We got transfer calls last night... and the verdict is! I'm staying in Churchville YSA! YAY :) And I'll be training! Which means my companion will be coming straight from the MTC :) I'm super excited, but a little nervous at the same time. I have faith that the Lord will qualify me for this calling though. Sister Sorensen will be training again too! She's not going too far :) She'll be serving in Toronto, so hopefully I'll still get to see her sometimes. Transfers are tomorrow, so we will go to the mission home for a trainers meeting, we'll have a testimony meeting, and then President Scott will pair us up with our new companions!
I'll tell you about two highlight lessons of the week. The first was with an investigator named Caitlyn. We watched "Finding Faith in Christ" in the waiting room in the Toronto Temple. SO POWERFUL! I love the temple. I have a huge testimony of the spirit and power that resides at the temple. The second was with a girl named Claudia. She is a referral from a member in our ward. If you haven't been able to watch the work of salvation broadcast, go watch it! This is how missionary work is supposed to be. We taught Claudia the first lesson, the Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The first part of the first lesson, the very first thing we teach every investigator, is that God is our loving Heavenly Father. I love that this is our first message to the world. The first thing our Father in Heaven wants us to teach. We asked the member how that knowledge has blessed her in her life, and she just started crying. Then I started tearing up. (shocker!) Then this member shared her testimony about the happiness and peace this gospel brings. It was seriously the most amazing lesson! Charity is a powerful thing.
Another highlight of the week, I had a Grandma Robinson moment on Saturday :) Our district went contacting in downtown Brampton at a farmers market. There was a saxophone player sitting on the side of the street playing "Up the Lazy River." I just smiled :) His saxophone had an old, airy tone that sounded like Grandma's, and it just made my week!
Yesterday I was a little anxious and unsettled. I was nervous for transfer calls and the anticipation was nerve racking and I just wasn't at peace. Sister Sorensen had some dove chocolates, so she handed me one and guess what the wrapper said... "You are exactly where you are supposed to be." Coincidence? I think not :) I think we all need a little reminder and reassurance sometimes when we're doing what's right. Especially when what is right, is also hard. Because Satan also knows what is right. That is why he fights so hard against it. This is Christ's church and it is built upon His Gospel. It is true. It is right. And it is the only source to true joy and peace in this life and the next. I know it is true. Thank you for all the prayers and support. Have a great week!
Love and prayers, B
