Rama!

Hello Family!! Yesterday was seriously one of the best days ever. It was the first meeting for the Lakeville 2nd Branch and I felt the Spirit stronger than I probably ever have felt it in a Sacrament Meeting. Total there were 48 people there including the Stake Presidency and also President and Sister Clements! There were also a few others that normally go to Lakeville that came so it wasn't all native Spanish speakers, but still! For us it was a big deal that we had more than 15 people haha! The new Branch Presidency was called and the Spirit definitely confirmed that those were the people that were meant to be called. We are so excited to work with them and this new branch!

Today we found out about transfers and Hermana Rawlins and I are both staying here! We were 99% sure we would be, and then 100% yesterday when we talked to President Clements yesterday. We have a ton of work to do and are really happy! Also, President is going to bring in two new Spanish speaking Elders next transfer! I hope that with all of the changes that I will be able to stay more time too. I can't believe this is my 6th transfer! Time is going too fast.
A and her family came to church yesterday and loved it! Her husband's name turns out to be Jo M but he actually goes by M. The kids loved primary and they stayed for all 3 hours. We are teaching them tomorrow and then A also signed up to feed us dinner on Friday! How sweet?! They are both preparing to be baptized on May 24. Keep them in your prayers!
O has had another little episode of having too much work. We are seeing him tomorrow as well so hopefully it goes well. It's difficult because he is ready and knows it is true, but he just won't consistently follow through with his commitments. We still have hope for him, but we'll see! When elders do come into this area they will teach him instead and hopefully will be able to have success.
The rest of our investigators are continuing to do well and we are also praying hard that we can continue to find more people, especially families that we can teach and bring to our ramatita (little branch). This week has been kind of crazy trying to meet with active members and less actives to let them know about the changes and so there aren't too many updates with them! The work is moving so fast and we are so grateful to be a part of it! Have a great week, love you tons!
Love, Hermana Pierce
