Hola familia!
I hope you all had a great time bringing in the new year! I sure did as I was sleeping soundly! Haha. New Years day was our preparation day and we went to Rochester to play games/sports with our zone. It was a ton of fun! We came back later and had a delicious prime rib dinner with some members.
The whole week was really good. We didn't get to see Brother K this week, but we should hopefully be seeing him tomorrow. S just got back last night from her vacation and is really excited about her baptism next week! Ny is also doing awesome. She is so sweet and loves the gospel. She was out of town the last half of this week. Hopefully now that the holidays are over things will stop being so crazy for everyone!
We had a cool miracle yesterday. About a week ago while on exchanges Hermana Ficklin found a really sweet family from Burma. They don't speak English super well, but if we talk slow enough we can understand each other. We taught them this week again and this Sunday them came to church! There is a mom, dad and two adorable little girls! The girls loved primary and want to come back every week! We are seeing them again tonight. They don't have much of a background on who God or Jesus Christ are, and the Book of Mormon hasn't been translated into Burmese or Karenni which are their languages, so it will be hard to teach them, but we will find a way! Aj speaks no English and there is no Book of Mormon in her language either, but she has such a strong testimony of the gospel and is there every week! All that matters is the Spirit. :)
I am having a hard time focusing on anything else right now because we just got new about transfers. There is bad news and good news. The bad is that I am not going to be staying in Austin. I am a little sad about that just because we are teaching so many people and I really do love it here! I've learned so much and had wonderful experiences and this is exactly where I needed to be. The good news, and to my absolute shock, is that I am going back to Lakeville! There is a new missionary there who has been there for 6 weeks and I will be finishing her training. I am so excited to go back to the place that I love so much. I wish that I had more than a transfer left because I am going to have to say goodbye again so quickly, but I'll take what I can get!!! :)
Love you all, have a great week!
Hermana Pierce
