Sister Emma Ferrin mission blog: Three is Better Than Two... But FOUR Wins Hands Down

Hello Everyone!

Once again, this past week was pretty crazy but super great! Our biggest piece of news has to do with the title of my weekly. We got a call from President Zimmerman this weekend informing us that we are going to be training... and by we, I mean all three of us! WE ARE GOING TO BE A COMPANIONSHIP OF FOUR. Haha, before you all question how that is going to work, it is only for a week and a half, since transfers are next week. Our new companion is coming a week early and needs a place to stay so she is joining us in the Eastern Avenue ward! We are picking her up this afternoon and we are PUMPED!

Other Highlights of the week!

- SUNDAY MIRACLE: So we had scheduled to come over and have church with Tish and Alex (our favorite Part Member Family) but when Sunday morning rolled around, they cancelled. Then they asked to reschedule for Sunday evening. But then they cancelled again. At this point, we were all kinda feeling discouraged but then God stepped in! They texted us Sunday evening and wanted us to come over! So we dropped everything and we were able to have a super spiritual Sunday service with them! It was absolutely amazing and Alex even got a little emotional! Moral of the Story: Trust in God and don't get discouraged! Also, Tish and Alex have been doing Come Follow Me and they LOVE IT!

- We had a lesson with our friend Zackie and he is reading the Book of Mormon! And he says that he knows it's true! He went on about how we need to be more humble like Nephi and how God trusts us when we are humble! It was honestly so incredible! He is so excited to learn more about Jesus Christ and it is amazing!

- We did a couple of Zone Service Projects this past week that were so much fun! We were able to help a lady in our stake lay and cement pavers together in her backyard.

- Another crazy miracle: last transfer, this random guy messaged Sorella Finlinson on Facebook and instead of blocking him (a normal gut reaction), she started messaging him and asked him if he would like to learn more about the gospel. He said yes, so we gave his number to the Spanish elders in our zone (because his first language is Spanish). They ended up referring him to the Hermanas in Utah, since that is where he is from. Well, we got a call on Saturday (a couple months later) from the Spanish elders saying that he had been baptized that day!!! SO AWESOME! Second moral of the story: Facebook miracles are real!

- The sweetest lady paid for our meal the other day! I can't even express how grateful I am for the members out here! They are absolutely incredible!

- I hit 14 months this past week!

It has been such a humbling and faith-building week! All I can really say is my testimony that I know this is the Lord's work and that we can trust in His timing! I am so grateful for the amazing people God has put in my life! Thank you for all of your love and support!

Have a miracle-filled week!

Lots of love,

Sister Ferrin
