Long Time No Write!

Hello everyone, So these past couple weeks have been great. First of all I am staying in Lorna again!!! 5th transfer- oh yeah. Sister Schroeppel and I are staying together, but we have two new sisters living with us who are over the Hoover and Alabaster ward. They are great and it will be a great transfer! Highlights: Cristina and her daughter have a baptismal date for next month. Christina is great and has started to read the book of Mormon, has a lot of questions, and really wants to do what God wants her to do. Jessica :) - She also wants to follow God and have more peace in her life, she has two little girls and they are very giggly....we laugh at them and have fun. She accepted a Book of Mormon, said she would read, so we are excited to follow up this week. One of the couples in the ward had not been able to come to church in a long time because of work, and they don't have a car. Well they both came to church two Sundays ago, and she loved it! (he had been coming earlier), she shared her testimony on how the Hermanas had been coming to see them, and helped her grow the desire to come and ask for work off, and how she was so happy to be there. They still need to be sealed in the temple so it is so neat to see the Branch now involved with them. Miracle! We have been trying to do a better job at talking to everyone. We have meet some really nice people, and even though we had not been able to teach them a full lesson- we give out mormon.org card and their faith has been strengthened. We have been asking for more members help in the work, and we have been blessed by their testimonies. We had one come teach her friend about the importance of church (she is the primary president) so she was able to help give comfort to her friend on what she would feel there, and how she would be blessed. This investigator also shared that ever since we had been coming, she has felt more peaceful, and calm- in difference aspects of her life. We testified it was the spirit, and she could have it, even when we weren't there! good lesson. It is really neat to know that as members of the church, we are so blessed to have the Spirit of the Lord be our companion, so we really can help and bless those around us. During companionship study we had a neat realization. Everything we do is to get us back to our father in Heaven. All the commandments, everything! He wants us to be ready and prepared to live with him. I feel so blessed for that knowledge, and that I am able to learn that here, in Alabama, as a missionary. I love you all! make it an amazing week!
