Transfers ONCE AGAIN!

Well I can start by telling you that it will be a BUSY transfer. But the cherry on the cake for this a transfer is Conference! WOOHOO!! Hope you are all preparing!  I have been asked to be District leader and I really was not expecting that because I am a still a trainer. But I am grateful for the opportunity to help the work in this way. I am also the Sports Co-coordinator for the mission and Sis. Sagari and I are on the Hospitality Bus Tour Committee.  (I am glad to be back doing H.B.T) So there are lots of different things to do this transfer but it's going to be the best transfer yet on Temple Square!


I really love teaching with Sis Sagari and I am grateful to get to know the Brazilian Culture! It is so fun to take Portuguese lessons and tours! I think Brazilian's hearts are softer. We had our own little miracle this morning...So this last week Fernando came on "chat" and sister Sloan asked us if she could transfer him to us because he was typing Portuguese and of course we said yes! But the transfer didn't successfully go through so we thought we lost him. But Sister Sloan luckily got his email from the top of the screen so we sent him a text (I say we, but of course Sis. Sagari was the one doing the typing....I don't think he'd understand my Portuguese...) Anyways he replied and we got his contact info and we called him. He has seen missionaries walking around his town in the past and we asked if he would meet with them. And today we called again and he said he was driving and saw the missionaries so he pulled over to the side of the road and talked with them and they invited him to go to church this Sunday! We are so excited for Fernando to go to church this Sunday! He's only 22 but so great! We love him and hope he makes some covenants soon!

School has started and you can definitely tell. The square has slowed down a lot and it's kind of depressing..but with that we get more time in the Teaching center which we really need because there are so many people sitting in my files that I haven't had time to contact and weighs on my soul!

Oh Mother I feel so sick inside! I was so grateful for your stamps...but in the hectic move of apartments I think I lost them:(  Please forgive me and I feel so bad because it was a waste of money and it was so thoughtful because I really needed them. Today I will have a little time to search through my stuff so I hope I can find them. Sis. Sagari said she loved chocolates and she ate them in 2 mins:) The Sisters laughed when I told them "so my mom sends me a package....Sister Sagari gets chocolates and I get stamps...." haha but I just said, "My Mom knows me well."

Seminary sounds like it's going well for Mom and Kate! Annie and Adam's family is so great! Thanks for making me cry:)
  
Oh yeah to answer your question mother - we  do serve at Welfare Square and The Beehive house...I just haven't and I AM SO GRATEFUL!!!!! That was the one thing I was praying for coming into this transfer! I really didn't want to be at another venue for conference! It would be sad if we didn't  get to be out talking to all the members! Now in the  dead of winter.....bring it on...I would love it. But when there are people on the square...no way. - I don't want to be stuck in the Beehive House!

I love you all!
