Transfer Calls!

Well, as you can maybe guess, transfers are this week and the calls for them happened last night/this morning. And they were a bit exciting, mostly because a week ago we weren't expecting changes. But, here's the verdict, to be declared after a short inspirational interlude about miracles from the week.

Biggest miracle of this week is that our recent convert is all right! He's going through a hard time right now, but we hadn't been able to get ahold of him for over a week, so when our branch president called us and said that he'd been over and gotten to talk to him we were pretty relieved. Then we were able to talk to him today and Sister Watkins had a chance to say good-bye. He's going through a hard time, but he's still got a strong testimony of the gospel. Baptism is the best, but unfortunately it's not a miracle pill that cures all opposition. And actually, that is good, because we do need opposition to grow, whether we want it or not. 

Another quick miracle is that we were able to talk to the lady that said she'd pray about the Book of Mormon (and who thought we were a sect) and we've got another appointment with her! She actually still thinks that the Bible is enough, but she agreed to set up another appointment. Also, her husband was a lot more positive this time, which was cool.

So, verdict. I'm staying in Assen, and Sister Watkins is being transferred to Utrecht. My new companion is Sister Hoff, who was trained by Sister Nielson the transfer after I was companions with her. I was also called as Sister Training Leader for our zone, so that should be exciting.

The gospel is true and the Lord has His hand in our lives! We just need to look for it and to ask for it!

Missionary work is the best!
