I was right in my transfer guess!!
I am still in Morton, and I am with sister Loeak!! Its so fun! And Sister Blake is off to Ames, Iowa!
So, Monday and Tuesday were spent packing and cleaning and Sister Blake saying goodbye. Then, Wednesday was Super Pday!!!
And also her birthday! So we, as a zone, surprised her with a party! And then we played some games before heading to dinner with some of our favorite people, the Sluders! And they basically adopted us by giving us their family shirts!
Then, another members bought us... BARBIES!! And Sister Blake's dad sent face masks, so we did those too XD
Last pics with the Peoria Zone Sisters...
On Thursday, I went on exchanges with Hermana Davis while we waited for our new comps to get to Peoria. We had lunch with the elders that were waiting, and then we were told that the new people were going to be 2 hours late! So, we went knocking, and found Debbie! She wasn't too interested at first, but then we shared a scripture from the book of Mormon and she changed her mind! We have a second appointment with her this next week!
Then, I got to meet Sister Loeak! She's so cute!
We went and unpacked for basically the rest of the day. But something funny... We were driving home and she said, it's weird that Illinois doesn't have corn! I was confused, because Illinois has a lot of corn! That's when I realized... All the corn had been harvested! It's gone!
Friday, we weekly planned. Also, we found someone last week that I forgot to mention! Her name is Ashley, and she is pretty cool... she's also a witch! She showed us these candles that she puts the faces of her family on, and does like spells so they don't die... kinda creepy! But she's good, and she believes in Jesus Christ, so we will continue working with her!
On Saturday, we had District Counsel with our new district, which was a party! We played some games and went to lunch. Afterwards, Sister Loeak and I decided to try by a referral who lived in Deer Creek, which is just too far away to get to very often. The address however, took us to some storage units! We were very confused, but we decided to knock on them just in case! And we met Micah! Yes, he lives in a storage unit! It was pretty funny. We are excited to work with him more in the future!
On Sunday, Barb came to church! And miracle right here! So, it was fast and testimony meeting, and the Spirit was so strong! And Barb commented on how she could feel God there! I explained to her that that was the Spirit, and that it testified that what the people were saying was true. Barb then said how she was glad that she came. I asked her if she knew that this church was true. She told us that she thought she did, and how she could never go back to any of the other churches she went to before. I asked her then, if you know its true, don't you feel that you should be baptized? And she said yes! So, we prayed right there for a new date, and we decided on October 20th! I asked her how she felt about that, and she said that it felt good. Sister Loeak instructed her to continue praying about that date every day, and she said she would! We are so excited for her!!
