The week of change...

So! Well.... all that's on my mind right now is transfers... haha I can't even think of what else happened this week so here's the news... I am staying in Brunswick, Maine!!! Yay!!! I'm so happy!! But... Sister Sowards is leaving me... :( sad!! ugh!! I don't like change! I've decided that I need to just get comfortable with being uncomfortable..because it's inevitable! Change is going to happen! But it's okay! Heavenly Father knows what's best and he will help me through it all! This is going to be really hard but really good! I'm really glad that I get to stay in this area for at least another six weeks! :) We still don't know where Sister Sowards is going though... tomorrow we'll get up really early and the Rainey's will take us to Manchester, NH for transfer meeting!!! and then we'll find out where she is going! and then I'll pick up my new companion and get right back to work with her! :D AHHH!!! and I'm freakin out just a little... cuz that means I'm gonna have to be the one in charge since she'll know nothing! Good thing I'm finally starting to get the hang of things here... haha well sort of... :) it will be an interesting week! haha :) So we've just been running around all day today trying to get done everything Sister Sowards wanted to do before she leaves this area! Things in this area are starting to get really good so she's kinda mad she has to leave now...right as things are getting really good... haha but I'm super grateful I get to stay! :) All week we were just waiting and waiting for Saturday to get here so we could get the call... we knew it was coming... and obviously it came... 

I don't really know what else to tell you about our week! We did have a really good week though! Saw lots of less actives and had good lessons with them... still struggling with finding new investigators...but we're doing really well with less actives! We had really good lessons with the Hersoms and with Brother Eldredge this week! With the Hersoms we're still just reading the Book of Mormon with them and it's going really well! We answer all their questions and help them to understand it! They are super busy because they are going to be moving to the Rainey's house and the Rainey's are going to go to Oregon to live closer to their son and be sealed in the temple there!!! So exciting!! but we'll be so sad when the Rainey's leave!! The Hersoms are sister Rainey's parents so they are really motivated by them to get to the temple because they want to be sealed also! So we're still working on getting them to church each sunday and working towards that goal and it's going well!! Sister Sowards wants them to wait just 15 more months... then we'll come back and go to the temple with them! AH! that would be so great :D but maybe they'll get there sooner.. haha :) 

With Brother Eldredge we talked all about the Book of Mormon and daily scripture study! Brother Eldredge just amazes me! Every time we go over there he's done something new and amazing! This past week he started indexing so now he's hooked on that! haha but he's also working on reading the Book of Mormon and still comes every week to Book of Mormon class! We actually had a full class this time! We had Brother Eldredge and Sandy and then Amy came! Sandy is a recent convert and we've been working with her a lot because she was becoming a recent convert/less active...not good!! We were so happy she came to Book of Mormon class! :) and then Amy is just amazing! She's here for college and has come here for the past three years so she knows everyone in the ward and always loves to help the missionaries! She was baptized just a few years ago and she's just great! She helps us when we don't have a car and is always willing to come to lessons with us! So she's just wonderful and we are so lucky to have her!! 

We had a few other lessons with less actives this week and then our only lesson with an investigator was Greg... He is slowly but surely starting to open up! We had a really good lesson with him about the importance of family home evening and it went really well!! I always love the lessons when I get to talk about my wonderful amazing family!!! The spirit is always so strong and I sure do have a testimony that families can be together forever!! :) AH!! I'm just so grateful for this gospel!!! It's so amazing!!! I love seeing the changes that are happening in people's lives and seeing people make it to the temple to be sealed with their families!!! :D So I guess that's the change that I do like... haha change is hard...but good! :) and speaking of change...the weather is also starting to change!! the leaves are just starting to change and falling off the trees! Fall is definitely in the air!! So it's gonna be a week of change but lots of good to come!! :) wish me luck!! LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH!!! :)
