The end of 5^th transfer

Hey Family!!

I am starting my 6th transfer today and hardly can believe it.  I still feel like a greenie!!

Last Monday night my companion and I were talking on our way home and I was saying how I just want us to be able to find a new investigator and to be able to do it on our own.  We keep having so many potential investigators but they keep not working out.  Well, Tuesday during District meeting we got a call from a woman interested in learning English and went out to visit her that afternoon.  Not to mention the getting lost thanks to the elders directions, we ran around one intersection about five times, if only there was video!!  Anyways,  she is a 33 year old woman and is so, so sweet.  Right now she is mostly interested in learning English but is good with hearing our message.  This was a such a testimony builder for me because it was a direct answer to my prayers and made me realize that God is watching over me and is not leaving us alone in this work. 

Then there was Wednesday both good, bad, and stupid.  We met up with a member for lunch and we were hurrying so fast to get there that I completely biffed it on the stairs, oh so graceful, I know!!  The restaurant we went to was a SUPER nice buffet with the most amazing food; steak, crab, sushi, salad, dessert, fruit, and pretty much any other food you can think of.  The woman that took us is from the small branch in the city next door and all of the missionaries that serve here call her mom because she loves and takes such good care of the missionaries.  We had such a good time with her, lots of talking and LOTS of food:)

After that we headed to the church to do a few things.  After getting to the church we ran to give something to our investigator by the church and when we came back 20 min. later The other people at the church had left and locked the doors with my keys and all my stuff inside! ahhh!! panic mode!!  We called the Elders but they were heading to dinner at a members, so we were literally running through the city to charge our bus cards, hop on a bus, and run to the members.  Literally, our lives should just be filmed.  By the time we made it back to the church we had already used half the night and were exhausted.  Sometimes I'll just admit that I am a blonde!!  We just laughed at it and moved on.

Hope you all have a wonderful week:)  사랑해요!!!

Love,

Sister Jacklin
