Happy p-day everyone:) For me this week was wild! Lots of crazy things happened! For some odd reason our Wednesday was packed with 6 lessons. One of them was a missionary visit that a member referred us to. We were told that she wasn't a member but was interested in learning more so of course we went to visit her. It wasn't until half way through from getting to know her that we saw a Come Follow Me church book sitting on her side table. We asked if she does the lessons in the Come Follow Me church book with anyone and she said how she does it with the other members in the ward. She said that she is in the other stake. Once we left the house we were dead! It explains why she wasn't in our area book. This is because she is already a member! It was awesome getting to know her but definitely a plot twist!
I thought that I would share the meaning of the subject of this line! On Friday night we went to deliver a Bible to a man that requested one from a free Bible advertisement. As we pulled up we saw some people doing yard work. We first gave the Bible to the man, then after we stopped to talk to the other people that were working in the yard. The mom asked if we are Christians and we said yes, she told us she has a teenage daughter that she wants us to meet because she has questions that the mom doesn't know how to answer. We told her how we would come back after our appointment! When we returned the daughter didn't seem interested to talking with us, but we broke the ice and she eventually opened up to us! It was great getting to know her, and we talked about who Christ is and we give her a Bible! At the end the daughter told us they have animals and could show us them. We couldn't say no! They had bunnies, birds, chickens and goats!! It was a great random surprise to meet this family and they said how they want us to come back over to talk to her more and they can make us Colombian food!!
TRANSFER NEWS!! Saturday night we found out the Sister Anderson is leaving and I am staying in the area. I am super excited and nervous at the same time! On Wednesday we will go to the church building in Peachtree GA and our leaders will tell us who our new companions are and we will then switch.
Yesterday we had dinner with a family in the Spanish ward and after we had a little baptism lesson with their son Adam because he is getting baptized next week! We asked Adam why he wants to be baptized and he said with the biggest smile on his face "Because I want to follow Christ forever" I thought it was the cutest response ever. How cool is that statement though? An 8 year old boy has the biggest desire to follow Christ and knows that Christ is so important! Just like Adam, I too know that Christ is important and desire to follow Christ forever! I hope that you all can find ways to follow Christ this week and to share his love!
