Oh my goodness this week has been amazing! I just
love Bozeman. This week has been awesome. So on Friday night we called
Duane to see how he was doing, we called him on Thursday after his chemo
also. He asked us on Friday if we were going to visit on Saturday, so
of course we went over and saw him on Saturday! Sister Harwood's sister
went to see him while in the VA and gave him a book on the Atonement :)
awwww and then when we were visiting with Duane on Saturday after he
came home he gave us some chocolate toffee cookies he bought for us :)
awww Duane :) We just love him. We also saw Dietrick this week and he is
doing awesome! He read from the Book of Mormon and when we asked if
there was anything we could do to help him he asked us to pray for his
family's heart to be softened and to listen to the message! awwww how
amazing is that! He is awesome.
Yesterday at church we
had the Primary Program, just like you did mom :) and oh my goodness it
was just so tender and the spirit was so strong. Remember how I told you
all about Jake and Kelci who came to church last week, well they came
again :) and they loved the primary program. Then Chrisan came with her
daughter, she was reactivated officially last week :) then Duane was at
church, and so many members were so excited to tell us about the
missionary work they are doing :) It was by far the best Sunday we have
had in Bozeman :)
I got a call earlier in the day from
Elder Bishop one of the Assistants and he interviewed me for transfers
and told me about a new thing they are going to be doing called Facebook
specialist and later that day I would get my transfer news, so we hung
up and I just thought, oh ok..facbeook I bet I will be working with
Facebook more. We then went about our day and did missionary work and
had dinner with some of the best members ever! Then we were driving to
our appointment at 6 with Jake and Kelci, which was pretty far away,
well on our way we noticed we had a voicemail. And honestly I was not
worried about transfers at all, I knew I was staying, until we had that
wonderful Sacrament meeting, it was so good that I got nervous about
being transferred. Well we listen to the voicemail, and it was from
President Mecham, and he does not make transfer calls unless there is a
special reason. Well he said that I am going to be made a Sister
Training Leader in Missoula. Well I just cried haha, I only have 5 weeks
left and I really thought I would be staying in Bozeman, and things are
finally working out and then of course I get transferred. But I
understand it is all what the Lord wants and it will be great. But now I
have to pack this transfer and Next..so get ready for packages to be
coming home..I have a lot to send hahahaha.
It is
pretty cool that I am going to Missoula, because I remember my first
little while in the mission I just had this feeling that I would serve
in Wyoming, Missoula, and Bozeman. And I have always felt that since,
however after coming to Bozeman I figured this would be my last area and
I so I did not think much of it. But now I am going to Missoula, crazy
right? I will hit all the areas I felt I would. I only have 5 weeks
there, so I am going to have to work super hard and make sure I find
those I need to find.
Oh something else that is awesome
is we started teaching our neighbor David, I think we might have
mentioned him. The first time we taught him he would not take a Book of
Mormon because he wanted to pray to know if he should read it. Guess
what about 4 days later I got a message from him on Facebook asking for a
copy, so we gave him it and he has scrolled though it a little. We met
him again and talked about how we know the church is true, and then
yesterday our ward mission leader talked with him, since we could not
get another girl or guy to go with us, we could not go, so our ward
mission leader taught him the plan of salvation! What a miracle, he is
awesome!
Another Miracle that happened yesterday is after
dinner we taught Jake and Kelci the plan of Salvation and it went so
well, when we were taking about how God loves us and will make sure all
of us have a chance to accept the gospel, he was just feeling the spirit
and when we were talking about the spirit world. Then at one point he
was in deep thought and he looked at us and said "Remember when you were
talking about the Holy Ghost last time, and I said I had never felt
it…well I was thinking about it, and I think I have felt it. While I was
in jail about to get out, I remember just writing something down, like a
essay, and I went back and read it, and I think I was feeling the
spirit" He was so excited to tell us he ran out to the car to get the
paper, but he could not find it. But then Kelci pulled it out of her
wallet and said "I like to read it" :) I can't even explain the spirit
right then. We had to leave shortly after, so we are going back today to
have him read the paper to us. He is just growing so much in the
gospel, he is one amazing guy, he is a little rough, but wow, he has
such a sweet spirit, I can see it in his eyes. I am so excited for Jake
and Kelci they are wonderful!
I love this gospel and I know that it is true. :)
Have a wonderful week and be happy
