I am excited to train again, and nervous

March 18  2013

here is a picture of my temporary companion of awesome
Sister Peirson

     This week is transfers and on Wednesday (or Thursday) my companion Sister Howell got her Visa so she is flying to Brazil right now. I am going to miss her. I already miss her. She's gone. But I am staying in the same area, with the Winterwood ward, and training again. So I am going to have a couple days of not knowing where I'm at again until transfers work out and my trainee arrives.

      Melissa is progressing really well, Anthony is still being icky, they want to keep the Lord's commandments and we taught the 10 Commandments this week focusing on how the Book of Mormon and the Bible teach the same thing and how all of Christianity believes in the 10 Commandments. Throughout the lesson Sister Howell and I only really guided discussion and we focused on having our investigators explain the commandments and brainstorm ways they could keep it. Our members, the Turners, were fantastic too. We just have to be patient and keep loving and encouraging them.

     This week has been good. We have an amazing referral, she wants to learn more about our church and come to church. She couldn't this Sunday due to illness but we have an appointment with her on Saturday and all her family members we have met seem really nice. I am excited to train again, and nervous, but I trust the Lord will work it out. He is the one who asked it of me so I trust that He will work it out as long as I try my best. Life is good and I am doing my best to be a good missionary and hard worker.
