Transfer 2 - Week 1 - February 25, 2013

Hey family!

So not much going on here this week. Everyday seemed more casual than the previous weeks. Maybe it is my fault for not writing down all the miracles but I blame it on sickness. This is the second time I have been sick since being out here. I keep thinking it is allergies but yet the benadryl, and sudaphed don't work. I can't breathe through my nose and my throat is swollen so it just hurts super bad. I keep thinking that maybe if God loves me enough and I have faith I can ask for a blessing not to get sick the rest of my mission lol. That would be a true blessing. But hey, our mission president had a conference call with us and was talking about blessings and it really is dependent on your faithfulness. He even told the story of how Emma Smith wanted a blessing so Joseph told her to write down everything that she wanted and then he would sign it! Crazy right!

Well as far as our investigators some of them aren't looking to well. On valentines day there had been two that had dropped us and I was kinda forgetting about them but yesterday in church I felt like maybe I should fast for them and then go see them again. Not sure why though. That really sounds crazy. But hey, it is worth a shot...and if it doesn't work out, then thats alright too because at least I would have done my part.

On other good news. We have been teaching an 8 yr old boy. His mom is less active and her boyfriend/fiancee who isn't a member has been sitting in on all the lessons, and then she will text us and tell us about how he likes it and said that it makes sense why he should get baptized! That is super awesome. He came to the branch party we had on Friday and was going to come to church but then ended up having tons of appendix problems? they think and ended up going to the hospital last night. It's nuts, but we are still going to see them today. I hope all goes well and that he can start to see how this can be important for him in his life.

Love you all!

Love,
