This week went by sooo fast.  The transfer meeting was so great! We all drove up to Tempe and said good bye to all of our missionary friends that are going to other missions (Sister Lemon and Sister Anderson are going to the Gilbert mission....sad day!) We all took pictures, and had a good ole time.  We had to leave at 3:30 to get there on time, so we are all still trying to play catch up :D

 

Well, lets see, cool story time!  Had a lesson with F this week.  We read out of Preach My Gospel with him about how all doubts and questions can be traced back to if the Book of Mormon is true and if Joseph Smith was a true prophet. It hit him really hard.  He has tons of really good questions, but he is caught up in the knowledge aspect of it instead of being concerned about the testimony aspect of it.  So..... we invited him to read ALL of the Book of Mormon this week :D haha.  He is in Alma, but he said he wanted to start at the beginning again.  So before the end of the month, he will have read the whole thing completely. (he doesn't have work or school so he has time :D) If he does it for the right reasons, there is no reason he would not want these blessings in his life after he is through with it :D

 

Another really cool thing! We were biking and we passed a lady, felt like we should go back, so we did. We talked to her and her daughter and they were not interested at all.  But as soon as they found out we were Mormon they told us to go visit a lady 4 doors down, named A.  Well we went to visit her.  She comes outside and starts crying and says "how did you know where to find me?" Well, turns out she is Mormon and she had no idea there was a church down here.  We found her an hour before a church activity and we hurried and found her a ride and she came.  She was so amazed that there were missionaries on her door step :D It was sweet :D 

 

So we had a dinner at the church on Saturday to celebrate Fathers Day (better late than never :D). It was a miracle, there were more people from Somerton there than from San Luis.  WOOHHOOOOO.  It was cool to see all of those families we have been working with there....now they just all need to come to church :D Little by little. 

 

Well, we found lots of cool people to teach this week, I am excited!

 

Also, the broadcast was awesome!!!! Well, what we heard of it.  We watched it with the Spanish branch and there was a lot of technical difficulties, we probably ended up hearing only about half of it, but the half we heard was awesome!!!!! I loved the story by President Monson at the end about the branch president looking up names in the phone book.  haha.  Pretty sure we are going to try to start doing that in Somerton.  Haha.  It was amazing.
