Hey friends and fam!

It is transfer week and they switched it around, so no more Tuesday Pday.

Big news! Me and Sister Neuenswander are staying and I'm so glad. She is such a party. The ward is joking that they should request my records so I can stay in the ward forever! Here are some highlights from the week:

• our friend Pam came to church! It was a huge surprise since we thought she had dropped us. It was her first time and she loved it! She hopes to even do family history this week, so we will have to see about that haha

• Sue went to the temple!! Sadly there is no temple within our mission boundaries so as missionaries, we are not allowed to go but they went to the Chicago temple and loved it!! Sue kept talking about how much peace she felt there and how she needs to get back there soon. 

SUE AT THE TEMPLE♥

• Robert hasn't made any progress and it sounds like he's going to drop us this week which is really sad but probably for the best. He needs more time and we have to find people who are ready to receive the gospel now.

• we met with Pat this week and had a really good discussion on God's plan for us and how that only includes one earth life. She has so many really right ideas, we are just trying to help her find truth. 

• it has been snowing a great deal here but keeps warming up and melting. It has been a very "warm" winter for Michigan, and I think it was like this for me haha. I am indeed grateful.

snow!

• Sue is so cute and takes us out to eat every Friday to DaVinci's so we had to get a pic :)

DaVinci's

This week I was reading at the end of 3 Nephi, chapter 30. This chapter is just two verses and Mormon records the Savior's final plea to his people. To paraphrase he says, "Hearken and hear the words of Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God. Turn from your wicked ways, repent, and come unto me." How significant, his final plea was for us to come unto him and turn from our selfish ways. I sometimes feel that it is so easy to slip away from the important things, especially as a missionary. I am truly grateful for the gift of my Savior, Jesus Christ. To know that he bore my sins, and I can change. It is never easy, but there is so much peace through his atonement.

Have the best week my friends♥
