Week 15 - Transfer outcomes

July 30, 2009

Hi Everyone!
Well as you all know, we had transfers this past week. Ready for the results??????? (*ahem, drum roll please)................Sister Deal and I are staying together Yet Again in Dover. Shocking right???????? That was exactly my thoughts!! Absolutely shocking. I'm not going to get greenie busted until I'm 4 1/2 months into the mission....maybe even 6 months if I stay with her til her end!! Weird, I know! But I guess we are both needed here for some reason that we don't know yet. Now since we both weren't transfered at all, that also meant that we didn't get to go to Pittsburgh :( At our last zone conference, President Summerhays told us that all the sisters would go to transfer meeting so we could all meet eachother and get to know everyone, etc etc. Well, when we got our phone call about us staying together, our district leader also told us that we couldn't go now. Sad huh? We blocked out our whole day, we even got a member of our ward to take us! We were so excited to go meet everyone. So you can imagine the disappointment we felt. Having our whole day blocked out also meant no appointments, which then meant that we had to tract all day long!!! And wouldn't you guess, it was the hottest day we've had this whole summer. Transfers were kind of a bummer but all is well now.
So two funny stories to tell you. The first is that last Friday or Saturday, I can't remember which one, I went to go take out the trash in our apartment. On the way out it scratched my leg but I didn't really think anything of it except "ouch" until after I came back in. When I got back in, I looked down at my leg and it was COVERED in blood!! What could have scratched me to make me bleed that bad? Who knows. It's been bleeding ever since too, it got me real bad! Well on Tuesday, I was changing my bandaid and sister deal came in and looked very concerned. haha, she finally fessed up and admitted "I broke a glass and threw it in the trash and that's what attacked your leg!!!!" hahaha! 4 days later, she finally tells me it was a glass she threw away! Really, that just makes the story even better!
Next story is.....Krista you'll like this one (it's a good finding one)...we were tracting last night in an apartment complex. We were talking to this man named Alan just about the restoration and things. When we brought up the Book of Mormon, his eyes lit up. He was CURRENTLY watching Glenn Beck when we knocked on his door and he told us that he agrees with a lot of Glenn's opinions and thoughts. So he is very interested in reading the Book of Mormon. He said he was going to do it that night! hahaha. Of course we got a return appointment with him so I'm excited to see how it turns out. And THANK YOU Glenn Beck for being such a great media representative for the church! I just thought there was no better timing for us to knock on his door :)
Anyway, the work is still doing really well. Things are stil rolling along. Thanks for all you do! I sure do love all of you! Miss you lots and lots!
Love, Sister LaMont
