Hello,
well, the work in my old area was going great!!! guess what happened on monday? i'll tell you. we got to teach Amelia again. she's progressing fine :) at the end of the lesson we actually asked if she had any questions, and she did. very humbly and shyly, she said that we scheduled her baptism for next month and she wanted to know if she could get baptized SOONER! we were so impressed with her righteous desires. she's great. but we did tell her that we think it's best for her to wait because she still has a lot to learn. i know that she will be ready when her date comes, and the fact that we are waiting a little bit will help her have some more time to grow in her love for the gospel. okay but that's not all that happened! later that day we went to visit Magdalena. she is the one with 3 kids who are members, and she wants to be a member, but isn't actually married to her "husband". well we've been trying to encourage them to get married and trying to start working with Juan to get him interested in the gospel. well last friday he said he wanted to start learning! and then he came to church on sunday! and then he was there for our lesson with the family monday night! the lesson went well and we could all feel the Spirit. so we invited them to get married so that they both could get baptized. they said yes!!! AH! we were so excited about that! it was so awesome. we were thrilled. i had to tell so many people :)
so that happened monday night and transfer calls were going to come tuesday morning. i had a feeling that because of what happened the day before, the Lord was going to send me off as a joke because i had been.... slightly complaining for a change of scenery. haha and it happened. i've finally left my first area and now i'm in Logans Square. it's still in the city, just north of where i was serving. on the chicago north mission side! i'm really excited to be here. and yeah i'm still on a bike. my companion is Elder Ferrell. he's awesome! he's from texas too haha and he's actually one of the missionaries that i met at the mtc LAST year. i slept on the top bunk and he slept on the bottom! haha and my old companion, Elder Melton is in my district as my Zone Leader! is this cool or what?? i feel like this is going to be a blast and Ferrell and i are going to be so blessed in the work. we will work well together. i think that i'll probably be here for a long time because the mission president likes to keep people in areas for a while. so i might be here all winter if i'm here 4 transfers!
i love you all family! i hope you are all doing what you can to build your relationship with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ on a daily basis. because that's what we need to do. have growth daily.
until next time...
