pray for her family. It
was really cool to share the gospel with them, and I hope they will
progress!
Another quick miracle that happened yesterday was when we were
visiting a less-active family and a family member of theirs named Alesandra
was visiting and she listened in as we read 1 Nephi 19:9, and she was asking questions
about what we do as missionaries and we were able to talk to her about the Book
of Mormon and how it goes hand in hand with the Bible. It was really cool to be
able to talk to her!
I totally was watching Mexico vs Uruguay yesterday during dinner and those last two goals were beautiful. Also, Chicharito's attempt to score made me laugh since Papi says all his goals are ugly, haha
I don't know what else to write today haha but man, things are
just never the same after transfers so I pray I'll be able to adjust to the
changes!
I love you, I love you, I love you!!
