So another uneventful week here in Odessa. Transfer calls came and our whole district will be here for another 6 weeks! We are also getting 2 new sisters added so that should be exciting!
We don't have a lot of time today because sister Acosta is pretty sick so we have to get home. I will just tell you about the most eventful part of our week. We have a city called Crane in our area and no one really goes out there because it is a tiny town where the few members there are less active and all the investigators have been dropped. Crane is about 40 minutes south of our house. We decided to go out there one day because we had a referral about half way there in a place called Pleasant Farms (I think) people kind of make fun of it cause they are not really sure what it belongs to and people say it is not a city so they just call it a "place" not a town haha. The referral didn't answer so we headed the rest of the day to Crane. We tried all the less actives and none of them answered or the address didn't exist or the house did not look like anyone still lived there so we made our way to the last place and there was someone sitting on the front porch. We asked for the person we were coming to see and he yelled to her that someone was here to see her. She came out, took one look at us and invited us in very happily! We were so excited! She has been a member for about 2 years and was so sad when they pulled the church and missionaries out of Crane. She is a truck driver and so she is not able to make it to church but she told us that she uses LDS.org to study which is awesome! She was super nice and she wants to be able to go to the temple. We are hoping to be able to make it down to Crane at least once a transfer to at least see her. It was an awesome experience to see how us showing up was an answer to her prayers!Monday, January 16, 2017
