Hey y'all!
I feel like there is not much to update y'all on this week. It is crazy and exciting that this is the last week of my first transfer in the field! It still doesn't feel like I am a real life missionary!
We had a decent week, it is super nice that things are picking back up after the holidays! We are sad that our only progressing investigator is moving this week though :( she is only moving to Midland so she will still be in our zone and we can hear when she is finally able to get baptized. She is so ready if she will only find somewhere to live on her own! We have what will probably be our last lesson with her tonight. So while we are sad to lose her we did get 2 new investigators this week!! One of them is named Roger, he was a media referral (that means he requested materials online). We went to give him his bible and taught him the Restoration. He seems interested in learning more, we have an appointment with us this week and we are bringing a recent convert with us. Roger is from West Africa, he is here for school, he just finished and is now working. It is actually really nice because he just lives across the parking lot from us. Our other new investigator was a member referral. Our assistant ward mission leader used to live right next to him and he gave us his phone number because he is going through a hard time right now. We got the referral before Christmas but he has been out of town. We decided to text him to set up an appointment for this week and he told us he was going out of town that night but we could come over in an hour if we wanted. We were excited but he is single so we had to find someone to go with us. He then texted back that we could meet him at a coffee shop right by his work. It really was a miracle. He seems genuinely interested in learning more and finding out for himself if this is true. When he gets back into town we are so excited to teach him the Plan of Salvation because we know how much comfort he can receive from that message especially.
Like I said, not to many different things this week. This week Sister Acosta got some news though. On Thursday night we came out of a lesson to see that President Heap had called us, which is extremely unusual. She had had a hard time her first transfer with anxiety so we guessed he was maybe calling about that. When we got home we called him back and he told her that her brother had been trying to get a hold of her to let her know her dad had a small heart attack. Everything is fine and he is already home but of course it shook her up a bit. We really don't know anything other than that yet. I know she would appreciate prayers for him and her.
