God is really funny sometimes!!

So this week has been interesting.  I have been feeling SOOO much better, I had a migraine one day and that was it, but, God is really funny so he decided to give me a deathly sick companion.....yeah, I'm finally healthy and then Sister Ryser comes and she happens to have a super bad cold, cough, throw up thing.  So we had to stay at our apartment for 3 days......I don't know what God is trying to teach me, any help with that would be appreciated.  It was good in the fact that I got to study a lot though.

I started reading Jesus the Christ, and can I just tell you, that book, as hard as some of it is to understand, is INCREDIBLE!!!!  I have learned so much about my Savior, and have come so much closer to him, and I'm only on chapter 11!!!  I can't wait to learn more and have my testimony in Him strengthened even more!!

So like I said I got a new companion! Her name is Sister Ryser, she is from South Jordan, UT, and she's only 19, and she's what you'd expect of a 19 year old girl, she is boy crazy (aka Elder Crazy)!! But she is a really good missionary so, I'm excited for this transfer, I think it will be good, we'll be able to help this area so much, I know it!!

Yesterday we were asked, 2 minutes before it started, to teach Gospel Principles....gotta love being a missionary :) It started out pretty rough, but by the end the spirit was so strong, and everybody in the class, including Kaale our investigator, committed to bring a non-member to church next week!! I'm praying that actually happens, we have a rough time getting investigators to church, if the ward can help then it will be soooooooo awesome!!

This week my love for the Parkland ward has just grown, I'm scared for when I get transferred, its going to be like leaving home all over again!! They have truly become like my family!! I love them so much, and they take such good care of us! I think I would have gone home by now if it wasn't for this ward, and for the senior couple, The Chaney's, but God sent me to them to uplift and strengthen me and I'm so grateful!!

I wish I had more exciting and miraculous news for you guys, but it was just another week in the life of a missionary.  I love you all so much!  Have a great week!!

I love you!!!!
