This week has been a blessed one. I am so lucky to be a missionary, and have this amazing opportunity. Since this week marks the beginning of my last transfer as a called and set apart servant of the Lord, I've been slightly more sentimental than usual. I'm so grateful for all of the experiences I've had-both joyful and disappointing, soul stretching and easy as breathing, hard and fun. It has been the best 17 months!!
David came to church for the first time, and had a wonderful experience. It was the Primary program, where the kids give the service, and it is always super cute, sweet, and spiritual. (And slightly nuts. David contributed to the chaos with a few unexpected "AMEN!!"s. It was oh so West Virginian) Church was especially special for him because he loves his grandkids, and won't be able to see them again in the foreseeable future.
We went on exchanges! Sister Sackett came down here, and we had an awesome time!! We did a fair amount of tracting that day, and it was surprisingly effective. Usually it's... eh. Afterwards she said it made her want to go and tract out her area! Which is good, because the goal was to help them tune their finding skills.
We also had an awesome lesson with Amber! She hadn't gotten too far in her Book of Mormon reading, because she was having a hard time understanding the ye's and yea's and thee's. So we read the Book of Mormon with her. And a miracle happened. She got hooked! We had only planned on reading 1 Nephi 3 with her, but right after we finished she plowed right on ahead in to chapter 4, and then said we couldn't leave until we read at least 5 with her. The scriptures really are a page turner. And the converting power of the Book of Mormon is real. We're up to Helaman 9 now, and the time I spend reading is my favorite part of our study time every morning. It's also super cool how it can always apply to our life, in one way or another.
Well I love ya'll! Talk to you in a few!
