Transfer Predictions‏

5/27/2013

I want you to do transfer predictions for, as we say in missionary lingo, where I am going to "die". You can either point somewhere on the map of the mission and guess OR I will give you the zones for the mission.  Please do it! It should be fun! Possible prize for the winner, but don't count on it. :) Zones: Airdrie, Calgary Zone, Calgary North, South, East, (I'm in the West...probably won't be staying), Foothills, Ft. McCloud, Lethbridge and British Columbia. :)

Yes, transfers are next week and as always, I am hating the unknown.  I know that there is a really good chance that I will be purging my last area.  Which will be an adventure in itself, but I still had not knowing until the day of.

Last week was pretty good. I cannot say anything extraordinary happened, not that you expect it to happen. But we did have a neat tender mercy.  We had a ward chili cook off and we were really trying to get the Bates there.  We had members of the ward council email them during the week with a spiritual thought and some of them told us that they invited them to the Chili cook off.  They did not show up, but a former investigator did! And Brother Hartzler showed up with some non members friends! It was pretty great!

We had dinner with Thandi again this week...and much laughter ensued.  Previously this transfer...maybe even last transfer we were giving so much bread! It has been sitting in our freezer so we asked Thandi if we could come over and make french toast.  It was amazing.  Missionaries love breakfast for dinner because we don't have enough time in the morning to make a nice sit down breakfast.

A less active member that we have been working with returned from her holiday in Las Vegas.  Lisa has told us that she wants to learn how to make Cinnamon buns.  We have been wanting to get her visiting teacher to come over and teach her how....hopefully that will happen this week.  I would be in Heaven. :)

We were able to have another lesson with Barb.  We thought she was still out of town, but she came back on Wednesday and will be leaving for another holiday in a few weeks.  We watched the 20 minute Restoration video which hopefully helped her understand Joseph Smith better and to help her gain a testimony about him.  We read 2 Nephi....29..? The chapter that talks about the learned man not being able to read a sealed book.  I felt pretty special being able to explain the story - thank you Martin Harris Pageant. ;) Barb is super sad that I will be leaving and she wants to feed us dinner.  Yeah! It will be amazing!

We will keep working hard this week and we shall soon discover what our fate is. :) ie - me possibly being the Sister Training Leader and Sister Fenn training.

Love you lots and lots!!!!
