Wow, I don't even know where to
start....I literally feel like all of the days and weeks are blurring together
and I have no idea what happened on what day. It's just going by so fast!!
Transfers were this week and I
will still be with Sister Lopez! I will finish training her and we will be on the
Square this transfer! Goodbye Beehive House. I was a little sad about moving
zones, but I love being on the Square and it will be great experience for
Sister Lopez to be out there more! Annnd I'm not moving apartments. Whoop
whoop!

Things
are going great with my investigators! James was baptized on Saturday and I was SO
incredibly happy for him!! I think I was
looking forward to it almost as much as he was! Sally (name changed), a
woman I am teaching through email, has been learning so quickly and is
progressing! However, I taught her the
law of chastity and it was a hard topic for her to hear, and she didn't email
me for over a week afterwards, but I testified to her of the blessings she will
receive from staying pure and told her to talk to her fiancé and to pray to
Heavenly Father to know if it's the right thing to do. I felt prompted to
email her a few days ago and she responded yesterday saying that she had talked
to her fiancé, prayed, and feels good about everything. She said they are
committed to each other and they can wait. Ah! I was so excited for her and soo
impressed! The Law of Chasity is difficult to commit to for some people, but she really turned to the Lord and
could see that being with her husband-to-be forever is definitely worth the
wait!

Also,
things are definitely picking up at the Square! There was one Beehive shift (3 hours) where we
didn't sit down once. Oh my goodness, tour after tour after tour. It was great but really exhausting! I have
realized how much I love teaching though and how blessed I am to be in a
mission where we are teaching constantly! The hustle and bustle has made me super
excited for General Conference this weekend! There will be thousands of members who have
just been edified by our prophet, apostles, and other leaders and we get to
speak to them! The Spirit will be so
strong and I am so excited to be a missionary! And we are changing things up a bit this time
which I am super happy about. Instead of
us going around, uplifting the members, and asking members for referrals, we
are going to still uplift the members and invite the Spirit into our
conversations but then we will ask them questions that will help them think of
someone in their life who they want to share the Gospel with! We will then help them with that, give them
ideas on how to move forward, and then follow-up with them to see how it went!!
I am seriously SO excited!! This makes
it not about how many referrals we receive, but how many people we can truly
help! And hopefully, by first helping the member, we will be able to continue
to help them and find new investigators who are ready to learn :)

Conference
is seriously a time of miracles and of answered prayers!! Elder Holland
said "that if we teach by the Spirit and you listen by the Spirit, some
one of us will touch on your circumstance, sending a personal prophetic epistle
just to you." How cool is that?! I invite everyone to listen
by the Spirit during Conference, but also to prepare with the Spirit! Write
down questions you may have that you would like answered, study your
scriptures, pray that your heart will be touched! This is a time to
rejuvenate our spiritual batteries for the next 6 months until October
Conference. How blessed are we? Get pumped everyone!! :)
Here is the link to watch it online:
Well, it's been a great week!
Crazy too since sisters from my class left for Outbound....some of my closest
friends! I surprised myself that I cried when they announced where they were
going. I had seen other sisters go Outbound and other sisters cry, and I
thought " you will see them in 3-4 months?" and then there I was all
teary eyed....haha. It's just weird
because you see them every day and then all of a sudden you don't. But this
mission gets us used to change, which is good :)
Another transfer awaits! Can't believe I will be in my
6th transfer out of 12!
Love you all!! Watch Conference!! :)
