Transfer 12; week 1; North 3

Hello!
I'm a little baffled because I am not in Extended or Cover... so that means that I will not be in the Beehive house anymore. I am still coming to terms with that sad eventuality, but it'll be good. I am companions with Sister Fox from Athol Massachusetts. Yeah, east coast! We're also the only Americans in the entire zone (aside from Sister Shaw and Sister Felici, who people never believe that she is really from Austin Texas), which is so funny considering there were only three international trainees and both of the sisters training got international sisters. This makes zone meetings hilarious, to say the least. I'm going to miss being with internationals.
Missionary work has been wonderful as well. This week has been one of the most productive (teaching wise) my entire mission. I've taught more discussions, invited more people, and helped resolved more concerns than any other time. Needless to say it is also the happiest time of my mission. We have new investigators from all over the world and they are reading from the Book of Mormon as often as they can. (One lost contact with the Internet, but next month it'll be fixed... hence the need for daily contact. There is Such a difference when they don't read... you tell the loss of spirit so much.) I am excited to call people And I got to call Sister Fox's mom to invite her to learn more.... she didn't want to learn more, BUT she said that she knew some people who would love to learn more... in fact she was so excited for me to call them she gave the phone to them so I could invite them there on the spot. They are the sweetest couple in the whole world. I am so excited that I get to help them understand God's plan for their lives. Missionary work is like that sometimes... you find people and they are amazing and they do actually want to learn more and you can't really do anything about it. I mean it is crazy to think that someone who has never heard of our church before would agree after one phone call to meet with missionaries to learn more, but they do. And sometimes when you invite them to be baptized they say yes.... when they haven't even seen a church building before... that is a miracle to me greater than the parting of any Red Sea.

Everything is doing well, and I am enjoying learning more and I had a wonderful pokey stick day (the Korean holiday that is on 11/11... which meant that it was especially special this year) Thanks for all of your love and support.
