What a great start to a new transfer!

It's been a great new transfer so far! I have a new companion elder Redmond! He is from Fallon Nevada. We have been working hard since we have the whole ward now. We have 30 investigators we are trying to fit into our schedule. They took the sisters out of the ward so we took their work on along with ours. The stress level is up but we keep working hard. 

So the other day I asked the Book of Mormon what we should do for this are or how can we make this area go more smoothly and not have as much stress. Well when I opened it up I turned to alma 32 and that scripture talks a lot faith and you need to have faith for everything so as we went to church Sunday the topic was about faith as well. Then We had a miracle happen on Sunday, The miracles keep coming I love it. We had a lady come to church on Sunday and she said when she visited the temple visitor center she felt something so great that  she has not felt in other churches so she asked the sisters where the closest lds church was and that's where we are. So she comes to church and tells us of her experience and she wants to learn more. She said her attention span is small but she said somehow we kept her attention to learn more so we are meeting with her yesterday. And she has a daughter that is 8 and would love to come to church. So we have received a solid investigator and she wants to learn more and to come to church here more often. So at the lesson she loved the message and she has softened her heart by the sounds of her change. She has felt that this is the true church and she has felt the spirit. She reads the Book of Mormon at her work and the pamphlets we send with her. She is solid and she truly wants to know. The most exciting news is that she has a BAPTISMAL DATE FOR JUNE 28TH 2015! AND ITS BEFORE THE TRANSFER ENDS SO I WILL BE HERE FOR IT! I'm excited for it and to be able to actually prepare for a baptism. 

I'm loving this area and the work I get to do! I hope you all have a great week!
