This week was so much fun!! It was so sad to say goodbye to Sister Allen on Wednesday, but I also got to see so many past companions at transfers.

 

My new companion, Sister Pelky, is so much fun!!! She was originally assigned to the Belgium Netherlands mission and was in the first group of missionaries that did online MTC. She was released for two months, and then re-set apart and THEN came to the TKM. I'm 2nd half training her (which was a surprise to me because they didn't mention that part in the transfer call) and she Speaks Dutch!! So technically she's Zuster Pelky! I had her teach me how to pray in Dutch and let me tell you, Dutch is hard!!! 

 

Here's a miracle for the week: We found a guy on Facebook like two weeks ago and he was super open to the message! We taught him the restoration and gave him a Book of Mormon and he said he'd come to church! And then he missed church and stopped responding to our messages. We hadn't heard from him in a week and he wasn't responding to anything we sent him. . . . But then on Sunday morning we get a message from him that said: "I'll be at church today." He came and our members were SO good and provided such a strong testimony meeting and all tried to introduce themselves to him afterwards. This ward is so good! After church we taught him the gospel of Jesus Christ and invited him to be baptized. . . . HE SAID YES!!! 

 

I love fast Sundays. The miracles and blessing and abundance of Spirit are REAL! 

 

I love you all so much!! But I probably love the Lord more. . . .

These bumper stickers are very common in the South, apparently even on dump trucks!
