Hey Everyone!
Well, transfer calls came quick last night and i'm
super stoked...and super nervous! haha Sister Casner is staying in KW ward.
I've been transfered to London, opening a new area, training and it's a BUS
area! Public transportation say what? That'll bring me even more out of my
comfort zone and help me to develop all sorts of new skills! So i'm really
excited. Should be interesting, that's for sure!
This week has been absolutely amazing! Sister
Casner and I hit the standards of excellence set for our mission :) We had 3
investigators at church & 4 baptismal dates. Other key indicators you
probably don't care much about but we've been so blessed and I was bummed to
leave the ward! This ward is so great! Amanda called us on Thursday and said
she had decided she wanted to be baptized! She's set for Feb. 3. Her and her
fiance came to church yesterday and it was greeeeaaat! We're teaching them
together this week. err i mean, sister casner will be teaching them this week.
Ann, our other gator, came to church also. She's the one who lives with a
member, is 75 and from Tennessee. We invited her to be baptized and she said
she'd pray about it. Turns out the lesson in RS was about baptism and
confirmation and it helped out a lot! Afterwards she said, "I understand
why you invited me to be baptized so soon, it's the beginning of learning...not
the end." The older members in the ward are amazed that she's come out to
church cuz in the past she's been so close minded about it all. Great
things are happening! We also picked up 5 new gators this week. holla! One of
them, Ken, his mom was a member and had 22 children. wow.
We had a neat experience Sunday morning when we
were doing our studies before church. It was snowing pretty heavy and we knew
that Anne and her roommate have a hard time getting out when the weather is
bad. So we prayed that the snow would stop so they could feel well and make it
to church. We waited a few minutes and the sun came out, we gave them a
call and they both said, "we're ready to go!" It was an awesome
Sunday.
Let's see, Viola not only has pneumonia but
also Strep now...so that's made it hard for us to meet with her and really hard
for her to come out to church but we re-set her with a bapt. date to work
towards.
This transfer has been one full of service.
We've really tried to just go about doing good. It's produced so many
blessings! The members are really trusting us it's been great.
Our Kitchener Ward District! |
Love Sister Messer
