Transfers

Well, this week was good old transfers and I am now being "golden busted" Elder Bruneel has been transfered out to Dusseldorf and I am now taking over the area with a guy who came out 6 weeks before I did...sweet. We´re going to rock it out here hahaha. We actually ended up having 5 new investigators this week but one of them gave us a call this Sunday and she basically told us that she didn´t want any more contact. She was nice about it though, which doesn´t happen to often so at least she put the buffer up when she rejected us XD Sometimes we´re just planting seeds, either way the gospel will roll forth!! This week was actually pretty hard. I didn´t really notice it to much during the early parts of the week but around Thursday is when things really started to kick in. I think the Lord likes to give me the weekly "refiners fire" I would assume that I had learned by now not to get too prideful but alas, my head needs to lose some serious swelling. We had a lot of appointments scheduled and just everything dropped out. It was a little disappointing because we were really excited for some of these appointments. We kept chugging along though and on Friday we ended up getting 4 new investigators. Oh and just so you know, with investigators you won´t normally consider them an actual investigator until you´ve taught them a lesson and they have a return appointment...continuing on haha. So we had a basketball appointment with this guy named Annestus in the church. (he´s from greece) And he ended up bringing three of his friends so we had some pretty solid basketball going which was a lot of fun!! Afterwards we were able to give them a church tour and we started out in the family history center. I was able to tell the story about...oh no, I just spaced on the name...well one of the people on our family tree...hahaha I´ll just call it the story of the rocks. It was sweet though, talking about how the rocks were too hot and eventually he found out he had gone over the rattle-snake den etc. And these guys were just soaking it in!! They were so excited to do family history you wouldn´t believe it!! After that we were able to go over the first vision, prophets, etc. and they just ate it up. We then went to the sacrament room and we talked about the sacrament and such and they were so quiet and respectful.

They then took the Greek Book of Mormons from us and they wouldn´t let go of them XD and they just kept saying, "Can I really have this? You really want to give this to me?" Just so great!! We´re going to be meeting with them again on Saturday and hopefully a couple times next week. Either way I hope that everything is going so well for you all!! I just want to end this with my new favorite scripture that I found last week. It´s in 2 Nephi 4. It´s nephi´s psalm and it really was so empowering to me. I hope that you all take the time to read it, especially verse 26 to the end, It really is so great!! I just can´t get enough of how special the scriptures have become to me. The amount of insight that we can gain from it is immense. Turn to them often, I didn´t do that as much as I should have before the mission and I truly regret it. You all are so awesome! The church is true!! Enjoy conference and Happy Belated Birthday to all those that I haven´t said happy birthday to. You know who you are...even though I don´t ;) Hehehe okay I do, at least, I think I know them all. Either way, happy birthday!!

Tschüss!
