13th transfer, final area, x3 with Sister Giles!:)

October 10, 2016

Hey family! Crazy, crazy. For my last transfer I will be staying in Hagerstown for my 3rd transfer with Sister Giles! :) So excited because there is so much work to continue to be done here in Hagerstown & I love Sister Giles:) I have learned so much from her & grown so much from being her companion.

This week was great! Because of the whole bed bug dilemma we had our exchanges on hold haha. So this week we went with Harper's Ferry & Charlestown :) I stayed here in Hagerstown with Sister Hartman for Harper's Ferry & then went to Charlestown with Sister Johnston! It's funny because I was originally supposed to be companions with Sister Johnston about 9 months ago so it was fun getting to be her companion for a day:) 

Please pray for Annie. She is having some family problems right now because of her decision to meet with the missionaries:( She truly wants to change her life & come closer to the Savior & we know that this is the adversary's way of attacking her right now. 

Thursday we had a really amazing lesson with a lady named Allison. She has been heroine free for a year. She told us her story of how she kept relapsing but that with the Lord's help she's where she's at today. Sister Wheeler came with us & it was a really powerful lesson. She is an amazing lady.

We still got to meet with the Prieto's, Carinna, and Lisa this week. Please keep them in your prayers as well:) The sisters had a miracle on exchanges. They were able to meet with a sweet lady, Glenda, who is a former investigator. She was hit with anti after they met with her the first time. The sisters were able to go over & answer all her concerns. Sister Harrast bore powerful testimony & Glenda said she would come to church & pray about the Book of Mormon! :)

Yesterday all of our appointments fell through, but we were in the right places at the right time to see God's hand. We felt inspired to go see "Sharon" so we looked up the Sharon's in the area book & went to see one of them. We met a lady who's father died 20 years ago & she was still mourning his loss. We were able to testify that there was a plan for her family. We also met a lot of other really great people.

That is my favorite part about missionary work. That God is at the head & that this is His work. He will not fail us, forsake us, nor will He do that to our investigators. His arm is stretched out still, and He is waiting for us to turn to Him. I know He loves us with an infinite love. I love you all. Have an amazing week.
