Transferred!

Here is the update for the past two weeks:

Oct. 14, 2013

This week was kind of hard, we had two of our progressing investigators drop us. Just like that, no explanation, no warning, just "I don't want you to come over anymore." But it's ok. I know that there are others out here who are ready to receive the gospel. In fact, I'm pretty sure we found two of them last night. We went to go visit a sister who is getting baptized in November, and her son and his friend were outside (they might have been slightly drunk but that's ok.) and we started talking to them. They both want to learn more about the gospel, one of them recently lost his mother, and he cried when we started to talk about the Plan of Salvation. I think that he will love the gospel. I'm so sad that transfers are coming, I love this companionship, we have fun, and we work hard. I got to visit Roxie last night, for the first time in about a month, and it was so cool. She loves the gospel so much! She is so much happier than when I first met her, and she really loves me, so that always makes me feel good :D. I wouldn't trade this for anything. If she is the only person I see baptized it will all be worth it. And I know that we are planting seeds with people here, even if they aren't ready to act on it yet.

My week has been crazy too. We had a huge mission meeting on Wednesday, then another one for the leaders on Thursday, and weekly planning on Friday. So we didn't get to teach as many lessons as usual, but it was a very spiritual week. I'm  getting transferred to Bountiful with Hermana Roades, so that will be interesting. I'm kind of scared, but i know everything will be ok. We got to pick pumpkins on Saturday, and we're carving them with sister Smith (the member we live with) tonight. It's going to be fun. I'm going to miss her so much! ALL of the people. That's the only bad part of being a missionary, you have to leave. This week I got to hold a puppy that was one day old! It was so cute, it's little eyes weren't even open yet! In one of these pics, we are with the elders in our ward and some members, the Garcia family. They're awesome, I love them so much!

One funny thing that happened this week. Saturday we had a lesson with two guys that we met, they live in the same house and one of our investigators, and they were wasted. SO drunk, but they said they'd come to church, and they liked talking about Christ, so that was good. But around 9 that night they called and said that they'd be too hung over to come to church, so they'd try next week haha. Being a missionary is just really awesome. Sometimes we go to random houses of members, because we felt like we should, and they needed us right then and there. It's the most amazing thing to feel the spirit work through you all the time, and to see how it helps the people around you. I love it, you will too! Like this one sister, she's been a member for about 5 years, but her husband is anti, and only lets her go to sacrament meeting. She wants to go to the classes so bad, but she is so grateful to be there just for one hour, it's inspiring. The people here are so amazing. Leaving them will be the hardest thing i've ever done. 

Emily's mail should be sent through the mission office for now as she thinks housing may change. Here is the address:
