Week 33 - Transfer week

Hello everyone!

 We had a super busy week this week! This was our last week of the transfer...I can't believe how fast it went by. So first transfer news: So Sister Sharp left me on Sunday and so my new companion is Sister Andrews. I've never met her and I will meet her on Tuesday. I also have been called as a Sister Training Leader (STL)! When I first was called I was a bit scared because I've never been an STL. STLs go on exchanges with other sisters to help them in their area and are there to help out in their area. I know the Lord has called me to this for a reason and as I rely on him I can fulfill this calling. Wish me luck!

 

So last week we were just knocking doors and we came across this family who let us in and talked to us. We asked the mom if she would like to learn more about Jesus Christ and like the missionary lessons. She told us no but said we can ask her kids. So we asked Paige (13), Aspen (11), and Chase (11) if they would like the lessons and they said yes. We had a lesson with all 3 of them and invited them to be baptized and they said yes. Aspen said she had a lot of friends get baptized when she was 8 and always wondered what it would be like. We invited them to church and Aspen was so excited and said yes I will definitely come... The other two said they will try. So Heavenly Father is really looking out for us in this area because we have 3 new investigators!

 We moved this week. So the lady we were living with has housed missionaries for 4 years, but now her grandson is coming to live with her so we had to move. We moved a little further up the mountain and now live with Sister Wilson who has a Down syndrome daughter who is the sweetest girl ever, I already love her. It's an amazing house and we live in her basement. We live super far away from our area now. It takes about an hour to walk to one of the wards we cover, so we now have to rely on members giving us rides a lot more.

Sister Sharp left the Logan Utah mission on Sunday. She is a two transfer missionary and got her new mission call to Modesto, California and will enter the MTC January 25th. I learned a lot being companions with her. She is a great missionary and super obedient. I learned a lot of patience and charity, but I'm glad to have been her companion.

 Well that's all for this week! I really hope I have a good next transfer in Ben Lomond. The members are amazing here, they are so nice and are always trying to help us out. I love being a missionary even in hard areas. I know as I trust in God, anything is possible.

Love you all,

 Sister Lowe
