Hey!
Soooooo transfers were last Monday and guys. I got three separate calls, each telling me different things. But, don't worry everything got figured out and now I'm in Roswell! They ended up closing Oconne for sisters. I was pretty sad to say goodbye to the families I had met, but we definitely had a huge miracle.
When we called to say goodbye to Janet's fam. She broke down in tears and told us that the reason she was taking English classes in the first place was to become independent. A couple weeks before she met us, she was considering leaving her marriage and preparing to file for a divorce. In tears, she explained that when we shared our message of eternal families, it was exactly what she needed to hear. She told us that now, her relationship with her husband has significantly improved and it was thanks to our lessons. Hearing this, literally made Monday night. I'm so glad that Heavenly Father could use my companion and I to help this AMAZING family. I'm going to miss them so much.
However. I think I'm falling in love with Roswell. Every other day we run 2-4 miles by the famous chattahoochee river. It's sooo cool. And I have such an amazing companion. Sister Brooks is from Utah, she actually picked me up from the GA airport when I first arrived, and I literally couldn't be more grateful for her. We laugh everyday. It's like a dream.
The first week here was a little crazy! We met the Torres fam. that is beyond prepared to take the gospel lessons. When we came by, the father pulled out his book of mormon and had read till Mosiah!! Like what?! He's only had the book for about two weeks.
Also, we took a walk around the apartment complex on Thursday and ran into a young man with a guitar. When he saw us walking around, he asked us if he could join. Well, of course we said yes. Anyways found out that he had been praying for some friends and we were his answer. At the end of this walk, we stopped by the entrance of the apt. Complex and all sang a Christian song VERY OFF KEY in a wonderful circle while all those who were entering fortunately had time to film from their cars. Haha then to finish it off, he asked if he could give the two of us a platonic hug. What a unique night.
Anyways love y'all sorry I haven't been as diligent with group emails. Ahhhhhhhhh
Ok.
