Happy Halloween,
This week was insane!! Good and bad!! We had 2 amazing days in a row. We decided to make a goal to find someone or get a referral for each one of us this week. We prayed and asked for help finding 3 people we could get in with and baptize this transfer. That day we came in contact with at least 5 solid people. One we gave to the sisters and she is doing awesome! The others we are getting in with today and at our trunk or treat. Some members invited their neighbors and we gave them a church tour. They are now wanting to learn more and THEY asked us how long it takes until they can get baptized! We have gotten at least 1 referral a day! God really blesses you when you turn to him and ask for help. Now onto the bad(ish) part of my week. On Friday I was emergency exchanged to Clarksville. The elders there weren't doing well with each other and the assistants had to go and keep the peace until we could get there. They called us and said they prayed and felt like I should come alone for a couple days. That was super weird. We thought they would have sent a zone leader but they sent me. That couple days went by and I just exchanged back earlier today. I had to plan and make sure we were doing everything we were supposed to and I am exhausted. They also didn't have food in their apt so I didn't eat anything but dinner for 4 days. It really humbled me though. I fasted on Sunday and asked God to help me deal with my frustration toward the elder I was working with. I also realized I now know I can lead and I know how to plan and do everything I need to. It was all for my good! God really knows what we need!!
