So. Crazy week. Oh my goodness it is so fun. I'm not going to lie, I miss Sister Westover like CRAZY. I just laugh and have so much fun with her. BUT. Sister Carr is THE BEST. She is so fun and kind and selfless. It has been an absolute party with her.
So. Me and Sister Westover worked our hardest until Thursday. We had so many meeting though hahaha but we got to go up to see president! So that was fun! And then on Thursday morning we did the transfer. Hahaha me and Sister Westover couldn't cry but we wanted to so bad!! I seriously didnt want to leave her. But sister carr is so awesome and I've only heard positive things, and so we did the little switchero and we were on our way.
My time with Sister Carr has been filled with miracles!! We have been praying for referrals in every single prayer and we got 5 this week!! That was such a miracle from God. We were blown away by the blessing. But it gets even better! So by Saturday, our zone as a whole had only found 2 friends. We were like, ah what do we do??? So me and Sister Carr were like okay. Let's call all the companionships. And so we called all the companionships and we were like, we want to pray with you. And so we prayed and it was so cool to see the miracles. Sometimes we'd end the prayer, and the companionship would be like, actually it's crazy, we just got a referral. And the ZL set a baptismal date!! And then dropped off a Bible to a referral that never replied, and she was so touched and told them that it made her cry and that no one had ever done that for them before! And then other referrals would come in. It was amazing. During one of the prayers, the name Diane popped into my head and I was like, Sister Carr! We need to call her! And she was the first person we set up an appointment with!! Ah it was such an AMAZING week.
Other miracles include:
-We went to Balboa park. And we were walking around the park and met this sweet guy. We talked and later called him. He's been through some really tough things. He's heard about our church, but wants to learn it from us!
-this person we called was like, I was not in the right state of mind before, but I am now. And I also want to learn about that guy that found the plates!! Way crazy!!
-we had 4 of our friends come to church(':
-also, this is the best ward, everyone here is just so missionary minded people. I love itttt
Other fun moments:
- I used to hate the youth song (okay hate is a strong word, just highly dislike) the youth song "What does he think about me" but then it grew on me. So every time it comes on, me and Sister Westover stop any conversation we're in and start belting it out
- all the sisters came for fast sunday dinner
- we did a visitor center tour with our recent convert steve and he LOVED it. He was directing the whole thing. He was like "wait wait, go back, to the right" like the whome ti.e. and he kept being like "hold on, left me take a screenshot of that" he is SO SOLID.
- ummm a lot of other amazing things happened this week but those are the highlights. I hope all of you are good. I just want to share a spiritual thought. I was studying about humility the other day. There's been a lot of good things happening here and I was talking with my mission president and he told me some really nice things too and I was just feeling good. And then I just heard the spirit whisper to me, "remember that it's not you. Give the praise to God." And so that next day I right away started studying humility. When we accomplish things, it feels good. But humility is remembering that it is not about us. It's about God. And that we love Him and thank Him for every blessing. That's it! Bye love you all!!
