Another week, a new transfer

Hey everyone-

Another week in the mission field and things are going well. Stockton is great! I love it here and this transfer is going to be the greatest! It's been really easy to adjust to living with 4 sisters instead of 2. I thought it would be a lot harder, but it's really been great! Sister Turley, one of the English sisters, is a hard worker and I'm really excited to get to see how she works, even though I'm not ACTUALLY working with her. It's been great working with Sister Anderson again too. I love this work!

Yesterday (Sunday) was a GREAT day. I don't know why, but Heavenly Father saw fit to bless us (well maybe more me) with so many different miracles. I was playing piano for Sacrament meeting again yesterday, and as I was sitting up on the stand, I got to watch EVERYONE walk into the meeting. Starting with all our recent converts who were all baptized last week, and our other RC's over the last 7 months. And then, the less actives we've been trying to work with for the last 7 months, 2 of them showed up at church yesterday, both of which I was absolutely ecstatic about; but one in particular, Hermano Flores, practically put me on cloud nine. My heart was about ready to burst out of my chest because I was so happy to see everyone! It was amazing.

Then to top it all off, we are teaching Saul's mom, who actually didn't like us at first, how to read; and yesterday she said she wanted us to teach her about the gospel, and she said a prayer thanking Heavenly Father for the change the church has brought in her son and his family's lives. She continued to tell us that just days before we knocked their door, they were actually talking about separating, but then we started teaching them and now they are married and they do everything as a family. Yesterday was one of those days where God gave you a huge peace of humble pie. Probably one of the greatest days of my mission!

Well, I have to go, but I love you all and I hope you have a great week!
