Transfer News

Hello friends,

Hope your week went great:) Hear are a few highlights from my week!

☆ Transfer news: Sister Stevenson and I are staying in Villa Bonita for at least 6 more weeks and another sister is coming., Sister Wallentine. We are going to be a trio! I'm so excited!

☆ Our friend, Ruta, got baptized this week! She's been taking lessons with the elders and we've met her one other time. But about a week ago, we got a call from the elders saying that Ruta had made a special request that we say the prayers at her baptism. We were honored!

In the middle of the baptism, our friend, Tahera who we met a week ago, leaned over to me and asked how she can be baptized and that one day, she wanted to do it. (!!!!!!!) Needless to say, Sister Stevenson and I had a really hard time trying to be reverent. It was a miracle. So we'll keep teaching her and preparing her for baptism.

☆ We put Gary on date!! He has a few things he still has to work on but we set a goal with him to be baptized May 21st:)

☆ Last night, we were knocking a few doors and went to this family's house that had been previously taught by other missionaries. We talked for a minute and they were saying how they were taking the lessons and wanted to be baptized but life got in the way and never did. It was crazy. So we set up a time to come back this week and will begin teaching them! The moms name is Monica and the 9 year old daughter is Aaliyah. So keep them in your prayers! Hopefully we can teach the rest of the family too. 

THE MISSION IS JUST FABULOUS. Literally am just over here LOVING LIFE!

I studied Jacob 2 yesterday and it was SO good. Verse 8 says, "And it supposeth me that they have come up hither to hear the pleasing word of God, yea, the word which healeth the wounded soul." I love that! The word of God has the power to heal a wounded soul. I know it has mine and it can yours <3

Love you all! Talk to you next week!

xoxo sister coon
