Yes,
we have started a NEW transfer! Wahoo. I know I didn't really tell you
about that, because I figured we were staying. And we are not!! We are
getting split up!! Weird right? Just kidding!! (<-makes me think of
Jess) We are staying. I know, you were surprised for just a second. But
no, we are staying here in Huntington in our cute little yellow house.
This
week has been crazy! I bet that you are wondering why I did not email
you on Monday, and I bet it just ruined your whole day not to hear from
me. Just Kidding again (<-Jess). But it was sure long for me to chug
through these past few days! But since Transfers is tomorrow, they
changed preparation day to Wednesday this week. So, no I did not die,
(well...maybe kind of, but not literally) I am doing well! My random
health things have gotten much better this past week. I am very grateful
for the prayers that you have said and the support you have given me, I
am doing much better!
So, first of all, it has been great! Sister Colton
and I have been praying a lot recently for the Lord to help us find
someone who we could baptize in this next transfer, and he surely has.
Saranna has been given a baptismal date of August 23rd! She will
hopefully bet getting baptized with her brother, Jeremiah. It will be
wonderful! We are very excited. Speaking of their family, we have had
some wonderful fellowshippers! We invited Sister Miller to come teach
them with us this past week, and she willingly came. But when we got
there, they were running around like crazy because they had a house
inspection. So, they asked us if we could clean. Sister Miller was sooo
open to just cleaning the house! She stayed there with us for 2 hours
and cleaned and taught a lesson with us. Then, when we said we had to go
after the lesson, she got up and said "Well Saranna, lets go and finish
your room!!" and went back and still kept cleaning. We don't' know how
long she stayed, but we know that she helped them sooo much! She is
wonderful. Also, Sister Bair helped us so much. We were trying to get a
member to go with us all day, and no one could. Then, last minute Sister
Bair texted us and offered to come. We went to give Susan a
lesson about Enduring to the End, but after talking with Susan a little
bit about her finances, Sister Bair suggested to us that we teach her
about Tithing instead. So, according to the spirit, we taught Susan
about the law of tithing. Sister Bair was perfect for that lesson! It
was something that she struggled with when she was becoming re-activated
and she could bear a very strong testimony! It was wonderful. The Lord
knew that we were going to be teaching another lesson that night, and he
knew that Sister Bair needed to be the member to come with us. There is
always a reason for everything!
Also, we did
service last week at a less-actives couples house. We were outside in
the HOTT (104 degrees) weather painting their deck and stapling chicken
wire up around it. Let me tell you, it was HOTT! It reminded me of Stadium of Fire when you are just hot and miserable and soaked from
head to toe...yeah...it was crazy. Except, no one was coming around with
sprayers to cool you off. Not so fun. But at the same time, we had a
blast! We ended up talking with them at the end for a spiritual thought,
and we found out that the brother doesn't have much of a testimony
of the Book of Mormon at all. He just joined the church for the
politics. It was really heart breaking for us. I could literally feel
the sorrow of the Savior in my heart. To the point that I started to cry
as I bore my testimony to him. It was a hard moment for me and the
Savior as he expressed his great desire for him to come unto Him. But we
will work with him to resolve all of his concerns and get him back to
church.
But!
Church this week was GREAT! We had 7 less active members there (the
Ahrens, the Minches, Sister Lloyd, Sister Rydell, and Sister Davis), who
we have been working with and 5 investigators! SO great!
Thank you for all of your prayers and concern again! I love you all!!!!
Love, Sister Farr
