Transferred!

Hey everybody! Sooo... Last night we got our Transfer Calls, and I'm leaving Hondo  :( haha, I don’t want to go, I love this ward, and we found allot of sweet people this last week. Oh well. So Wednesday Morning I go to San Antonio, and on Thursday I find out where I'll be going and who my companion is. Knowing my luck (especially after being blessed with an awesome companion in and awesome area) I'll go somewhere in the middle of San Anton or Austin on a bike... But maybe I'll get lucky and go to another country area =D  Haha, I guess I just have to wait and see what the Lord has in store for me.

This week was awesome, we gave service for an old lady in town. We got a less active family to help us clear a field of weeks and move some dirt, it was the best! Jeans never felt so nice. I got some big old blisters to get rid of my Girly Hands, and wore in my cowboy boots a little :) haha It was sweet.

I got to go on exchanges with Elder Povey our District leader, that was really fun.

On Saturday I got to get down and dirty and fix a members riding lawnmower. Fixing stuff is the best!

Haha well that’s my random week. Next week I'll be in a new area with a new companion... So I'll tell you all about it then! have a good week, love,

Dilley, Cops and Talks

 

Hello Everybody! This week was a little slower than last week. A lot of our plans and lessons fell through too. Ugh, oh well. We hitched a ride with a member down to Dilley again to teach our investigator down there. It was really fun, and our Investigator is doing great!  His work schedule won’t let him come to church but once a month, but he's reading and praying and doing his best.  The Investigator (Ed) who was supposed to be baptized yesterday didn’t show up for church. We had a really hard time meeting with him last week too. Hopefully we can get him back on board and get him re-committed.

We had the cops called on us once, just because we parked our truck next to a paranoid guy who had his house robbed a few days before. He thought we were the robbers coming back.  We ended up talking to him for a little and the cop that came too. It was pretty cool :)

On Sunday we walked in to Ward Council meeting and were informed that we had to give a talk in sacrament meeting! So, short notice. The High Council speaker and his 2 other speakers thought they were speaking next week, and at a different building. So he was the only one able to make it this week, and he asked us to fill in the other two talks! AH! haha 14 months without giving a single talk isn’t bad right? I think I did pretty good! Elder Johnson ended up giving an awesome inspired 15 min talk, and shared like 3 scriptures and a short testimony then sat down, and the High Council rep talked for the remaining 7 min, So yes, Elder Johnson talked longer than the main speaker haha. It was a good talk though.  Good times.

Other than that I don’t have any crazy stories. We did allot of knocking and finding new investigators.  Next Sunday we get our Transfer calls to see if were leaving or staying... I've been here for four and a half months... so I'm probably leaving :( but we’ll see were the Lord needs me I guess.

Thanks for everything guys, I love you all.
