It's crazy, I've been out for 3 months!
Two transfers down and I am done being trained as a missionary. I'm
now a regular junior companion :).
Even more crazy, I'm getting a new
companion tomorrow! My Trainer is moving on to become a Sister
Training Leader and I am staying here in Burlington and receiving a
new companion tomorrow as my senior companion. I will miss Sister
Vanderhoef so much! But I'm glad she can spend her last transfer on
her mission as a sister training leader :).
This past week has been a great last
week with her, too! We were able to spend a lot of time with members
since we had 5 meal appointments with either a member, less-active
member, or investigator. It was fun spending time with everyone
during meals because it is so much easier to get to know people when
you're just sitting down for dinner.
Lesson-wise we were able to focus a lot
on the needs of those we teach as we taught the Restoration to one of
our investigators and she said it answered a ton of her questions.
Then, we committed her to go visit the JSM (Joseph Smith Memorial)
with us in September and she accepted! So, we get to drive down with
her and a member next month and visit the JSM! :D We are really
excited to be able to do that. We were also able to teach about the
Plan of Salvation to another investigator, which was nice because we
were able to hear a lot of her concerns and help her understand how
the gospel can help her through these things. She really opened up
and said she wants to come to church with us! So we will be bringing
her not this Sunday (she is out of town) but next Sunday, and we are
so excited!
To wrap up the week we had an amazing
day at church! When we told everyone that Sister Vanderhoef was
getting transferred they started gushing over us and telling us how
much they'll miss her and how grateful they are for the work we do
and everything! It was amazing because it helped reassure us that the
ward really does want to help us in every way they can and they care
so much about us. We are so grateful to be in such a wonderful ward!
The work is definitely a marvelous one!
