I feel pretty awkward right now because there is a sister standing right behind me waiting to use the computer and I'm still just typing away. It's hard when your family and friends are nicer than everyone else and send you emails. Just kidding it is the best though. Since I have no time I will do a quick recap of the week.
Monday: Our Dad and son recommitted to be baptized on October 11. Apparently the dad was nervous about the interview with the District Leader and so the District Leader told him all that he would ask him and he was then super excited to be baptized.
Tuesday: I got my new companion! I was really nervous but she is so cool. Her name is Sister Coltrin. She's from Michigan and she's been out almost as long as me. Our first day together we taught 4 lessons, committed a person to baptized and found two new investigators. Needless to say we are really excited to be companions.
Wednesday: It was my 17 month mark! It was also a great day! We saw the Dad and son again and taught the Plan of Salvation. I just love teaching the Plan of Salvation. It always answers so many questions. It's also the whole point of being here so people really like it.
Thursday: We had a very busy day! We saw so many people and were able to meet some people that we've been trying to meet with. We taught our 11 year old the plan of Salvation and she thought it was great. She also told me that I sometimes laugh like a goat and that it's weird I'm Canadian.
Friday: We had a lesson with this lady the Elders taught a year ago. We were kind of nervous but it turns out the lady we brought from the ward and her are friends! We had no idea we just thought we were inviting a random member. This investigator committed to come to church and read from the Book of Mormon all because her friend was there. When we came out of the lesson our bumper was on the ground. Turns out that someone had hit our car when we were in our lesson. So we've been driving around without a bumper all weekend.
Saturday: Saturday is always great because there is lots of time to work. We talked to lots of people. At the beginning of my mission I hated street contacting but now it's what a live for. We set up tons of return appointments with people as well.
Sunday: Sunday always consists of church at two wards, meetings, studies and eating. With all that we never have much time for work. We did a fireside with our 11 year old investigator. She is so cute! She was begging us to know our first names and wouldn't settle for the old "It's sister" trick. She guessed my name was Carmel, so I might be going by that when I get back. Ha ha.
Life is so great! I am so excited to just work, work, work this transfer."
