Hey Peeps! So transfers were Saturday, and I'm leaving...I'm super sad about it but I know the Lord needs me somewhere else. Our whole zone is getting torn up! There's only one companionship staying in our whole zone, it's crazy! So in our district I'm leaving and so is Elder Humphreys and Gunter, it's a sad day but I know Sister Haws is going to tear up this area! She's an amazing missionary and I'm grateful I got to serve with her. I also want to say welcome home Michael!! I love you dude, thanks for being an incredible example to me you're an incredible missionary. This week has been pretty good, I got sick, it's all Elder Fox's fault. He got sick first and passed it to the rest of us, Hopefully it wont last long but I sound like a man haha. Anyway to the more important things, we set Sarah Kindey on date again, and this time I think she's ready this time. She seems really on board and she's golden now, so it's set for September 20th, so keep her in your prayers please! We also saw the Rennies yesterday and told them I was leaving and they started crying. Mya and her friend Lexi hugged me and said they weren't letting go, they told me they'll hide in my suitcase haha and Rodger told me he'll kidnap me haha. Ahh I love the people here so much! I have very mixed emotions about it haha. A cool thing that happened on Saturday, we were talking to the Rennies and her friend Lexi looked at our tags and said. "Why haven't you guys taught me yet?" We were kind of shocked but we were like okay haha. so we taught her the Restoration and gave her a book Of Mormon and she was super excited about it. Mya sat right next to us as we taught her and if we paused for even a second she would start teaching Lexi herself haha. It was super cute, we do have to get permission from her parents to teach her more but hopefully they'll let us. She's already read a couple pages from the Book of Mormon haha. On Sunday Marge came to church again and stayed for all three hours! She actually admitted out loud that she could see herself being apart of this church, we were like "Whaaaaaat!!" haha she's been taught for over a year now so to get her to admit something like that is awesome! We told her son Brother Quigley, and he was super happy to hear that. Her nephew just got back from his mission and she says he seems really happy. We were also sitting in gospel principles class waiting for it to start and Brother Budd's kids were sick so they never showed up so we had to teach the lesson haha it was pretty fun. So today is going to be super busy because I'm saying goodbye to everyone, but this week has been really good and I'm excited for transfers. I know that Heavenly Father is very aware of everything and he has a plan for us, and I am going somewhere else for a reason, I know there's someone else that needs me to bring them the light of the gospel! I'll send you my address hopefully on Tuesday so you know where I am! I'm also sending pictures too. have an amazing week I love you all! Sister Gordon
