So, Sorry this is on Tuesday again, but it isn't my fault this time.
It is transfer week!
The transfer wasn't all that exciting this time, since we knew Sister
Buckley is going home and I'm staying, but it had an interesting
twist. I wrote a poem to describe the upcoming transfer:
Some transfers are a pain
Others really work your brain
But Transfer 8
It's going to be great
because I'm going to . .
TRAIN!
Yes that's right, folks. I am going to bring a new missionary into the
Florida, Ft. Lauderdale Mission world. Who is she? I have no idea.
I'll let you know next week.
Back to normal things, this week we did some missionary work. We
knocked on several doors and talked to people. We testified a lot and
taught basic principles of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. So basically,
it was awesome, as usual.
This week was a little different because we had to drive to Plantation
on Wednesday for Sister Buckley's departing interview and we saw a lot
of recent converts and went to a SUPER awkward surprise party for the
departing missionary. (Note to everyone, don't plan social events for
missionaries that don't have anything to do with missionary work.
Missionaries can't listen to music or play Taboo or sit around doing
nothing. Plan an FHE or something.)
My favorite part of the week was on Thursday when we went to Institute
and made sure our recent converts were okay there. While sitting there
listening to them read the Family Proclamation, in walks Emmanuel!! We
have had zero contact with him for the past 3 weeks (after we
committed him to be baptized on July 29) and there he is, coming to
Institute all on his own. Turns out he got really sick and had finals.
So then we had a lesson with him on Sunday where we got to teach him
the Plan of Salvation. He's getting baptized on the 19th!
My other favorite part was church. It is usually the best part of the
week because we get to take the Sacrament, but this week, Marvin got
confirmed! And he got the Priesthood! Yay! And, Allan finally came to
church! We've been teaching him for weeks and he finally came to
church. He still isn't so sure about keeping the commandments, but I'm
sure he'll come around!
I love you all! Have a fantastic week! Pray for missionary experiences!
Love, Hermana Sheffield
