Today is transfers. Elder C is dying and Elder Os is replacing him. He's from Florida and he grew up speaking Spanish. I don't know much about him yet, but he's been out for about 14 months. Elder C is with us until tonight when we drop him off at the mission home. It's sad to see him go, I feel like he's a good friend now. It's always hard getting used to someone new, but it'll be good.
L A is doing well and plans to get baptized on Rachelle's birthday. O is doing well, but we don't have a date with him yet. Hopefully soon. The exciting thing of this week is that S M, who recently moved in, has a non-member mom who is interested in the gospel. He was baptized a year and a half ago and now his mom is becoming interested and even came to church the last two weeks. We taught her last night for the first time and we are eating dinner with them tonight. It's exciting and she seems pretty golden. Bro. M is Persian and as of yet isn't terribly interested. S is super cool though and he's not much older than me. Another lady that might be a really good potential is D A. She has a good member friend up in Northwood and I hear she's really interested, but not ready to talk to missionaries yet. So other than them, please pray that we can teach G M and sister E's friend and that F's parent's hearts may be softened to let her get baptized. Also that O recognizes an answer and has the courage/faith to be baptized.
It's been interesting to have Elder C finishing up. He had his departing interview on Friday, then went with the departing missionaries to the temple. He said goodbye to a lot of people yesterday, especially since they announced it in sacrament meeting and had him give a short talk. We couldn't see half the people he wanted to see. Maybe today we will see some of them after shopping.
Last night we ate with the one Spanish family in the ward. They are from Mexico and just got sealed in the temple on Saturday. It's so fun to have them and I'm so happy that they got sealed. Something really awesome I heard today at transfers is that a family from Harbor Hills is going to be baptized. The mom is already a member and was baptized not too long ago, but the husband and son, who were previously not too interested are getting baptized. They really wanted to go to one church as a family and were going to decide on a different one, but after Bishop N talked to them and gave them blessings they decided to keep going to the LDS church so it was really good news. They are the S family.
So I'll write again next week and tell you more. Things are going really well. I really like the area I'm in and don't mind staying :). Love you as much as all the missionaries that got transferred today (almost the whole mission!).
