Wanted to write a little introduction to the stellar week. As missionaries we are promised blessings and God has poured those out on us this week! Hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed serving it!
3/13 Monday
Last day of the transfer! Elder’s McClure and Alison got haircuts today so they could be looking fresh when they leave the area. We stopped by a bunch of people so Elder McClure could say adios. It was a good day!
3/14 Tuesday
The craziness of transfers happened and we finally shipped everyone off and got settled in about 1:00. We were able to go play some basketball and that was pretty fun. There is this older guy that comes sometimes and nobody likes him because he is crazy competitive and ornery haha. Once he showed up not many of the young men wanted to play anymore haha. My new companion is Elder Pedersen. He is from Gilbert/Mesa, Arizona and he came out with me! He is way cool and so it is going to be a great transfer. Tonight we had a lesson with Harbor. She is nine and wants to get baptized really bad. We had asked her on Friday to read the first chapter of the Book of Mormon Stories book and when we asked her if she read it, she had read the whole book in like three days!! We were amazed and she told us all about it so that was way cool! We also were asked to teach mutual to the young women on missionary work and so we did that and it was a great time! Elder Pedersen kept getting a little distracted, but all was well, haha, I am kidding!

3/15 Wednesday
Spiritually powerful day! We got to teach Maggie Bohl and her husband tonight. (She is the one that stopped us last week). Her husband is actually a less active member, but she really wants to learn and gain a testimony! Immediately as we started talking to them the Spirit touched both Elder Pedersen and I to teach the Plan of Salvation instead of the Restoration! At the end of the lesson, we asked them about what this plan meant to them and why is it important! Brother Bohl immediately said that when they were asked what they believed they would have an answer and they would be able to testify to their children about God's Plan of Salvation! The spirit touched each one of us during that lesson! Satan definitely tried to get the spirit to leave though! I was teaching about life here on earth and our purpose when their puppy clenched on my finger with his sharp teeth and it was quite difficult to finish the sentence I had started! It was super funny but they felt super bad and they put the dog outside and we resumed the lesson!
3/16 Thursday
Tonight was another crazy miracle! We were walking down this street and Elder Pedersen goes "hey that guy is calling elder, elder." I turned around to see a man waving his arms and coming towards us barefoot! We started talking to him and found out that he had seen us from his upstairs bedroom window and wanted to talk to us. He had just moved from California and had been taught a lot by missionaries over there and wants to start being taught again! He is in his twenties and is a great guy!
3/17 Friday
Today was another solid day! Tonight we saw Sister Scott and were able to talk with her! I am hoping that she will continue to come to church because I think if she does her granddaughters will want to come and be baptized! We also saw the Bradley’s and that was great. I didn't wear any green today and I didn't get pinched, so it was a bonus to the day!
3/18 Saturday
Tonight we got to teach one of the Stucki's boys. He is fifteen and is really smart. We answered a lot of his questions and we are hoping that he will feel the spirit and he will recognize it!
3/19 Sunday
We had seven people at church today and both services were really good! Tonight we went and visited a referral we hadn't been able to contact yet and he was finally home! His name is Jamal and he is a great guy in a tough situation. He has met with missionaries before and he wants to meet with us again and go to church he asked us several times to text him and set up a lesson and church! It was a great way to end the week! I am excited about this transfer and the work that will get done!
