Dear President,
This week was great! I am learning so much from Sister W every day. She is a great missionary. We've been working hard with our investigators and less actives, and we've had a lot of good laughs too :)
We have two investigators close to baptism that will hopefully be baptized together this Saturday. The mom has been
We have two investigators close to baptism that will hopefuilly be baptized together this Saturday. The mom has been meeting with us more frequently as the daughter has been busy with her newborn, but we hope that she will find the time this week to meet so that they can both be baptized together. If not, the daughter will likely be baptized next week. We had a great lesson this past week though on the Gospel of Christ and the Law of Chastity. We had concerns that the mom may have had abortions in the past, but to our delight she hasn't! That was such a huge blessing. They really have been prepared...I can't remember if I told you but both of them had also been living the Word of Wisdom their whole lives before we ever talked to them about it. Amazing!
Our next closest to baptism is an older women that had been in contact with the elders before. We went over to her house to serve her this week (we did some house work and cleaned) and she was just loving every second of it! She was so happy. It's been interesting watching her grow, because when I first met her, she was casual, but everytime we go back to visit she just keeps getting happier and happier! She has a baptismal date for the middle of June and our only concern with her right now is that she hasn't been coming to church because her family comes to town on Sundays. But she promised us last week that she would come, so we will see this week!
We also met with quite a few contacts this week as we feel that our pool of investigastors is becoming shallow. We met with two women this week, who had met with the elders before and we are hoping to meet with them again and pick them up as investigators.
We are also working with a family in the ward whose grandmother has expressed interest in baptism. She can't come to church because of her limited mobility, but she has such a good heart and her grandkids promised to read the Book of Mormon to her :) So we will be working with her as well.
We met with a lot of less actives this week as well and quite a few showed up to church. We will continue to visit them and ask for referrals.
We are also going to be trying to put on some ward activites this transfer so that the members can bring their friends to a "less threatening" environment and get them more involved in the work.
Exchanges this week with Sister Awent well.
We have exchanges with the Arabkir Sisters this week. I will be with Sister F, if you have anything you would like me to discuss or work on with her, let me know!
The Gyumri sisters will be having a mini misisonary with them this week from the 20th-24th. I think it will be good for Sister Mas she is always up for a challenge and has tackled a lot of her goals she's set for her training already. I think this will be more of a challenge and learning experience for her. And of course, Sister MD is the mini missionary queen, so she will love it too!
Because you mentioned that you memorized D&C 4 when you were a missionary, I've set that as a new goal for me too. I want to have that memorized within a week or two.
Thank you for all that you do! I love you and Sister C!
Have a great week!

Doesn't that just make you happy? :)
I hope you all have a great week!
Love,
We get to go on exchanges every week and this week I am going back to Arabkir (where Iwas trained) so that will be fun! We're also going to Georgia in two weeks, so that will be cool.
I hopI do like my new area! The ward here is more established and has the church routine down. Being a sister training leader is just like being a "regular" missionary before, but I am aware of a lot more of the sisters' concerns and needs.
I have a lot of pictures, but they usually have other people in them so I will try to send one next week of just me!
Love you always and forever!
Love,
Misa
