Transfer Week!!

I have officially been here for one transfer! Woot! My companion and I are staying here (thank goodness). She kept teasing me and saying that I might have to train someone even though I haven't finished training myself. :P I found out though that one of the sisters in my MTC district IS training someone now! Oh my goodness that would be so stressful!😵

We taught less lessons this week (awww)😢 because we didn't see three of our investigators. One moved unexpectedly and one had a lot of work hours and one had a surgery for her teeth. (By the way, everyone has surgery on their teeth here. I've met so many people who had their teeth pulled out and just have fake ones. Brush your teeth everybody!) 😁So we did some tracting and finding. Ugh, I don't like tracting. Iz no fun.

Last week we got a referral from a friend of one of our less actives that came at the same time we were teaching him. The referral is her sister, Virginia, who she wanted us to see because she is having some serious struggles and challenges in her life right now. 😮We went on tuesday and met Virginia, her husband, Mike, and their daughter, Amanda, who is in her 30s and has 2 children who she can't see anymore because of some stuff that happened. They allowed us to come see them and teach them because Mike was not sure God existed because of all the horrible things he's seen. We've visited them 2 times since then and they are awesome. Mike is really funny and terribly blunt. He drinks and smokes😯 and has a serious anger problem but he tells us all the time that he knows he needs to change and wants to change. He is very protective over his family and wants to be better for them. Amanda is so sweet and loving despite what she's seen and gone through, which is a lot. Virginia doesn't talk much but we know that she's been through a lot as well and we are excited to teach them all. Every time we go Mike calls us angels. :P😇 So we like going there.

Oh yes, and I turned old on Saturday.😒 I ate sooooooo much foooooood that day! The branch had their annual picnic that morning and one of our investigators and her two girls were able to come. They had a lot of fun and I think it was good for the branch members to see that we actually are teaching people... even though none of them come to church. Still working on that. And my companion blabbed that it was my birthday so the branch sang to me. I'll get her back for that one day. Then for dinner we ate at a less active's home. My companion warned me that he gets really insulted if you refuse more than one serving so we had to eat... a lot. And that night I opened up my birthday packages from my family and one from our investigator, Lisa. They were awesome! I loved them so much.🙌

One transfer down!
