Hello all!!

 

It is TRANSFER WEEK!!! woohoo! We will get the 'phone call' tomorrow saying if i am staying, or if sister dent is staying or if we are BOTH staying. I'm pretty sure I'll be staying, at least i hope so. I really want to be here through Christmas. But i guess its what the Lord has planned not me right?! So make sure if you send any mail today until next week that it goes to the mission office address in independence, so that way it doesnt' come to Junction City if I'm not here.

 

 

 

 

 

This week has been good. We had our two that got baptized last week get confirmed this week. It is so fun to have people baptized and then receive the gift of the holy ghost. That is such a AMAZING and precious gift, i am so excited for them to receive that!!! Anthony has left for a month to go to Texas for a army training, which is a bummer, but we are glad he got the holy ghost before he left. Lee Ann is just doing great, she came to the super Saturday on Saturday and had a blast making crafts, she is starting to get more comfortable in the ward, all sorts of good stuff. On of our other investigators who hasn't came to church or anything yet came to super Saturday, IT WAS SO AWESOME!!! she got to meet our amazing women in the ward and get to know people and make some crafts, which she LOVES to do. So it was fun to have her there. Now when she does come to church there will be people who she knows and she will feel more comfortable. So we are way excite for her. This week we got surprised and have another district meeting, which we usually don't have on transfer week, but we do this week!!! so i am excited for that.

 

 

OH AND THE BIG NEWS.....our zone leader Elder Seely is the NEW ASSISTANT TO THE PRESIDENT!!!! We totally knew he was going to be the new AP, because the AP's came out to Manhattan for a like 4 day long exchange. So Elder Seely is the big guy in town now. It will be fun to see him at zone conferences and all that. He will be a great AP.

 

 

 

 

This week was fun on Saturday night we had dinner at the FAMOUS Humbard home. And the sisters from Manhattan surprised us and showed up!!!! so it was a BIG PARTY!!! we had SO MUCH FOOD....i totally over-ate....but it was AMAZING. it was this total breakfast buffet.Biscuits and gravy, eggs, bacon, muffins, fruit, Cinnamon rolls....oh it was AMAZING!!! we really enjoyed it. and of course the AMAZING Humbard family provided the best comedy of the night. we were all laughing so hard the entire time!!! I will attach a picture we took with Brother Humbard, he cracks me and everyone else up. He is awesome! Last night we had FHE at the pace's which is another AMAZING family in our ward, we had 3 families all together and had a great family home evening, and they made some amazing cookies, i will not admit how many i ate.....they were SMALL OKAY?!!? ;)

 

 

 

So yea, things are going pretty good. I am excited to see what changes happen this week and hope that whatever happens I'll be happy, personally i would love it if everything stayed the same, i love this area and our district. But i doubt that will happen.

 

Love you all lots!!
