Transfers and Exchanges

It was transfers this week and I tooootally forgot to tell y'all about that.... whoops. But yay I'm writing now! 😜 Neither of us are being transferred so I'm gonna stay in Jackson county for at least another 6 weeks, which means I'll have been here for 6 months! Crazy!

Last week was exchanges! (It was a lot less stressful than last exchanges if any of you remember that.. 😅 so that's good. :)) I served with Sister Webb and she is awesome. We visited some less actives, had dinner with a member, taught a new investigator, and contacted some referrals. It gets dark now at 6 (ug) so when we were contacting some referrals it was reeeaaallly dark. I felt like a creeper knocking on people's doors asking them if they wanted to learn more about Jesus Christ from two strangers walking around at night. 🌚

We are getting to know our members tons better and it is awesome!! I don't know if I mentioned this in past emails but 6 months before I got here something happened and there ended up not being any missionaries in Jackson County for a whole transfer.... 😖so the members kind of lost hope in the missionaries. Since then, we have been trying to gain their trust again and it is soooo much better now! Yay! They are becoming more involved and are slowly getting more excited about doing missionary work themselves. Happy day.

We also ran into another preacher yesterday. Oh my goodness. There's a preacher on every block here and they all want to tell us we will burn for eternity if we don't stop teaching the Book of Mormon. Sister Anderson is still getting used to that. 😆 It's kind of funny.

We did get lots of candy on Halloween from the people we taught so that's always fun. :) 🍭🍫🍬

I hope you all had an awesome Halloween!!!
