Week 50: Transfers!

Well, I'm not becoming a Spanish sister like some people guessed, but I am getting transferred! My new area is in the same stake but a little over an hour's drive from Woodstock. Also, it's in West Virginia so I get to serve in all the states of our mission haha! I will miss Woodstock dearly. It has been one of the greatest blessings to serve here. I love the people. I love the ward. It just feels like home, but new adventures and experiences certainly lie ahead with my new companion, Sister Fanga (from Tonga I believe), and all the people I will meet.

So, an update on this past week. After talking with her parents, Keysi was not able to get permission to be baptized this past Saturday, but hope is not lost! Keysi's mom and dad still think that learning about the Church has been a really good thing for Keysi and are still open to her being baptized some time in the future. It may take some time but I am sure that it will happen eventually!

We also taught our investigator Rosemary this week and she is awesome! She loves learning and she is super smart! We talked about the Book of Mormon with her and she is so excited to start reading it! She expressed some concerns about her personal life but we were able to talk it out with her and she is now really optimistic to keep meeting with us!

We also had an awesome visit with Morgan and Sister Dykes! We watched "Joseph Smith: Prophet of the Restoration" and the Spirit was so strong! Sister Moore and I both learned so much more from the movie that specific time watching it! They both loved the movie but we didn't have any time to talk about it after because it ended at 9:25 and we are supposed to be in our apartment by 9:30. We made it, though! 9:29! Good thing they live close to us haha! They will be on a cruise this week! We hope and pray that they keep reading the Book of Mormon!

We started teaching another part-member family this week! There is a woman in our ward named Sister Vincent. Her granddaughter Megan takes care of her so we started teaching her this week! We have a hard time with keeping appointments but we're usually able to catch her if we drop by and she's really good at reading and praying and all that good stuff! So, we have high hopes for her!

Well, that was all for this week! I love you all and thank you for everything you do!

Love,

Sister Lewis
