Well, transfers were pretty crazy! Lots of changes in the mission, but Sister Miller and I both stayed in the Elk Grove ward. Sister Miller has never had the same companion for two full transfers so we will see if I really do break the trend! Things are going pretty well. This week is going to be another super hot one but from what I hear it should start cooling down from now on. That will be a huge blessing for me! I do not handle heat well. Just not a hot weather person. Probably because I was raised in an arctic wasteland. :) Our temple tour on Saturday evening went well, our member really enjoyed it. We're hoping that, combined with our efforts, will inspire her to work towards being prepared to go through the temple. I was blessed with the opportunity to go to the temple this morning. We had to get up really early, but it was worth it of course! It was awesome coming early because it was especially pretty before full daylight. The lights were still on illuminating it and then the sky was a hazy pink and purple color. So pretty. Wish I had a picture but there wasn't time. We met a cool lady named Sonja the other day. We were looking for someone else that had said they were interested but they have moved so we met her. She was really cool. Very Christian and we had a really nice conversation with her and gave her a copy of the Book of Mormon. We're not sure of her interest level just yet but either way I know it was a conversation that we were supposed to have and that always feels good. I just really have a strong testimony of the Book of Mormon. That book is so amazing. I always learn so much from it, and I feel so blessed to live in a time where we know that Heavenly Father is still speaking to us through His prophets. President Hinckley said, "Those who have read the Book of Mormon prayerfully, be they rich or poor, learned or unlearned, have grown under its power...Without reservation I promise you that if you will prayerfully read the Book of Mormon, regardless of how many times you previously have read it, there will come into your hearts...the Spirit of the Lord. There will come a strengthened resolution to walk in obedience to his commandments, and there will come a stronger testimony of the living reality of the Son of God." Keep studying the Book of Mormon! It's the best book in the world!
Love,
