We had transfer calls this week and me and my companion are staying another transfer together! this will be our 3rd transfer together! yesssuh! this was a little downer but not too bad. Its just a lot of our appointments cancelled and we actually didnt teach any investigator lessons last week.. Our stats are down but our spirits are still up! we have a lot of faith that we'll have a great week this week. We got to see the beautiful cherry blossoms this week and met with some great members of our ward. One member, about our age, just started a new year of college and had been having a little bit of a rough time. he actually started to drink and hasn't come to church for a little while, but came this past sunday! we have been meeting with him maybe once or twice a week since he told us about his problem and he's making progress! we talked with him this week about prayer, and how important it is to be thankful for what we have. I think he's a little bit special actually but still able to live on his own. We asked him what he was thankful for and the first thing he said was "im thankful Im a boy, not a girl" haha that was pretty funny. and he was dead serious too! haha so we talked about thanks and why its so important. Sometimes, as we teach investigators or members, i feel like the investigator because I learn, or realize, so much about what we are talking about. I just realized what we need to be thankful for: everything! because our heavenly father has given us so much. I guess in a sense we should be thankful to be boys or girls because thats the way heavenly father made us. Im thankful to be a missionary, for a loving family, and for this wonderful gospel centered on Jesus Christ. Think about all things you're all thankful for, it'll surprise you i promise! not a ton of time today, but love you all! have a great week.
