Hello World!
This week was a roller coaster! Transfers were hard. We found out Monday that we had to move and then during transfers we found out that Elders were moving in...to the Solon South area.....our area!! WHAT?! And then we figured they were bringing the biking area back, so that was us. But then we still had a car, but then we found out we didn't have a car! So that means we lost all of our investigators! All seven! Including Ron and Olivia! But then we found out that we DO have a car. And then we found out our area just got split so we have the west area...which still doesn't include Ron and Olivia...the week before their baptism! Nooo! Literally, I was heartbroken. Then we found out that we only have five active members in our entire area. The Elders got 30 families.... But then about an hour later we found out that we still get to teach Ron and Olivia until their baptism! So I'm okay.
I told you it was a roller coaster. So pretty much our area is now the boonies/ghetto, but we still have a few of our investigators, but no members to work with. It's a change, but we'll figure it out.
Anyway, we had no idea any of this was changing, so it came as a shock -- a hard one to swallow. But can I tell you, Heavenly Father knows what's going on. He knows what we need. I was able to get a blessing of comfort and I was for sure comforted. God knows our ups and downs. He knows what we need and what will help us grow. If we do the same thing we've always done we'll get the same results we've always got. So change is good. I know God is helping us all through our lives. Thank heavens we aren't alone.
And on a REALLY happy note! Ron and Olivia are set for this Saturday! I'm so excited for them. They have changed so much over the last 6 weeks. They are so much happier. Things aren't perfect by any means, but they are progressing. God is helping them. The gospel is amazing!
I love you all!
