Transfers!

This week has been pretty awesome. So first things first, sister
Michaud and I are both getting transferred. I am heading back to
Vancouver to serve in the the Vancouver 3rd ward in the Vancouver west
stake. And sister Michaud is going to Saint Helen's 2nd ward in the
Rainier stake. So she will be staying in the land of no sales tax
Oregon and I'll be going back to good ol Washington. Annnnd I will be
training again. And doubling in.....ahhh man. Stressful. But it will
be alright. It's all the lords plan.

We had a really great week and found some super awesome people to
teach. We went tracting and decided that we needed to go to a certain
street. I had been wanting to tract there and we found a lady to
teach. A lot of people have questions about the church and mostly its
rumors that aren't true. So when we are able to teach about what the
gospel is all about hearts are changed. She was awesome and really
wants to learn about the Book of Mormon. So the new sisters will go and
see her. We also found some sisters who have a lot of lds family and
they really want to find out about the church and the Book of Mormon.
We have found some cool people that the new missionaries will teach.
We did a lot of service this week and had some really awesome
meetings. We had interviews with president and zone meeting. It was
much needed. We talked a lot about being committed to our callings.
And that is true for every calling in the church. We are all building
the kingdom of God.

We had a pretty great miracle this week. We asked Jeremiah who is
Debbie's grandson if he wanted to take the lessons to get baptized. And
he said yes!!! We are going to teach him tonight. We had some great
lessons with Gladys and she is so ready to be baptized. I love her.
And thankfully we recovered from some false doctrine taught by the
member who was there in the lesson. We had dinner with her and she is
just so great. I am really going to miss her.

This week honestly has been super fast and I literally cannot remember
half of the things that we did. Except a less active told us that he
wants to become an apostle. So that was weird. And sister Lott said
she just loved everyone she met while at the house. She gave me a
haircut today so that was pretty great.

I love you all!
