Hello everyone!
Our mission is about to become HUGE! Every mission in the US is! All those missionaries that came home from foreign countries are slowly but surely being reassigned to missions in the US. Our Mission President got a call asking how many he could take and he said 70...they are sending 90!
A bunch are coming this week, so we are having transfers two weeks early, and there will be two other mini transfers in the month of May! It is likely that we will stay. They aren't moving us much, but they need to arrange all the new missionaries into the mission, so some shifting will happen! There are going to be a bunch of tripans (I'm hoping we get to have another sister in our companionship!).
This week we have been staying busy! Weird I know! We have figured out how to do missionary work over the phone and through social media! We are always making posts for our page, or messaging people, or teaching a lesson over Zoom! Its awesome! We still go hiking and study by the ocean and get out as much as possible! Otherwise we'd go crazy but we are still working hard! This week we also had a cleaning day where we cleaned for 7 hours! Our apartment is spotless and it feels so nice!
This week I gave a talk in our district church meeting. I spoke on the talk "Tomorrow I Will Do Wonders Among You" by Elder Holland! He talks about how much God loves us and sees the efforts we are making! He says "the great thing about the gospel is that we get credit for trying"... "the Lord blesses those who desire to do good"! That is so comforting! We aren't having the same success we used to, but the Lord sees our desires and our efforts, and we are being blessed for it!
Miracle time! We message a TON of people on Facebook messenger and usually 2 or 3 people respond saying they're not interested and 1 or 2 say they are interested but are really bad at setting something up! Yesterday this guy Amer messaged me back and said he really appreciated my message and really needed it in that moment! He totally recognized my reaching out to him as a miracle, and said he would love to learn more!! We have a lesson set up for tonight! Sooo cool!
I'm doing really well! I'm loving that I have more time to study the gospel! Christ's new testament church IS back on the earth and I'm so grateful for it and the knowledge I have because of it!
