BIG NEWS!

BIG NEWS EVERYONE!!! Carlos is getting baptized THIS SATURDAY!!!!! Oh my goodness after 5 months and him wanting to wait until January miracles occurred as you heard last week (thanks to President Johnson) and Carlos is going to get baptized! He is so excited and we are too! It's crazy though because we set the date with him and he was praying and praying about it and this last week he said he got an answer through a dream! He dreamed he got baptized into the Mormon Church and God was telling him it was right. Crazy! We are so stoked.

Pray for him though (and us)! Satan's gonna be whipping out his big guns! He already tried when we found out that another ward had booked the building ALL day for a Christmas party at 6:30pm (our baptism is at 11am). But don't worry we got it all worked out so it's all good! :)

Also funny story about Carlos. Well, kind of indirectly about him. We were having a phone lesson with him on Thursday night and he was telling us something about...well I don't actually know because while he was talking we suddenly hear this rattling at our door of someone trying to get it. And I saw that the door was unlocked and I'm panicking and thinking "Why the heck didn't we lock it?!" (We like ALWAYS lock the door even if we are home) and sister Johnson goes to like brace herself against the door but Sister Dillon holds her back and it was this intense moment of waiting/panicking for those 2 seconds until we saw who was coming into our apartment. It's okay everyone it was just the other sisters! Our door WAS locked, they had just used their key to come int because they thought we weren't there. Okay and what makes this story so funny is that Carlos was talking that whole time and we were so quiet about it that he had no idea. And I went outside to tell the other sisters what happened because they were so confused and Sister Dillon hurried and grabbed the phone when Carlos finished and was like, "Yeah Carlos! That's so awesome!" Or something like that. It was so funny but so scary haha

Also, we are staying together another transfer! Wahoo!! We totally thought Sister Dillon was leaving! She'll be here for 7 1/2 months! Oh yeah but unfortunately our car is transferring! I'll miss Shadrach! (yes that is his name!) Now we will be sharing with some other sisters in our district (not the sisters that live by us though). But it's a 2015 car so that's a plus! :) I am sad Sister Richardson is leaving us! She's transferring to Utah! :) And I secretly really hope that Sister Orchard takes her place because that would be the BEST!

Well here's quick update on the peeps:

Nathan - well because of some miscommunication and some struggles that weren't anyone's fault, both the times we tried to meet with him it fell through so that is a bummer. But he got together with Alek, the member that he gets along with so well and they read the Book of Mormon together and it brought him a lot of peace! So that's good! And Alek invited him to church and he said he would come for the first hour! Sweet! Keep him in your prayers though! He has a lot to work through right now!

Charlotte - we haven't gotten to meet with her this week because she was gone for thanksgiving BUT she texted us this morning and said that the conversation with her parents went better than expected! Man we are so excited to meet with her so we can hear about it!

We are teaching this girl named Amelia. Matt, this member introduced us to her because they are really good friends and we had dinner with Matt and her and she is so awesome and pretty interested! We have an appointment with her at Matt house tomorrow evening! We are pretty excited for that!

So we've really been working on asking for referrals from people and like this whole last transfer we have been asking for referrals from EVERYONE! But we like, would never get like any. And people always say the same thing. "No I can't think of anyone." or "I don't know anyone around here." or "I can think of a lot of people" but then they don't give us anyone! Dah! Well, the past couple weeks we have been getting 3-4 referrals and they were even from us asking for them specifically and I was wondering why. Then this week we got 7! And they were like GOOD referrals (don't get me wrong all referrals are good but not all are created equal). And I realized it was the situation of blessed BECAUSE of our efforts not THROUGH our efforts again. We have been asking and asking and asking and now finally we are reaping! It's been cool to see! And we already got another one today! Blessings! God is so good!

Well I'm going to wrap this up but I just wanted to let y'all know that I know the gospel is true, I know the Book of Mormon is true and I know that God loves all of us! Keep on truckin and remember: it's a great day to be alive and an even better day to be a missionary! Keep sharing the good word!

Speaking of missionary work #ASaviorisBorn video is so fantastic. I always feel so pumped after I watch it. Share it with your friends! That's a great way to share the gospel! :)

Love y'all lots!

Love,
Sister Myers
