Oh man... this past week was CRAZY! Buckle up!
Highlights!
- I have a brand new companion! BUT... I'm still companions with Sister Brandley. What could this possibly mean? TRIO LIFE! So on Wednesday Sister Brandley and I got a call from the mission office informing us that they were bringing us an extra bed, drawer, and desk for our apartment. Then that night, our zone leaders called us to let us know that we were getting a new companion! On Friday, we drove to the mission office to pick Sister Golightly up! She is from Salt Lake City and had been serving in the Philippines for about nine months when she was sent home, quarantined, and reassigned to the Cal Sac mission! We are so pumped to have her with us and to have her teach us a little Tagalog!
- We had a lesson with Ted this Saturday but before the lesson, Sister Brandley felt prompted to invite a specific sister in our ward to join us in the video chat. The sister agreed and joined us which was good because IT WAS THE MOST AMAZING LESSON WITH TED EVER! The sister from the ward shared her conversion story and how she received an answer to know that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is God's church on the earth today. Her story and testimony was exactly what Ted needed to hear and the Spirit was SO strong! We boldly testified that this is God's church and everything finally clicked for him. So we recommited him to be baptized on May 30th and he said YES! In fact he said that he had been praying about it and every time that he read the Book of Mormon he felt peace so he wants to be baptized and become a member of God's church! We were literally almost all in tears! It was such an incredible experience and we are so excited for Ted to be able to enter on to the covenant path! So PLEASE keep him in your prayers these next few weeks! He needs all the spiritual encouragement and strength that he can get!
- A little bit of sad news now. We received a text from Devin this week asking to hold off on lessons for the time being. He said that he wants some time to really think about things for himself and to connect more with God before moving forward. We are sad to release him for the time being but we have much faith that he will be able to get an answer to his prayers and will want to continue meeting with missionaries in the future! So prayers for Devin too!
- Our zone leaders convinced us to try this one restaurant called Kiki's Chicken Place in Sacramento. It was super good and now the entire zone is obsessed with it. So if you are ever in the Sacramento area, I highly recommend going to Kiki's and trying their fries!
It was such a crazy but exciting week! We got to teach so many wonderful lessons to our friends, members, and friends back at home! The Lord has been so good to me and it is very clear that this is His work! I absolutely love being here in Sacramento, even if we have to be in an apartment all day, there isn't anywhere else that I'd rather be!
I love you all so much and I hope and pray that you all have a fantastic week!
Lots of Love,
Sister Ferrin
