Transfer 2 Week 4, 22 February 2010

Anything new happening? New investigators, new experiences?
Well, one new thing is we got Wanda Kelley back, she is still strong in her faith. I AM SOOOOOOOO HAPPY for her.

How are things going with Kewandra?
Kewandra is growing so much. She knows the BoM is true, she knows she needs to be baptized, and Joseph Smith is a prophet. She feels that she should wait until she's 14 so she'll know more. We've committed her to pick her own date to work for and showed her all the interview questions she'll be asked. We just haven't gone over the commandments with her, every thing else we taught her.

Were you and your companion teaching Linda Surfield, or was it one of the other companionships?
Both. Sister Sprinkle and Sister Taft were the first to start teaching her as far as I know. When S. Taft went back to Spanish, S. Sprinkle came with S. Blackham and I for the rest of the transfer. Sister Sprinkle and Sister Winder were the last missionaries to teach Linda.

Is tracting getting any easier? Do you spend a lot of time tracting?
Going up to people and talking to them is getting a lot easier. We spend more time contacting than tracting. Our area has been picked through with a fine tooth comb. So it's a little hard, but good.

How are the members in helping with missionary work? Any splits?
Those who go out with us are great. There's about 2-4 members who sign up and come out with us. So far, we haven't, but Sisters Sprinkle and Winder have needed to because Sister Sprinkle has gotten really sick. She was until the end of this transfer before she goes home.

What have you been doing for your service hours lately?
We've helped members out with them moving. Other than that we don't really do service hours.

Any special events or meetings coming up soon?
No, not really, or at least not that I know of.

Just tell us about what you've been doing.
Well, this week (Monday-Wednesday) I went over to McMinnville to go on exchanges with Sisters Fear and Blackham. Sister Fear came here to Cookeville and stayed with Sister Goff. I got to be with my "mommy" again. While there, someone in the McMinnville ward had passed away. It was hard, but the people there were strong. We saw an RC (recent convert) named Josh or Jacob, I don't really remember, anywho, he was really nice, and his parents were very sweet. We went over to his house to give his sister a study journal; she wasn't there though. We also went for FHE at a member’s home. It was just Sister Blackham and I and her.

Oh! We got my bike set up, I don't remember if I've told you that already or not.

I can’t think of anything else to say, so I'll be going now.
love!
