Week 1 of Transfer 10

Hello everyone, it's been an exciting first week of the transfer! Navigating through this crazy town is next to impossible but luckily my comp Sister McKinnon is super patient. We work so well together and she is such a powerful missionary. We have lots of fun too. The work is just going so great! We picked her up on Wednesday and we've been so busy every day!

As for Libby (girl from McDonald's) we met with her TWICE this week and taught her the Restoration and Plan of Salvation. Her brother came to one of the lessons as well! We are trying to get her to church but she is so open minded about everything and she always does what we invite her to do. She is honesty the best! I can't wait to see what happens with her.

I didn't share this last week but as a mission, we did something called 'Miracle Monday'. We set a goal to find 2 new friends per companionship that day. We spent the entire day finding in the Town Centre and I stopped and talked to Ashley (male) and found out that some months ago he was on a flight to Seattle to live there for a few months. When he landed, they denied him entrance to the country because of an issue with his visa. They sent him home and on that flight, he met a woman from our church who gave him a Book of Mormon and testified of it! What a seed! He admitted to me that he hadn't read the book yet but he'd open it later that day. We met with him later that week and taught him the Plan of Salvation. He loved it and we are seeing him again tomorrow!

Well other than that, and just running around the area aimlessly, not much else happened this week! My companion shared with me a scripture that I just love found in D&C 123:17 "Therefore, dearly beloved brethren, let us cheerfully do all things that lie in our power; and then may we stand still, with the utmost assurance, to see the salvation of God, and for his arm to be revealed."
Sometimes it's hard to feel like a successful missionary but this scripture promises that if we do our very best that the God will lend His hand. I know this is Lord's work. I know that each of us has a role to play and the Lord deserves our very best!

Sorry if this email was lame! Next week will be better!
Love you all! Have a good week!
