Training a new Comp Week 13

I had to say goodbye to Sister Bromley this week. Honestly, that sucked. Ah I do miss her very much. It was like saying goodbye to another best friend. No fun. It's okay we've already planned to back pack Europe and about a million other trips after our missions though.
Anddddd I picked up Sister McCullough on Tuesday!! She's wonderful! I got lucky again so that's nice. We've had a pretty successful week! Her first day here I planned a lot of solid appointments, maybe a little over whelming but it was a good way to start. Also Her first day here the guy that lives below us comes knocking at our door. Which was strange, he's never done that before. And he's like "do you want to go to the movies with me?" 😂 so we said "no we can't go to the movies" and he was so confused. But I told him he could come to church with us instead and he finally agreed... he didn't come of course. But hey some day.
(Greenie Breakfast :) )
We saw him last night when we were running in from a rain storm. And I just yelled "Hey you liar you didn't come to church!" And he's like "iiiii knowwwww" Everyday we see him "off again girls?" "Byeeeee girlllls" hahaha I can't describe the way he says it but it's so funny. Makes my day. Also we lost our car hahah. So we will be biking for sure every other week now, and sharing with another set of sisters. I'm fine with it. I figure if gods gonna make me bike, he will make sure I meet more people he wants me to meet that way.
Two of our investigators are on date to be baptized. The wife of the couple we've been teaching for February 4th. The man we took the temple last week for March 4th. Satan is a real bratt, the closer you get to something good, the more he works on you. It's easy to forget that when god knows your ready for something and sees the potential in you, that Satan knows it too. So when you feel real bad about yourself just think "oh I only feel this way cause Satan knows how great I am and he hates it." So It's been really important for us to visit the wife frequently getting closer to her baptism. But I know she's ready. Even yesterday she was inviting people at church to her baptism. The husband is just moving slower, a lot of the problem is that we haven't been able to see them. And their finical situation is brutal. They were literally completely out of food this week. So we bagged up all the bulk food members have given to us and the frozen meat and gave it to them.
Also the one we passed off to YSA is getting baptized on the 11th! And so sweet, he texted the elders and asked if they would please make sure Sister Bromley and I were there:) Some good ol' miracles: -We had a lesson with this one less active member who isn't on the records and invited him to come to church. When we texted him he never responded. But then he showed up! -A lady in our Ward was at Ross looking for picture frames and she met this kid, and she ended up talking to him for 2 hours and gave him our number. He called us and went to mutual and he came to church yesterday. And we met him and taught him a lesson and he's super interested in knowing more. It's super cool too because he's in high school and going through a rough time and I think well okay that I definitely know we have the answers for you, because I've been there.
Also we finally saw one of our investigators this week and she was so grateful we stopped by. She has been super busy with nursing school, but we set an appointment for next week. And she asked us to send her specific scriptures so she could read and she really wants to come to church next week as well. So I'm really excited for that.
Oh and we stopped by these former investigators house the other day. They were this sweet couple from New York. They weren't really interested because they aren't into organized religion. But he was a painter, and he showed me all his paintings and then gave one to me! It had mountains and trees and reminded me so much of home so I nearly cried looking at it. I will have to send it home.
We had an amazing first lesson the other day with this guy we met a few weeks back. Apparently he already had a Book of Mormon. But he was interested in learning more. We had to teach him even what the Holy Ghost was because that concept was completely foreign to him. I think he's the third Muslim I've taught actually. It was a goood weeeek my friends, looking forward to more Love you
