Tuesday morning we got up and getting ready for transfers and we a got conference call saying transfers wouldn't be until that afternoon. Delta was apparently having some issues so some of the trainee's didn't get here until 5 in the morning. So everything was pushed back. So we did some stuff to get ready for transfers. We went to the city a little early and Sister Bandeaux and I met up with her parents so we had lunch with them. We walked to the office to meet my trainee! Her name is Hermana Johnston. She is from Willow creek California, a small town in Northern California. She is about two months older than me. After that we got pizza in Riverhead and then knocked some doors and spent most of the rest of the time introducing her to everyone.
Wednesday we had two meetings. First one was district meeting and the other one was correlation meeting plus there was traffic. Over all it was a crazy day. Then we did knocking and some look ups trying to find someone to listen to us.
Thursday we had weekly planning and planning everything for the baptism. Making sure everything was squared away for the baptism. Then we had dinner at the Martino's with Eddie and Blanca to get ready for the baptism. Then we went to visit a newer investigator. We taught the restoration and it was awesome. It was a very powerful lesson.
Friday we did service at the senior center. I just love teaching the older people how to use technology. They try so hard. Then we had some study time and watched some training videos for Hermana Johnston. We drove to East Hampton to see Eddie and get him ready for the next day.
Then we got a phone call from the zone leaders and they talked to us about getting Eddie to church because his mom couldn't take him. They calmly explained that if he didn't have a ride it was better he not get baptized. This created a big trial for me and my companion. So we started in on finding him a way to church.
Saturday was a whirlwind we did stuff to get ready for the baptism and everything else still trying to do missionary work. At the end of the day Eddie got baptized and the next day he got to church and got the Holy Ghost.
This week I learned to really rely on my Heavenly Father. When the times got rough I got on my knees. In the moments I couldn't take one step I took a step to kneeling and to praying to my Heavenly Father. So when life gets hard go to your knees and pray and talk to your Heavenly Father who wants to hear from you. I love y'all and have a great week.
