Week #78- always learning how to overcome the challenges that we face!

Today we will receive the transfers, so we will find out what will happen, if I leave or if I am going to stay one more transfer. This morning we made pancakes for breakfast and they were so good. This week was awesome we had some good success and we have helped the area progress a lot this transfer. There is still a lot of room to improve, but I feel good with what we have done this transfer. This transfer has been a little crazy with the emergency transfers and everything, but I have learned a lot. Just a few weeks ago we were wondering how we were going to manage the area, and now we have settled into a rhythm and we are doing good. We have amazing investigators that we hope will progress. Yesterday I was invited to a baptism in my last area, and President Boswell gave me permission to go. It was really awesome to see all of the members and everyone from Las Magnolias. Yesterday we weren’t able to proselyte for very long, because of the baptism, but the baptism helped me remember what my purpose is. It has been a while since I have had a baptism. Yesterday gave me more energy to challenge our investigators to be baptized. I really want a baptism, and I feel like I will have one soon, and then of course take them to the temple. I am ready for whatever the transfers say, I know that whatever happens it is for the best. I always learn from my companions and from the people that we teach, always learning how to overcome the challenges that we face.
