Blessings of the Spirit

This week is transfers and guess what? I"m not moving :) I get to stay in Tally 3 for a while longer! Which is great. But we did move apartments this past week. I made my companion do it in one day. There was no way that we would have gotten it done if we split things up so we got everything out. The Elders were a great help moved all the heavy stuff of course :) Bless their hearts. They were great though, made things move a lot faster too. We made them cinnamon rolls to thank them and I think we will always have willing help from them in the future lol! Getting kinda sick too blah (it's almost bad enough for me to get a really good laugh cough going...). So far just achy but that's why God created dayquil. Feeling a little bit better and was able to rest in between meetings yesterday.

Other than that this week has been totally busy! We got a media referral last Monday after I emailed, how freaking cool is that?!!! The referral came from a missionary serving in the Vegas area. His grandparents live in our boundaries and are guess..... Atheist! Challenge accepted! The grandma seems like a great woman. Totally not against the church, loves it in fact for the awesome support it's given her daughter and her daughter's family. Funnier story? We got the best feeling from these people. As we knocked on the door the grandma came up and was like welp come in! My companion and I thought that it was way too easy but hey we went in! Her grandson had sent a letter that he had put in for some missionaries to come by just to show her what he did as a missionary. She had just gotten to the part where he told her he had put in the referral as we knocked! Otimo? I think YES!!! She says she's not interested but that she wants to get some help with her family history work at the family history center. Of course my companion and I jumped on that so fast it's not even funny. 

Sunday was a super big day for us too. One of the less actives we are working with showed up again! YAY!!! Plus she brought her daughter who we are probably going to start working with for when she wants to get baptized next year  when she's 8. Plus we went to see a less active and her sister and grandson's girlfriend was there. Guess who is going to start taking lessons?! The spirit was so strong when we were talking with them it was fantastic. It'll be even better when we teach them since we'll be doing it at the less active's home and she'll sit in. This week was definitely awesome. 

This coming week we also get to fill in the missionary stockings with all the stuff that people from our stake bought to give to the missionaries not getting anything from home for the Holiday. 

This past week we also did a huge service project for one of our PI's. There were like 20 members that showed up to do yard work. It looked great after only 1 hour. We even had some people swinging in the trees... like literally. There's an older lady in our ward who was like, weellll that looks like it would hold me... Brother give me a push! Haha, she's hilarious even got it on camera. 

I also had to get and FBI clearance for my visa y'all. I'm a weapon... A weapon of the Lord! Teachin' the gospel! 

Fique firme na fe!
