Letter #47

Sent:	Mon 1/27/14 3:45 PM

Hi mom!

Today is transfer day! I am staying here in Coquille and my new companion is Sister Nealy! I already knew who she was cause she's been in my district for the past 6 weeks. She seems really spunky and like a very diligent missionary so I'm super excited :) This morning one of our members took both of us to the transfer spot in Eugene..  We had to leave at 5:00 this morning so we weren't able to find another member that I could stay with so I had to go along for the ride which was fine but I guess I wasn't supposed to be there....... Probably because Trevor was there!! And guess what?!?!?! We got to talk for a few minutes! The AP's called President Young and got permission. We weren't able to talk for as long as we both would have liked but it was still really really great to see him!

This week was another pretty great one! It was quite the roller coaster with one of our investigators (he pretty much dropped us, and then was begging for us to still meet with him) but all is good now. Our other investigators are progressing quite well too so we are super excited about that! Between the Elders in our ward and us, we have 10 people on date for baptism! Coquille is on fire and we can all feel it. OH! So, super cool miracle happened last Friday. I had been feeling really impressed to go tracting on a particular street and the first door we knocked on a women answered the door and said, "That is really strange that you are standing here on my porch because I just got done praying 5 minutes ago asking God for guidance and direction in my life, because I just got out of a really bad relationship." We talked to her about prayer and how Heavenly Father is in the very details of our lives. She then went on to say, " So, when can you come back?" We were so stoked! Every time we have an experience like that or even the small miracles we see each day, it strengthens my testimony exponentially. I love this work more than anything and I am so grateful for the opportunity I've been given to dedicate this time of my life to our Lord and Savior.

I got your package! Thank you so much! I definitely will be using the leggings! I got your letter as well and it made me tear up a bit. I am so happy that you are watching the Preach My Gospel DVD's! Aren't they awesome?? We watch them every week, especially during training. And I absolutely LOVED Weston's picture! I hung it up on my wall and it makes me smile every time I see it! I sure miss those kiddos!

I hope that everything back home is going well and that you have a wonderful week! I will try my best to respond to your letter today! I love you so much!

Love,

Lynds :)
