Dear Family,
Welp, the final transfer call came in last night, and I'M STAYING!!!! When I came here last November I would have never imagined I would be so incredibly blessed to serve here for 7 transfers! Sister Yanez and I are staying together and we are training a new missionary. I was anticipating being in a trio. I think most of us who are leaving early are in trio. I don't know how president did it because what I have heard is that with this past transfer and my transfer of missionaries leaving it adds up to almost a third of the mission.(26 missionaries leave this transfer) I think I am still in shock that this is my last transfer, but there is no where else I would rather spend it! Today we spent most the morning moving things around and I'm just trying to throw things away. We get our new missionary tomorrow, so that will be exciting! I think I'm still in shock I'm on my last transfer. It is incredible to look back and to think about all the things I have learned and all the people I have met.
We have been working a lot more with Nicholas(the baptismal date we set last week). His kids are warming up to us a little more. Just Fabiola(the youngest) runs out of the room laughing whenever we invite her to come sing with us or pray, and Jesse made sure he knew what his dad's reading assignment was. haha so cute!:) We're still just praying that they have a car so we don't have to scramble for a ride for them every week since taking the bus wouldn't be very reasonable with 4 kids and being unemployed for the past 2 year.
A less active who came to church the other week gave us permission to start teaching her kids the missionary lessons to prepare for them to be baptized and to strengthen her testimony of the fundamental doctrines, so we're excited to start working with them!
Do you all want Cali shirts or Dodgers shirts or would you all prefer something else? As of right now I'm just planning on some Cali shirts.
I'm gave in on throwing away my black flats and buying a pair of some cheap flats. They were starting to strain the tendon on my right foot when I walked, but I can't complain for a reason to go shopping since I pretty much haven't bought anything that I didn't need:)
This week we met a modern-day Korihor. Either I understand people better or I've met more rude people lately. Thankfully I was full of patience and love that day:)
hmmmm, what else is new? We finally went and visited some former investigators that were dropped right before I got to the area, and they are really cool, and it is crazy because just the week before a missionary had called them to invite them to their departing fireside, and they recognized how much god is aware of them and sent His missionaries to visit them when they needed it most:) Hopefully, we can run on that and help them to progress!
I love you all and I hope you keep enjoying your lazy days at the lake!:)
Love,
Hermana Ford
