I will be in Spotsylvania for 5 more weeks (it's a short transfer)!!! I will be with Elder Cluff too!!! I was SO happy to stay! Elder Norris told me that this will be my last transfer here. Sad....
We had a REALLY good lesson with Ariana on Saturday! We taught her about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. She asked lots of questions which was good! WE were able to answer them and comfort her. She is so excited for her baptism on the 15th. We are too! We're trying to get Joey, Nina's boyfriend, to sit in on the lessons with us. He is starting to warm up to us, but we still have a lot of work to do.
Each week Elder Cluff and I do ALL that we can to get our investigators to church. Usually 1 or 2 investigators come to church each week. Yesterday, 6 INVESTIGATORS came to church!!!! Our gospel principles class was PACKED with recent converts, less active members, and investigators! We had to bring in more chairs from other rooms so everyone could sit down. Elder Cluff and I taught the lesson this week. It was on Missionary work. It was a great lesson and Kathy Osbourn (she finally came to church!!!) was crying and bore her testimony in class about how loving members of the church are. We hope to set her on date for baptism this week!
We had 25 new missionaries come into the mission this week! 12 of them were Sisters! In the next two transfers we are getting 50 missionaries and more than half are sisters! only 15 are going home too!
Scripture for the week: 1Peter 3:15 "But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready alwaysto give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:"
