This past week has mostly just been telling Sis. Robinson where to go and taking her around to all the members. I'm trying really hard to not let Sis. Howell affect the way we interact with the members. Transfer day was a little scary. I woke up just feeling sick to my stomach because I didn't know what the next transfer was going to be like and I was pretty sad to see Sis. Howell leave. We grew a lot the second transfer together and we were doing great work in the area. Sis. Robinson was just Sis. Zollinger's (MTC comp) companion so I was able to calm down:) She's from Austin, Texas and has only been out 1 transfer longer than me. She turned 20 in June so she's another youngin' but that doesn't bother me any more. She is a good teacher, and we're really excited to work together this transfer. Something that she has taught me is to pray with people after talking to them at their doorstep. The first time it really caught me off-guard, but it was actually really cool just to feel the spirit come in so strongly.
Planning was a little stressful because I had to pretty much do it all by myself, and my brain wasn't like working at all but we got through it:)
My head has gotten a lot better. Sis. Robinson looks through it every night which is super nice of her. I know a lot a people would have been pretty grossed out and not willing to do that.
We weren't able to go to the embassy this week because of transfers and a lot of things got changed up. All of the missionaries that were in Griffith zone when I came in have been transferred so everything feels really different, but I love being in my area so I really don't care what missionaries are in the zone(I should probably be a bit more friendly, huh:))
Francisco is doing good....he wants to be baptized, but not until he has everything figured out with his wife which is a little frustrated/sad because I have no clue when that is going to happen. I'm trying to find the balance between having faith that things will work out and he will get baptized and preparing myself to drop him because he's not going to progress:(
Andrea is doing great, I still can't believe the change I have seen in her.
Oscar has to be one of my favorite people right now. We met with him this week, and the determination he has to go back to the temple is just unbelievable after being inactive for so long. He has told his story a few times, and every time he refers to us as his angles. If there has been one thing I have learned is that no matter how good of a teacher you are, how much you love them, and if you do everything "perfectly" it is all about the lord's timing. I feel so blessed just to have been on the sidelines watching Andrea and Oscar. Even though I was the missionary that found him or the one who "baptized" her I can honestly say that I really didn't do anything. Just in these past 5 months I have seen so many miracles, but I know that it wasn't because of me.
Sis. Robinson and I.
I love you all!
Love Hermana Ford
