Hello all,
Well, its transfers once again and I'm staying here in the Highlands! This area has really become one of my favorites! There are some really great members here that love and support our missionary efforts. My New companion is Elder Merrill, from Mesa Arizona. I will say though that I was sad to see Elder Dale leave. Together we built up the Renton Highlands and somehow have sparked excitement in missionary work "that the ward hasn't felt in 6 years" one member told us. Plus they trust the missionaries here now! So we need to continue to work hard and keep it up! It is really cool!
We did have an okay week. We both felt like one of us was leaving so we said a lot of goodbyes. But we did have a few cool experiences. We were tracting a neighborhood that we have been in lately. It was cold and somewhat rainy, but we felt like we should keep on going. Eventually we met Shannon, a 30 year old lady that had been to our church a lot as a youth with a family in another ward and has read part of the BOM. Her sister converted about 2 years ago. We were excited when she said that her family had been talking about going back to a church and she invited us to come back. So we'll see where she goes.
We also got a referral named Molly, a 20 year old girl that the Zone Leaders met at the bus station. So we called her Saturday night and invited her to Church and loved it! She even came to a single adult potluck with many single adults in the area held at our amazing ward missionaries house. Unfortunately she doesn't live in our area's boundaries so we passed her off to the sister missionaries there, but she is planning to get baptized soon!
So things are going okay. Although I haven't yet seen someone baptized in this ward I still do see progress in the fact that the ward trusts missionaries here and sees that there are people here to teach. And I feel like that is a good accomplishment.
The Church is true!
