Thank you so much for the amazing letter that you sent me!!! That was really one of my favorites. I could really feel that Spirit of your testimony in it. I really could. I LOVED your scriptural insight that you sent to me. It's true that many things have already happened in the past and we can absolutely learn from them and apply them in our lives if we are looking for answers in the scriptures. I've have come to figure out that revelation usually comes most clear when we have a clear question or concern. If we don't know what we want out of reading His word, we won't know what to look for as we read His word, because all the answers we need are in there. Thanks again for your testimony Mom!!! You're the best!!
A little update on what's going on around here!! I am finally getting transferred. To Visalia. A big town 25 minutes north of Porterville. There were a few tears shed by members and investigators here, which was pretty hard, but this is what needs to happen, because there are never mistakes in transfers. I learn that every time they come around. It's going to be really hard to leave all the things that are familiar to me, but in many ways it will also be a good thing. Elder Pace needed so extra practice, so we stayed in a few hours extra for a few days to help him out. And I could not believe that difference!!! He had an investigator, Chris, who had really started to stop progressing. She went on a church tour with us, and loved it, but just felt like we were pushing her too much. So he is leading the area this week and he had a SPECTACULAR lesson! He really helped her and her husband out. She actually came out of the house and swore at us because she was in a bad mood, but by the time we were teaching and reading, she was smiling and laughing. I just couldn't believe the turn-around!!! We have had a few lessons were I just had to turn and smile with how well he was teaching. I have had SUCH a great time with Elder Pace and I have made many great memories with him.
But I am going to be a normal missionary for like the first time EVER!!!! No training! No leading! No nothing!!! I just get to buckle down with a missionary that I don't even know yet and do WORK. I am pretty excited!!! I've heard not the greatest things about him, but that won't sway my impressions of him at all and I will love him no matter what!
This week we had a miracle!! We had someone that got married to a member, and wanted to get baptized!! He just wants to walk to the font!! I am so thankful for him!! He is the answer to many of my prayers and fasts. I won't be here to watch him get baptized, but Elder Pace will, and THAT'S what I care about! We've got high hopes for him! His name is Richy!
My helmet was stolen off my bike. And get this, it was IN the church!! There was mutual going on and I put my bike right were I always put it, and for some reason someone steals it. But don't worry, I found a spare, so I'm happy! It works perfect!
This week we went to a members house that made us a meal that was named the artery cloggger. yeah. clogger. I'll tell you about it later.
This week I helped set a wedding that had 4 pizza hut pizzas and candy. Such as is life in Porterville. I'll tell you about it later.
I gave a talk in Sacrament this week! SO embarrassing. I'll tell you about it later.
Thanksgiving plans? I have none. I will be transferred to Visalia a week before Thanksgiving. So I hope my new ward is nice to missionaries!!!!
I love you guys!!!!! Sorry I was late!!! We went to a indoor sporting place on Monday. But I love you with all my heart!!!!!!
