My New Companion
Hey everyone I didn't get transferred but I did get a new companion. Her name is Sister Fe'ao. She is from Tonga and Salt Lake.

Monday: Was crazy we had to clean our car really good because we were getting a new car. We also went to Red Lobster to celebrate my and sis woodrufs last day. It was fun. We then went and had dinner/dessert with a member. It was a lot of fun. We then went tracking. It was sad to think of our last tracking day together but it was great.

Tuesday: Was transfers. We had to be there super early so we got up at 5 and left at 630. It was only suppose to take 1 hr and 20 min but traffic and with some roads closed it took us 3 hrs and 30 mins it was a long drive. We got to transfers and I got our new car and met my new companion and headed back to Adrian. It was a day of driving. We get along great. It has been an adjustment to driving and different ways to do things, but we have seen lots of miracles. After that we met with a couple of our less actives and taught them about prayers and why it is important to pray. We then went finding and contacting we were able to meet several potentials that we are seeing this week.

Wednesday: We had district meeting. I got asked to give an instruction on Prayer. I wasn't really nervous any more I have learned to rely on the lord and he will help us. The instruction went great. It is amazing to see the change I have made because before I would just read of the the paper, but know i just look at the paper and say what comes. We then went and met with our investigator Gary, we taught him the BOM and he was super excited to start reading it.

Thursday: We went finding most of the day. It was a lot of fun seeing how different companions are and how they approach people. It was great to see and learn from Sister Fe'ao. She is great. After that we went and saw Dalia. She is a new investigator. She was very interested in learning about the Restoration and finding a new church. She understood the lesson. It was a great lesson.

Friday: We did our weekly planning and called and set up appointments. We then went and met with Cody. We taught him about the Sabbath day and then we moved his baptism date from July 18 to July 3. We are super excited because we will be here at that time. He is so ready to make that covenant. He is progressing so much each week. We then went and saw Meghan. She is doing alright, she is struggling with working on Sundays and wants to come to church so bad. We read and taught her about enduring to the end and to always try and keep to the commitments and reading and praying. God will help us through our trials.

Saturday: We went and met with our investigator Steve. We decided to teach him the restoration with an object lesson. We did and he understood it more and more. He is also going to come to church with us. We then went contacting and saw an man and decided not to talk with him but as we were walking around we saw him again, so we decided we better talk with him. We did and he told us that something told him to come talk with us. His name is Kelly. He has had a rough past but we were able to talk with him about the restoration and he loved learning about. He was very interested in why there is so many different churches. Miracles do happen and God knows who we should talk to and he provides a way.

Sunday: Was church we had 3 of our investigators at church. It was amazing to see what they thought and if they liked it. most of them thought it was different but they liked it. We then went to see Kari. She is a new investigator. We taught her the restoration and the BOM. She loved learning and is going to read the BOM. She was very interested in finding a church and learning about God.

Well That was my week. It was crazy but it was a lot of fun!!! I hope you all have a great week. I love you all!!!
