Last Week of the Transfer!

Can you believe how fast time is flying!? Every week hna Jones and I look at each other and say, "where does the time go?" We are really hoping and praying that Heavenly Father wants us to stay in Borrego Springs together for her last transfer! But in the end it is what the Lord wants and I will go where He wants me to go :) I have loved the people in Borrego Springs more than I ever thought possible. We have seen continence's change from us singing to people. We truly know that it was inspired that we were supposed to be in Borrego Springs together these past 2 transfers.

This past Sunday we had one of President Van Cott's counselors come down and speak to us. He was speaking to all of the members about how they can share the gospel, and how at anytime you share a message of the gospel you have had a successful missionary experience. I felt that he was talking directly to me when he said this, I have been thinking and trying to figure out why hna Jones and I aren't having baptisms like we should, why people aren't keeping their commitments (getting baptized on their date) that we are leaving them. "We are doing what we know we need to do! We are being obedient! Why aren't we having success?!?" After he said that though it hit me. We are having success. It may not be in baptisms right now, but we are making a difference, we are helping others draw closer to their Savior. We have planted a seed in all of them. I know that all of the people we are teaching are elect and I know that one day they are going to get baptized.

We are teaching this really incredible kid named Gonzalo, I seriously love him! He has so many questions and concerns about why the world is so corrupt. He said the only reason he wanted to learn from the missionaries, is because he wants to be able to bible bash with his friends. I knew there was something deeper there after teaching him more he desires to follow the Savior and wants to have a family who is centered on Christ. I am so excited to keep teaching him. He is such a good kid. I know that he is going to follow the example of Christ more in his life by being baptized :)

I love you all! I hope that everyone feels better! I heard everyone has the stomach flu!! Stay away from me ;) LOVE YOU
