This week we got transfer calls! Sis Stockdale is leaving me and going down to Agua Dulce, which is a little town south of Palmdale. I am going to be staying in the Laurel Glen ward for the 4th transfer in a row and will be training! We were joking with Moises (a member) and said that we got told to leave in a meeting. He said “Wow, prayers really are answered!” but he likes to joke around with us so he promised he wasn’t serious about the prayer thing. He’s really sad to see Sis Stockdale go, but I think he’s also excited to meet the new sister. I’ll find out who my trainee is tomorrow morning after the training meeting.
There have been some changes to how training is done since I last trained and I’m interested to see how. We potentially are going to be on bike again, but I haven’t heard anything so far. Apparently they are going to take away 19 cars over the next 2 transfers and because we have one of the smallest areas, it makes sense that we would get booted out. But our STLs and Zone Leaders haven’t heard anything, and I don’t want to ask and potentially remind the office that they are going to take away our car, so I’m just going to cross my fingers and hope for the best when I show up tomorrow. I really wouldn’t mind being on a bike again (especially since it won’t be the temperature of the sun here) but it’s definitely more convenient to be in a car.
Not a whole lot happened this week. We went out and talked to people a lot and someone wants us to come back! Her name is Samantha and she’s into photography. She was interested in reading the Book of Mormon so that’s awesome! We have a lesson with her this week and another lesson with Rayvon. Both are potential YSA age, but we’ll see what happens.
We had Stake Conference this week and it was really good! We had a guest speaker come and he was really funny and engaging. When he got up to speak he said he had planned something, but felt like he should talk about something else. He spent most of his time talking about President Russell M Nelson and how he really is the prophet of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He met President Nelson both before he was the prophet, and after he became the prophet, and he said there was a noticeable difference. When he shook the prophet’s hand, he felt a rush of power sweep over him that caused him to freeze where he was standing as tears blinded him. President Eyring shook his hand next and guided him away from the prophet so other people could shake his hand too. He then talked about something Wendy Nelson (President Nelson’s wife) said as well about the change she has seen in her husband. I’m not sure why he felt it was so important to talk about President Nelson, but it was really cool and reaffirmed my testimony that President Nelson is the prophet of God.
Ciao,

Someone was trying to be like the LA temple:
I told Sis Stockdale she should go knock doors in that dress:
