"Can you write your boss and ask him to make it easier?"

Hahahahaha the title this week just makes me laugh sooo hard! This week we met with one of our Persian investigators named Katayoun and when we asked about her Book of Mormon reading she said it was really hard to understand. She then asked us to ask our "boss" if he could make it more modern and easier to understand. It was really funny. She also asked us to come and read to the children in her neighborhood because they apparently don't have enough supervision and she doesn't want them to start smoking and getting into bad stuff. Of all the requests we get from investigators, it's actually a very noble request. Sadly we can't help with that.  But some other good news is that her nephew who we have also taught-he wasn't there- but we called him on the phone and he has been reading a page in the Book of Mormon every day since we last saw them two weeks ago!!! Which is amazing!

Well. I am settling in to training now. It's definitely a weird adjustment going from having all companions that have been out longer than me to one that is brand new, but it is actually really fun. It's fun to see her progress and watch her learn and grow.

A cool miracle this week was simply the fact that the Lord truly blesses us for our efforts. Sister Hannig and I have been trying REALLY hard to always be contacting. We set a goal to talk to someone before even getting on any train or Bahn. After doing that all day on Tuesday we still weren't having any takers. But finally that night right before our last train we talked to a really cool lady from Portugal and we were able to exchange phone numbers. The Lord really does bless us.


This week was also pretty sad though. This week we had our very last zone conference with President Stoddard and I had my very last interview with him as well. I am truly going to miss that man. The pure love I have felt from him and his genuine care and desire to help me be a better missionary has helped me so much on my mission. I am so grateful I was able to serve with him and get to know him during these past 9 months.
