Transfers!

Hello Everyone!  Short letter today because we have a lot going on!  That is a good thing though.  What a wonderful week! It was my last week with Sister Tsang. I am going to miss that little Asian princess so much. Heavenly Father has called us to different places.  I was called to be a zone leader in the North 1 zone which means I am out of the Beehive House and I am ALL SQUARE. No assignments, just find, teach, and baptize and help guide the sisters of course. I have a new companion and she is awesome! Her name is Sister Taito (Ty-To) and she is from FIJI. She has been out about the same amount of time as I have. We were called to be zone leaders together and guess what! Sister Bryuzgina is in my zone! I am excited to be able to work with my little Ruski again. She is already planning a 24 hour exchange for us and she is also planning our next zone activity haha!  Sister Taito is so wonderful. She was my roommate last transfer and we had a blast together. General Conference is coming in just a couple of weeks. Can you believe it? I can't. It will be a weekend of craziness and spiritual upliftment. So exciting!

I have some wonderful news! One of my investigators, "R", was baptized on Saturday! It has been a long and wonderful journey being able to work with her. She sent pictures and she looked so beautiful at her baptism. I wish I could have been there. She has overcome so much and I am so proud of her. She just has this whole new glow about her. I love seeing what the gospel can do for people.

This coming Saturday I have two baptisms coming up as well which is exciting. They live in Ogden but recently moved here from Vegas. I met them a couple of weeks ago at my desk assignment. "M's" husband is a returning member. They plan on being married in the temple in a year.

Today Sister Taito and I were at our desk assignment and I met this wonderful man from Milan, Italy.  We talked for a bit and he said he has seen missionaries in Milan a few times and they gave him a Book of Mormon. He has never actually sat down and talked with them. He is Catholic but came specifically to Utah to see the temple. We talked about Temples and the Book of Mormon and I invited him to learn more. He was so excited and said he would like to meet with the elders that he always sees riding bikes around his house. We will continue to teach him over the phone when he goes back to Milan. He was so funny. I have never taught a Catholic Italian before so this should be fun!

I read in my Book of Mormon about the stripling warriors this morning and it made me think about mothers and how awesome you all are.  Even when you feel like you aren't doing everything right, you are the rock that holds us together.  Your faith makes ours stronger! 
 
The square has been busy because tons of women are here for an essential oils convention. It smells like Doterra everywhere you turn. I miss everyone a lot and I hope y'all are doing well!! Love you a ton.
