Hello family and friends!!!!

Another eventful week that's for sure! Transfer meeting was quite the shocker at least for me:) My new companion is adorable, her name is Sister Lambson, yeah everyone just laughs when they meet us. She has been out for 6 weeks and so I'm her follow up trainer and I have never felt so inadequate. President Collins talked to me afterwards and told me that the Lord will make me equal to the task. Sister Lambson is an absolute blast and we are just having fun and working hard that's for sure. We have had quite the experiences, oh me oh my, but thankfully we have just been laughing the whole time after the craziness.

The branch members have been so wonderful and are the best fellowshippers. Chris Yim, who is our recent convert has been so amazing and taking care of one of our investigators, Keon. He is always calling him to hang out and it's been so good for Keon. The elders in the White River ward had a baptism and Keon was able to come and he loved it and I know that he really felt the spirit. We talked to him afterwards about Christ being baptized and how that authority that Christ was baptized with is the same authority that we have today. Sister Lambson and I have been doing a lot of finding this week and we have seen little miracles as we have been doing that. We were on campus the other day and talked to quite a few people and then we started talking with a guy named Joe, who had lots of questions and we had a great discussion with him. We gave him a Book of Mormon and he was very open minded about it and wanted to read it. We are going to follow up with him this week. We also tracted some apartment complexes by campus and oh my goodness, we met some funny people that were so awkward at the same time and it was just a good time. We knocked on a girls door and she invited us in and her roomates joined us well. Everything was going well and they were very sweet but then they just started throwing fireballs at us!!!! I think they have the Bible memorized or something cuz it got pretty intense. We did the best we could to resolve their concerns, and we read some verses from the Bible and the Book of Mormon, but they were not open to the Book of Mormon at all. One of the girls just handed it back to us at the end and just was not willing to accept our message. It was hard to have our testimonies challenged like that but I know that the spirit was there and we pretty much just testified the entire time. Oh man we just walked feeling like what in the world just happened but Sister Lambson and I remembered something that Preach My Gospel says and that Christ was completely perfect and he was still rejected and so some people's hearts are just not ready but I know we walked out of there with our testimonies strengthned.

We were tracting in those same apartment complexes and met this sweet girl, Michelle. She is from China and hasn't really had a lot of knowledge of God. Then yesterday at church she showed up!!!!!! We were so excited that she came. We are going to teach her this week and we are just thrilled that she enjoyed church too. Also we have been working with some elders with a YSA, Luke, and he is getting baptized on Saturday. He loves the YSA branch and wants to be baptized into the branch. We met with him lastnight and he is so ready, he has a good knowledge of the gospel and in Sunday school yesterday he made some great comments about the plan of salvation. We taught him about priesthood authority and he totally gets it and understands baptism. We are pretty excited about that!!

Yeah it's been a crazy awesome week though. We have a new zone leader Elder Ketch, who is hillarious and I know he will do a good job with Elder Van Zant. And we also have a new district leader, Elder Williams. We were suprised to find out that Elder Eames was leaving. He told us on Monday morning that he wasn't getting transferred then Monday night at like 10:30 he got a call saying he was being transferred. This mission is just full of suprises:)

Love,
Sister Lamb
