And it came to pass That It was another great week in the
field with a few more stories to remember. On our way to district meeting on
Tuesday we stopped to take pictures of the valley. A guy named Ted pulled off
next to us and asked "are you guys Mormons?" We were like ".....
yea :)" He said he had been going through some very hard times and he
wanted us to pray for him right there. (a common occurrence actually) After
finding out that he lived in Running Springs we asked if we could come over.
Yesterday we had our first lesson with Ted. The spirit was strong and he has
committed to be at church this Sunday! He is one of the most promising new
investigators we have had in a while. We have been very blessed
to pick up at least one new investigator each week. Another
miracle that happened this week was when we set a baptismal date with
Lisa Ornalez! It has been hard to get lessons with her the last couple of
transfers, but when we did we were bold. We read 2 Nephi 31 and challenged her
to baptism. These types of lessons are the ones I will remember for years to
come. Her family has been going through some hard times. I know that the gospel
in their lives can heal many wounds. For now Lisa the mother of four
is the only one so far with a date, but we hope that her example will
push her daughters along. In other news I find out if I am going to be
transferred on Saturday. We had Interviews with President Godwin this last
week, and though it was undetermined, He made it seem that I would be
going. I have been here for six months, which is about the length they
want missionaries in one area. I have mixed feelings about
leaving Running Springs, especially with all of the great work we
have been doing lately. But as they say "I'll go where you want to go dear
Lord." I have seen a lot of good happen here In Running Springs. I will
surely miss it. It's a good thing I would only have a five hour drive from home
to get back here. :) Well nothing is for certain just yet so I will let you
know next week. I miss you all soooo much.
