WELLLLL.. Hello!
SO. I'll get right to the point. We got transfer calls on Saturday! Last transfer we got them at 9:30 at night so I was hoping to get it earlier. So I was in the shower..... and Sister Pyper is all of a sudden pounding on the door saying "he's calling! President is calling!" So naturally, I literally jump out of the shower, and go to listen to what he has to say haha. So he tells Sister Pyper that she is staying and training! Then he tells me he has a new assignment for me. He says "I want you to go to Riverside, and you'll be training as well!" We were both super shocked. The night before we had written down every possibility of what could happen that we could think of and that was not even close to being in my mind. Soooo... After we hung up the phone, we both started crying hahahahaha. We cried for a good 45 minutes.
BUT after we got over ourselves.... We realized how fun it will be to train! Well at least I did. I think she is still freaking out! But I am getting doubled in to my new area, which just means the area is new to both of us. So that will be refreshing to have literally a fresh start. So fresh :)
I am super sad to leave Eastvale though. I love it here. I love the ward and I have gotten pretty attached to some people! I was pretty sad to say goodbye to everyone but I know this is what's supposed to happen!
Update: Remember that exciting new investigator I told you about last week? Yeah right.. JOKE. She stood us up, so I think we just got a liiiiittle too excited on that one..
We did, however, have a cool miracle happen! So we had talked to this guy named Richard in a parking lot like 2 weeks ago.. and this week we were at Panda Express eating lunch right? So we are sitting outside and this guy comes up to us and is like "Hey do you guys have a minute?" and we both of course said yes.. Well he sat down and it ended up being Richard! We had gone to his house before but he didn't answer. He told us that he worked with some Mormons and we told him a little more about what we believe, cleared some things up like polygamy... hahaha... and he straight up asked if he could have a copy of the Book of Mormon. Super cool! So we gave him one and he said he would let us know what he thought. It was a cool little miracle. I think it was God's way of letting us know everything is going to be okay :)
The Hadley's came to church! Another miracle. I love that family. Sister Hadley started crying when I told her I was leaving. So cute :)
Well.. nothing else to really report. Hopefully next week I will have some good stories for ya!
I am so grateful that Heavenly Father trusts me enough to do this, to train a brand new missionary! I don't know why he does trust me.. but I am glad he does! I think it's because this will force me to be exactly obedient (which I need) and it will make me do everything right. It will be good for me, I've gotten too comfortable. I am so excited for this new part in my mission but I need your prayers! Thanks for all your support always and for everything you guys do for me! I love you alllll and I hope you have a great fabulous week!
Much love,
Sister Anderson :)
