This week has been a crazy one! On Tuesday Hermana Ashcraft and I found a new investigator, Alfonso and he is super cool! He has a family and we had already talked to his daughter and he has a lot of friends that are members! We have another appointment with him on Wednesday and I am super excited!
On Wednesday we drove to Richmond to transfer meeting! My new companion is Hermana Barton. She is from Sandy (mom, she went to Brighton!) and we came to the mission at the same time, she just went to the Mexico MTC. We are having so much fun and every day is a blast! She thinks Staunton is a super weird place, which it is but it is super funny!
On Friday we had another meeting in Richmond. So we had to drive 2 hours back and it was really great. We talked a lot about consecrating ourselves to our missions and I feel like it really relates to how we need to be doing that all the time with the gospel. We can always be thinking about the gospel and how that will really keep us on the right path. I was also able to see Hermana Whetten and Hermana Coleman and it was so much fun especially since Hermana Barton has been companions with both of them :)
Then we came back and had a lesson with Ervin. He for some reason has an issue with understanding faith and what it means to act on faith. So we are working on that with him... but he says he loves the Book of Mormon and believes in it so there is that... haha
On Saturday we were trying to contact these people, Marleni and Otoniel, but they weren't home and we met Marleni's sister and gave her a Book of Mormon. Then a little later Marleni and Otoniel came home so we started talking to Marleni and she invited us and and we read the Book of Mormon with her and it went really well. She was so willing to have us back and she had already read the Book of Mormon before we got there. We are so excited to keep working with them, we have a super good feeling about it :)
Last night we also found another family who seems pretty interested in the gospel! We are so excited for the next 6 weeks. Its going to be a blast!
I love and miss you guys but I honestly forgot that it was the day you were going to Upton yesterday haha and I was glad because a couple of months ago I would have been really distracted but I wasn't!
This week is going to be awesome. We are having a 70 coming to the mission and at zone conference he wants to meet with the leaders of the mission so we get to be in on a meeting with him and like 8 other missionaries and that's it so we are super excited.
I LOVE YOU!!
