Transfer Time...

Okay, now the big news for this week...as I have already mentioned, it is transfer time!  I'm leaving this area to go further South.  We found out late last week that I am getting transferred.  I will be leaving within the coming week.  I'm really excited! It's weird to think about a mission away from this area, because up to this point, I have spent my whole time here.  But, I am ready for the adventure.  I hear it's a completely different culture.  There are a lot more missionaries there and I'll actually be using Spanish.

 Well, I'll tell you for sure what it's like next week.  

 

Wish me luck,

Sister (soon to be Hermana) Bettinson

Helping People

My favorite part of this week was visiting with a certain family.  We have met regularly with them almost the entire time I have been in this area.  When we met with them last weekend the lady of the house was stressed and had called us asking us to come.  We went over and listened to her, then shared a scripture with her about how the Holy Ghost comforts us.  It was a very sweet experience and I know she felt the Spirit very strongly.  She came to church and stayed all three hours.  It is so wonderful to be able to help people.

Mega Referrals!

This past week, we were also able to meet so many of our goals!  We have a goal of four referrals each week and we ask anyone and everyone for them, but we haven't had any success in the last few weeks.  But yesterday, we received 17 referrals from a member in the ward.  We had dinner with her last night and while we were talking to her, the referrals just kept flowing.  I think just with that contact we have enough referrals to make up for the weeks this transfer when we fell short of our goal.
