Buenas Tardes!
I'm not really sure how it is even possible that this transfer is over. The good news is that Hermana Ficklin and I are both staying in Austin!! We are super happy!
This past week was awesome. We had lots of great lessons and saw many miracles like always. I have been adding to my list of things I'm grateful for every day and I have just been so happy as I have realized how blessed I am. It's amazing that such a little thing as writing down a few things every day could make such a huge impact in my life. We've also continued to work on 'staying on the line' and I really wish I would have learned this lesson at the beginning of my mission because things just go so much better! Even when they don't go how we plan, they work out!
One night this week we had dinner with Gh and two members, one who is a recent convert. She was baptized a few weeks before I came. It went really well and it was a good opportunity for Gh and also our recent convert who was able to share her testimony and how she has developed it so far. Slowly but surely things are changing with him!
Brother K is also doing amazing. We were able to teach him with a few different members this week and he is liking things more and more! He is in Rochester every other weekend so it has been difficult getting him to church, but hopefully this Sunday he can come so that he will really be able to progress!
I think I had mentioned that C has a friend living with her. Gi has been learning about the gospel for several weeks, but this week something amazing happened. We had taught them about prayer and she did what we committed her to do. She prayed every day the way we had described- we had talked about not trying to change God's will, but to find out what He wants us to do- and she saw dramatic differences in her life. She felt God's love, got a job, and several other things worked out for her too. She decided she really wants to quit her addictions and her and Cindy even came to church yesterday! I honestly didn't think that Gi would change so quickly, but the Lord prepares His children and we do not know who He is preparing!
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving! I'm so grateful for my family, my friends, my mission and the amazing people here, the restored gospel of Jesus Christ, the chance I have to repent every day because of the atonement, and so many more things the Lord continues to bless me with!! Love you all!
