But no pun in ten (minutes) did...

I couldn't really think of any puns or jokes from this week, and I
have been trying to think of one. But no pun in ten (minutes) did...

Anyways, this week was filled with ups and downs. One of the downs was
that Saprina was supposed to be baptized Saturday night. Everything
was set up, we were all there for the baptism, and she and the YSA
missionaries never showed up. Apparently, she had some last minutes
doubts, so they were at her apartment talking through it. We said a
prayer as a group though, and the Spirit was so strong as it was being
said. But I wanted to cry because I was so sad and my heart was a
little broken. But the YSA sisters got it figured out, and it looks
like she will be getting baptized next month.
The other down was that we got a text from the Cannan family saying
that the kids' dad doesn't understand their desire to go to church,
and he doesn't want them going. ðŸ˜­ another heartbreak from this week.

On a lighter note, our investigator Darla Palmer came to the ward
activity we had on Friday and was able to meet some people from the
ward. And quite a few members came up and introduced themselves to
her, so that was great! We also had some awesome sacrament meetings on
Sunday. One was designed for nonmembers, and the Spirit was so strong
as the simple doctrines and principles of the gospel were taught. One
of these was the Restoration. The member who spoke on this topic did a
great job, and basically said something similar to what almost any
missionary probably would have said if they were asked to speak on it.
As this member spoke, it really made me realize the power that the
message of the Restoration has and the Spirit it can bring into the
room as we testify of it.

Oh, and we got transfer news. I'm staying with Sister Clark in the
same area, but we will be moving to a difference place to live for
this transfer. Only 3 transfers to go ðŸ˜±

Anyways, I love y'all.

These kids got baptized (They were taught by Sister Clark in her
last area. I did teach them one lesson though when I was in a trio
temporarily with Sister Clark)

I think all missionaries could probably use this lol #stressed
