TRANSFERS!

So Transfers... Sister Dastrup was transfered to East Sac again, and I am staying down here in Stockton--same area, but covering half of another area for 6 weeks until we get more Spanish Elders, and serving with Sister Anderson again (My "Mom" AKA trainer) for her last transfer before she goes home. They are also bringing down another set of English sisters again, so that should be interesting... Lots of changes but I know that we are going to learn a ton!

So this last week was NUTS! Sister Dastrup and I were so busy planning the wedding for Saul and Maria and teaching all 6 of our firms getting them ready for their baptism on Sunday. IT WAS AWESOME! and let me just say, the Lord had EVERYTHING to do with it and Sister Dastrup and I had NOTHING to do with it. We both agree that this was our worst transfer personally. There was so much opposition and so many times when we were just waiting for it all to come crashing down around us; but it's true what has been said, "Nothing can stop the work from progressing" because if it could, we might have ruined it long ago... Anyway, the WEDDING was awesome. So many members were so helpful and the wedding and reception only cost $20 in total (for plates and cups); everything else was donated from other weddings and borrowed from everyone! It looked way good. We are going to get a copy of pictures from Rafael and I'll send them to you! It was so great to see them married and the Spirit was so strong because they were doing something God wanted them to do.

Then Sunday they were baptized along with their son Sesar, Maria Patino's mom, Antonia, and Jose and Leticia Martinez, two kids from a member family! It was a great baptism and the members were all extremely supportive! It was such a wonderful and humbling transfer. I can't tell you why Heavenly Father blessed us so much to get to know these wonderful people and be apart of their conversion, but it has definitely been a very humbling experience.

I don't really have anymore time to write, that's how crazy this day has been. So I'll close for now and write more next week. Let me just say, Stockton hasn't gotten there yet, but it's about ready to bust through that barrier that's standing in between average missionary work and the missionary work where MILLIONS of miracles are waiting; and I'm gonna be here to see it and be a part of it!

I love you all! Have a great week

Love Always
