This week has been CRAZY! I had my very first Transfer Doctrine!! We received transfer doctrine on Friday and that whole day we were freaking out!! My companion, Hermana Thompson has already been in Woodland for three transfers and it is unusual if a missionary stays in one area for more than three transfers. I was nervous because I didn't want my trainer to leave me and she was nervous to see where she was going. Also, Sister Alba calls sister missionaries on Friday to give them new assignments if they were chosen to be a STL, trainer or on a special assignment. So if we were to get a call from Sister Alba then it would be more than likely that Hermana Thompson is leaving. So all day Friday we were nervous! Well it was 5PM on Friday. We were on our way to dinner and our phone rings. It is Sister Alba. I freak out and am like, "IT'S SIS. ALBA!!" My companion doesn't believe me! I had to tell her three times that it was sis. Alba before she actually believed me! So I answer the phone trying to sound normal, "Hello this is Hermana Hamblin and Hermana Thompson!" Sis. Alba is so sweet! She was so sweet! She was like, "Hello Hermanas! How are you sisters doing?" She explained that we were BOTH staying together in WOODLAND!! But she had a new assignment for Hermana Thompson! Hermana Thompson is the new STL! We are so excited! :) We have work to do here in Woodland! :)
About two weeks ago Hermana Thompson and I were out contacting and we ran into some teenagers. They were smoking and drinking a little. We talked to them for awhile but found out they weren't really interested.We gave them our card with our number on it and told them to call if they change their minds. As we were walking away Hermana Thompson was saying that they are going to need a life changing event that will bring them to the gospel. We kept on contacting for the night. A week goes by and we get this phone call from a random number. We answer and it turns out to be one of the kids who were talking to us! His name is Carlos and he is 20 yrs. old. He said that he had been in a really bad car accident and that the police told him that he should have died. His car should have flipped over but for some miracle it didn't. The police officer saw the LDS card and asked if Carlos was a member. Carlos said no. The officer said that he should really consider going to church. So he called us! Cool huh!? So we meet him on Saturday night and just talked to him and invited him to a fireside that was being held in Davis on Sunday. He showed up to that! We have another appointment with him tonight as well :) The only sad thing is, is that he lives literally right outside our area. So we have to hand him over to the elders tonight! We are so sad about that! But maybe he is meant to meet with the elders. Anyways he is GOLDEN :) We are so excited for him!
And family! Why didn't I hear about Mandy! You guys are supposed to keep me updated! Riann was the only one who said something! Keep me updated!! How is everyone?? Is that really cute Sister missionary still serving there? I can't remember her name. She served with Sis. Roberts. Have you guys heard from Sis. Roberts?? I loved those two! :)
