Transfer Week

Hey y'all!

So first order of business, I'm leaving Cochran...sad day. I'm really depressed about it. I'm probably going to Ridgeland, South Carolina cuz the sisters there have been together for 3 transfers and that's already way too long. So, send letters to the mission home. But Sister Hatfield got a call from President Bowman this morning saying that she's training again and that she's staying here, so that means I'm leaving. I don't wanna leave Cochran! I love Cochran! I love the people! *sigh* no bueno.

Well, on to happier news! Dixie has committed, and she is sooo baptized on February 13th. Which means that once she is baptized, then she'll reactivate her husband! YAY!!!
Last night, we started teaching a manwho been married to a member for 20 years and says he's been praying for 20 years to find out if the church is true. He's met with several different sets of missionariesand he says he's been waiting for his answer for 20 years. So we told him to start praying with real intent and we promised him that if he would, the Lord would answer him. He also has to promise to the Lord that he will do what He asks.

Some one else also didn't come to church, but we told him that he couldn't be baptized until he was off of parole, but he seemed okay with it. He's on parole for 4 years, and he can be baptized sooner, but it would need him coming to church and living the commandments for 6 months or longer and then he'd need First Presidency's approval. So keep these people in your prayers!

Sister Susan Caddell has mysteriously vanished.

OH! At zone conference, I was talking to this other sister and I told her that I wanted to major in Special Ed and she told me that she could tell just by looking at me that I would be a good special ed teacher cuz I don't get ruffled easily and that I stay calm easily, which is true to a point. But she told me her mom is a special ed teacher. This sister was Sister Hardman. She was really nice. She's a thespian too and an english major....so she and I would probably get along. :)

The church is so true! I love it. Everything about this gospel is incredible. I am so grateful for Joseph Smith. In 1820, a young boy walked into a grove of trees with a simple question, and came out with an answer that changed this entire world. When I tell people that this is a WORLDWIDE church and that I have a little brother that is serving in Argentina and Sister Hatfield has a little brother that is serving in South Korea and I have friends that have served in England, Russia, Brazil, Spain, Albania and all that, they are stunned how worldwide this church truly is. I'm so grateful for this wonderful gospel.
