Well... Transfer week was hectic as always! Going to bed at 2 for the past 4 nights has taken a toll on me. Plus it didn't help that I was sick... We had 38 missionaries come in. We opened up a ton of areas. Which meant furnishing apartments, getting cell phones and cars, and everything else that is involved. Everyone was on edge at the Transfer meeting. It's a scary thing not knowing if you are going to a different mission or not. There were a lot of tears afterward (mostly by the sisters). You become such good friends with the missionaries you serve around. Especially the ones that I have served with my entire mission. However, Elder Yates, Rasmussen, and myself are living it up together while we still can. We have been having so much fun! We had some really cool miracles this last week!

Saturday we were checking up on someone whom we had taught the first lesson to. On our way to her apartment we saw these two girls sitting on the curb. We started talking to them about the Book of Mormon and they loved it! One of the girls, Roxy, told us she had a bunch of friends that needed to hear this. So we walked all around the neighborhood meeting her friends and teaching them. It was sweet! After all of that walking, I had to pee SO BAD! But I couldn't find a bathroom. So after an hour of walking around talking to Roxys friends, we went to Noreen's apartment. As we were knocking, I saw a guy (who reminds me of Newman from Seinfeld) who I had talked to when I bumped into Noreen. He had said that his wife wouldn't like it if missionaries visited because she is very Catholic. I asked him if she was still that way and he said yes. So we knocked on the door a couple of times.... No answer. So we walked back down the stairs. Ron (the newman guy) was walking back up to his apartment. Right then I had this impression to ask him to use his restroom. I did and he said "sure I guess that's ok"... We went in and his wife was there. SUPER NICE LADY! I used the restroom and came out and my companions were sitting down talking to her. I sat down and we started teaching her. Turns out she wanted to be LDS when she was younger, but her parents wouldn't let her. She then lost interest over time, but is very excited to learn more. She wants to come to church really bad, because she went as a kid and had an incredible time.

Next cool miracle... We were tracting yesterday and it was SO HOT! We were in our suits because we were going to go to church right after. We must have knocked on 20 doors with no answer. Usually people are home on Sundays. We got to the last door and knocked. Out came Peter. This guy is the definition of God's elect. He had incredible faith increasing questions and is earnestly seeking for the truth. We taught him about the Restoration and he loved it. The spirit was so strong in that lesson. Elder Rasmussen, Yates, and myself both felt very prompted that he is going to get baptized very soon.

LOVE YOU ALL!

A guy called me out of the blue about a month and a half ago. He is from Ghana. He didn't tell me how he got my number, but he asked where the nearest church was to his house. Turns out he lived just down the street. We got him in contact with the local missionaries ASAP! He just got baptized yesterday!!!!! Samuel was his name. I LOVE IT!
