White Fish Bound...

So just when you've got a good thing going...

The spirit guides. As in it guides you straight to White Fish for transfers. That's right. For the first time ever. I am being transferred on an actual transfer. In fact. All three of us are. 12 days. The ward is furious, but the Lord's plans always make more sense in retrospect. When I look back on all the places I have been so far- I remember being upset when I left Cody, I remember being upset when I left the institute, I remember being numb when I left 3 ward. Not to say I didn't know it was the Lord's plan, but looking back I KNOW it was the Lord's plan. I know the people I have touched and that have touched my life were there with me in the right place at the right time.

I sincerely love my companions. I am sad to see Sister Jackson go to Townsend and Sister Sherratt leave me for my beloved Wyoming (Worland though, not Cody), but I know that we made the impact on each other that we were supposed too. That we learned and grew from each other. And laughed. Well mainly we just laughed. A lot.

So I bet you can guess, this week has been CRAY. We received like 50 referrals. And had ZERO time to contact any of them. We went to this house to visit a former investigator only to find out that she had moved. Instead we found a woman named "Alysa." When we realized it was the wrong person we go- Oh, well can we come in? She goes- Sure! And opens the door and just walks into her house. So the 4 of us are just standing in her foyer all awkwardly until I finally say- well do you have a couch or something? HAHA. We teach her the first lesson and it was one of the coolest experiences of my life. 

 

 

Missionary work is sometimes so uncomfortable, but I've learned when I do things out of the ordinary good things come. The out of the ordinary part was obviously just standing in her foyer awkwardly for 5 minutes. 

We met this other woman this week named "Elizabeth." Now. Let me help you to understand why she is my new favorite investigator of all times. She wants to know more about the church because her HERO Mitt Romney is a member which must mean it's true. Not kidding. She agreed to read the Book of Mormon and pray about it on the basis that if Mitt Romney was a part of it... it must be stellar. We are obviously best friends now. We aren't allowed to talk about politics, so I sat on my hands, and beamed. Legit.

As for my Portuguese. Eu practico todas as dias! ...quasi. Sundays are hard, we have MINIMAL study time! 

Love you and miss you muito!
