Well, turns out I'm staying here another transfer! I have mixed feelings about this one. I love the people here, everybody is just so kind. However, I do miss civilization a lot, turns out I'm a city boy, who would have guessed. :)
Anyways, the area has been really hard to work in here, everything is spread out. I have a huge area! I am so thankful we have a car, however, wish we could have more miles. This past week has been really hard because our appointment with our investigator keeps getting put off. We don't know what's wrong or why she's avoiding us. The good thing is, she still is coming to church. Our ward mission leader thinks the reason for her postponing her baptism is because she might not have a solid testimony of the church yet. Hopefully we will be able to meet with her tomorrow, so I'll let you know what happens with her.
We also were not able to meet with our other investigators, the Schells, the ones that have been investigating since 2006. The sisters in our district had a baptism that night so we had to reschedule for this week Friday.
Our other investigator, Cheryl Vance, probably our most solid, had to reschedule for tonight. I am so excited to meet with her. We heard from another member that she wanted my companion to baptize her when the day comes. I guess it's a good thing we are both staying! We are going to extend a baptismal date for her tonight! Pray that all will go well.
As far as the rest of the week went, Saturday was our best day! We went on exchanges with our zone leaders and we all worked in our area. They call it blitzing the area. We got a lot of lessons out of it and now have 2 new investigators! That really helped us because we have been struggling on finding people to teach.
All there is ever to really do here is service, haha, not that that's a bad thing, it would just be nice to teach a lot more. After the blitz we went out with our ward mission leader to see a couple less actives. We were able sit down with the Martinez family. They have been coming back to church recently, which is awesome! They are such a nice family! We asked the Dad how he felt on working to get to the temple with his family, he said he would love that! It's moments like this that make me so happy I'm a missionary, to be able to help others come closer to Christ. :)
I am looking forward to facing new challenges this transfer and doing my best to help the people here in the Valley. I love and miss you all and hope you have a good week! :)
Oh and Happy Mothers day as well! Cant wait to skype my family this Sunday!
