The transfer
ended on Sunday and today we got the news.......We are staying together. Thank
goodness! We were worried it was all too good to be true but we are staying
another transfer here in the Sweetwater 3rd branch. Another 6 weeks in the
ghetto paradise! It's still great, I'm not tired of the area at all which is
kind of unusual.
This week has
been a really good one! Starting off with MTEs that I mentioned last week and
then we had exchanges with the Zone Leaders one last time before Elder Cardiff
went home-He left today, along with one of the English Zone Leaders Elder Hirst
who lives in our same apartment complex, we will miss them!
On exchanges
I stayed in our area with Elder Laws, we had a good day! We got our
investigator Santiago with a baptismal date again, which he lost and taught a
couple other good lessons. We had a lot of fun, even though I spilled the
dinner alllllll over myself that our member gave us to go. It was some really
good broccoli and beef with lots of sauce and I had ALL of the sauce on my
pants/shirt. Funniest thing is we ran to the church to eat and clean up and
while I had my pants partially open to dry off one of the bishops from the
other ward walked in... awkward but he got a good laugh out of it.
We have an
awesome new investigator named Raquel who we met by way of a member. We taught
her the restoration while they were selling stuff on one of the streets in our
area, the member was there to testify and everything! Raquel now has a date for
September 26 and she came to church! We now have 4 investigators with baptismal
dates and we started last week with 0, so now the job is keeping them on date
by making sure they keep their commitments to read the scriptures, pray and
come to church.
Sunday was a
mission president's fireside in Linda vista, which is kinda far away but we
went because we were supposed to have 2 investigators there. They cancelled
last minute but we already had the ride from the member. Brother Barber. His
poor little car was having a hard time though- He is having trouble with his
air filter sensor and his car doesn't accelerate past like 40 mph...it was an
adventure getting up there but we made it with no serious problems. People were
just made getting stuck behind us, even on side streets. We got a good laugh
out of it.
Things are
going good out here in the branch, Elder Cloes and I are happy to have at least
another transfer together and we will see miracles!
I love you
all!
Elder Hansen
