Crazy last week of the transfers! As many of you have heard, I am staying here in the River Park Ward with Sister Golightly! Sister Brandley was transferred down to Lodi. I already miss her so much but I know she is going to be doing amazing things down in the hills. By the end of this transfer, I will have been in Rancho Cordova Zone for four transfers (or six months)! I can hardly believe that it has been that long, it feels like I just showed up yesterday. I love it here in the River Park Ward and I'm excited to keep serving! (Also, transfers are the reason why I am writing on Tuesday instead of the usual Monday)
Highlights of the Week!
- We had a couple of great lessons with some of our new friends this week! We were able to teach Pauline about prophets and the Sisters in the Roseville Mission were able to drop off a fijian Book of Mormon for her to read! She was super grateful to have her own copy of the Book of Mormon and has committed to reading it this week!
- We had an awesome lesson with our new friend Nick the other day! We focused on how much God loves him and his daughters. He told us that even though what we told him was pretty new to him, he still wanted to try it and find out for himself that what we are saying is true! Nick also committed to reading the Book of Mormon this week!
- Thanks to technology, we were able to have a couple of lessons with some friends that Sister Golightly taught while she was in the Philippines! Not only was it a miracle that the technology allowed us to reach out to them, but both of her friends are wanting to be baptized! It was so incredible to get to connect with them and share with them our testimonies! (and yes, I'm still working on improving my tagalog skills)
- We celebrated the end of the transfer by going to this taco truck that one of our members had recommended! The food was pretty great, the crowd outside the truck was exciting (hehe), and we survived!
- Our mission had a couple of really amazing Zoom devotionals this week! We got to hear from one of the daughters of President Nelson, Hank Smith, and the brand new Young Men's General President. Even though quarantine means we have to stay inside pretty much all day, I am so grateful for the amazing devotionals we've been able to have as a mission over Zoom every morning! It definitely fills up my spiritual tank!
- Shout out to Elder Jensen (one of my ZLs) and the chocolate chip cookie recipe from his mom. I've been baking chocolate chip cookies for the past 4 days.
Once again, this has been a crazy but awesome week! I'm so grateful for all of the blessings and tender mercies from this past transfer and I'm excited to see what the Lord has in store for this transfer! God is truly a God of MIRACLES!
Lots of Love,
Sister Ferrin
P.S. As many of you have heard, there has been a lot of crazy stuff recently in the USA. I've had a couple of people ask how we are doing in regards to being so close to downtown Sacramento and the Capitol Building. We are safe and have been asked to follow some extra precautions. We are not allowed to leave the apartment past 8pm and we are asked not to go downtown (or even midtown). So, yes. I am safe and sound!
Our fancy address:
