TRANSFERS! They are on the 7th, we will find out this Saturday if either Sister Boggus or I are going to be transferred. Since Sis B has been in Green Bay she will probably get transferred and they will put another experienced missionary in her place.
We have a new investigators! N, is a referral we got from President Cutler. When he came he for interviews he stayed at a hotel and got the clerk there interested and now we have an appointment with her tomorrow! Oh! And G - the wonderful lady who has been to prison, but turned her life around - accepted our invitation to be baptized on Oct 19!
S&J aren't getting baptized yet, still want to and come to church and everything, just very slow on getting married. Ah well! We will get them baptized yet!
B - a wonderful lady in our church - has been coming to lessons with us for them and I think it'll really get S comfortable in the church. B also said she'd help teach us how to crochet (no idea how to spell it) on our P-days.
We went and saw the S family s this week, mmmmmm Bro S made Fajitias and boy were they amazing! Best ones I've ever had! His wife is a recent convert so we gave her a "New Member Orientation" and found out she doesn't like temples (sealing/baptism), she doesn't believe in them, but accepts them. We are planning on working with her on that next time we go over.
Then there is K - a convert of a year - her mom doesn't like the church, but K really wants to go on a mission and is working on her papers. Everything she brings up that she is going to her mom though, her mom ignores it. So we helped her figure out how she could get through to her mom. I hope and pray everything works out for her!
Saturday....that was a looong day. We biked from our house to B (a Jamacian guy and his family) his kids were so cute! First they offered us cookies and then muffins and tried to offer more :D His wife is very Catholic, but very open and friendly she knows our church pretty well.
Then we biked to R&S's up and down hills, I had to walk up part of one of the hills. S was at work so we shared a quick message with R and got his baptism date reset to September 28th. They just have to get married - as do ALL of our investigators - then they will be good to go. The best part is that R brought his kids to church Sunday for the first time! (S was at work again, but came at the very end) Boy was that a great surprise! Anyways, after them we went out to a less active single lady on the elders side..WAY on the elders side (We took the bus there). *Side note: buses have a bike rack that holds only 2 bikes so if there is one bike on it, we have to wait another hour for the next bus*
The bus to the bus depo came...and had 2 bikes on it. The big problem was that if we waited another hour we would miss the last connecting bus of the day that was suppose to take us home. So we rode all the way to the bus station and with luck and a little help from our ever loving Heavenly Father, we made it on time. In total we biked well over 15 miles that day. Yup, I'm gonna have super leg muscles by the time I get back home!
We've had dinner every day last week, which was amazing. All the members here are great cooks! We also have dinner tonight and tomorrow too! Poor elders though, no one ever really signs up on their dinner calendar.
Another random fact - I've been hit on more times in this past month on my mission than I have my entire life (which I won't go into depth on)...I think it's the name tag :b
