Moving Week

So for this week we had Zone Conference and Elder Golden of the Seventy came with his wife and we had the opportunity to shake their hands :) He taught so much and it was a really awesome experince and an honor to listen to a man called of God. Even though it lasted for many hours but it did not feel like it. 

Lets see our investigators.... Gracie. She is a new one who is a friend of the Saucedo family and we taught her and talked about the Book of Mormon and the Holy Ghost. We had her read Moroni 10 verses 4 and 5. After she read that, we could all see the Holy Ghost working within her.. tears came to her eyes and she said she wanted to know. And some time soon she wants us to come by her house and say a prayer with her (she had askedus to come bless her home) but we can tell she feels that this is true so we are super excited for her!!! We have Eduardo and maggie, last night we had a party for Elder Guthrie or Hermano Gonzales planned one and we had a family home evening with them and a few of the members shared really powerful testimonies of the church and how much it has blessed their lives. I think she really appreciated it and we hope she will be more open to coming to church and such. Juanita and Keyla... We have not had the opportunity to see them in a while... she has not answered her phone in a while which worries us....

Also this week I got to go on exhanges with Elder Johnson (who is being transfered already :( ) but I got to ride home at 8 30 in 30 degree weather and rain which was awesome!!!! And all the Next day I was with him in 30 degree dry weather, it was sweet!! After those two days we had zone conference and then we wetre suppose to move on thursday. So we started tossing all the furniture because we were told we were getting all new furniture and appliances and everything. So by that time thursday at like in the afternoon all we have are our beds and supplies. Then we get a call from Elder Upham( a Senior Elder) saying we werent moving... so we are all freaking out cuz everything is gone and we were told we were moving that day. So we ask why and it was for shower curtains and cleaning. So we told him we would clean and go shower at the old one till we got them (which took a day to get) But then we had to get our apartment checked so that took some time and we had to sort through supplies that we did not need because elders had been stock pileing it up haha so we got all that somewhat figured out and we still have to clean a little but the old apartment looks better than before haha. lets see so This week the weather forecast said there was a possibility of snow... hhmmmm haha sweet!! but so far it hasn't  :/

Also we had Stake Conference as well and our stake was split and we have a new ward in one of them, The New Hope ward haha It does not really affect us because we cover both stakes with our spanish branch. Also Elder Corbridge was present with the president of the mission, President and Sister Slaughter. It was awesome!! I also got to witness a mission call opening for one of the elders in our zone. I do not know all the details but he has been reassigned to the Fresno, California mission haha so me and my companions stayed to watch along with the mission president and his wife haha. 

A funny story for the week!!! So when people get transfered, the President calls or the AP's do, so Elder Morrin was joking around with me all afternoon that I was going to get transfered and so whenever a text would come in he would pretend to talk on the phone ( I could see the screen and they were txts) But anyways later he starts talking on the phone and runs upstairs to give it to Elder Guthrie and he started talking and then hung up and told me i was being transfered to Serenada. And i was like what!! i just got here and I love it!! The people and the branch and everything! So later that night, last night, we were at the dinner for Elder Guthrie and I told Angel ( Hermano Gonzales's son who is leaving to Farmington New Mexico for his mission on the 18th) and word spread so all these people are saying goodbye and everything. Then we get home and Elder Morrin gets his camera out and starts filming and I was so confused and then they tell me I was not getting transfered. They had set this whole thing up lol (Hermano Gonzales knows) haha but it was so funny!! but ya anyway that was the week. :) 

We now live at 2410 Great Oaks Drive #702, Round Rock Texas, 78681. I will be here through Christmas, transfers are every six weeks and we are going to have one this week so I will be here unless I have an emergency transfer, but i will let you know if that happens haha. 

I love and miss all of you and I hope you have a great Thanks Giving!! :)
