TRANFER x CRAZY=MIND BLOWN!

I AM GOING TO ROCHESTER!!!! SO CRAZY!!!! I'm going where Grandma lives :) Ha Ha! Just kidding. It's Rochester, MN. My new companion is Sister H. and I am hearing AWESOME things about both the area and her!  It's located more down south so a little warmer ;) Sister E. will stay here with Sister D. who is from Australia!! Put some shrimp on the bahbie! I will be moving on Wednesday, February 5 in the  morning and I am SO EXCITED! President called us this morning during personal study time and I could NOT concentrate for the rest of the hour! and GUESS WHAT! He called me to be a Sister Training Leader! What is he thinking?! I have no idea what I'm doing still!

Thumbs Up!

Sorry I keep yelling at you guys but I am just SO SUPER excited! My brain is exploding!

P. WAS BAPTIZED!! I was so blessed to see that this weekend and to be part of it before I left. In this ward the missionaries teach the lesson on the restoration  of the gospel while we wait for the person to get dressed after they are baptized. I always recite the story of Joseph Smith's first vision and this time it was so powerful! What an amazing experience Joseph went through. I was so happy for Brother B. :) But I forgot my camera- ugh! I need to get pictures from Sister E. :P Brother B. even brought his girlfriend to church the next day and bore his testimony.This guy is SO solid! YAY!

This week we have been SUPER bold with people. I think I've had a feeling that I'd be transferred. I've been thinking lately- 'I'll never see them again so I might as well tell it to them straight.' During my last lesson with Brother D. I just said- "Brother D., your wife deserves to have the priesthood in her home. You deserve to have the Holy Ghost. Will you follow the example of Jesus Christ and be baptized by someone who holds the proper authority of God?" -- When we left I was like... Did I say that? Yikes. --- But he said he'd think about it. We were also very bold with a new "gator"- L. who is 20 and SUPER Sweet- but she JUST moved in with her boyfriend. So we laid out the Law of Chastity for her. BAM! Just like that. These lessons were like- do or die. The best we could say that day was that nobody dropped us :P

The R. and T. C. Family

We finally sat R. and T. down and asked them if they want to know the church is true. T. was like-- I think it's true but I need to keep praying-- and R. was like-- I don't see myself getting baptized yet.-- Still, they agreed to keep reading the Book of Mormon and we set specific times that we'll see them and gave them a date by which they could get their answer- that date is the day they will be baptized! I will pray forever for them! We are having the Assistants work with their son Kevin now.  I just know how much peace he could have if he only accepted Christ !!! AH! JUST DO IT! We have to give a lot of our single male investigators to the assistants- they are over our area as well.

Well everyone, this has been another crazy long email from the Dread Pirate Roberts. I hope every one is reading their scriptures and staying firm in the faith ! I LOVE YOU ALL!!!

 Hurrah For Israel!

Love,

Sister Roberts
