How has everyone been in life? I hope all is going well :)

This week was really interesting! I have definitely learned a lot! First bit of news: my companion is getting transferred tomorrow! And I am taking over my area. Yay!! It will be great, and I am excited to see who my new companion is!

This past week has been tons of fun!? I have been sick, so much that we stayed in 4 days with the exception of going to church on Sunday. I really hope we can figure out what is up with my health, but all will be well. I was able to finish the Book of Mormon for the first time on my mission! I love it and I know that it is true! I also was able to start it again and get through half of Mosiah. Wow! I just realized how much I have read...jeepers! This time through I am using one of the ones we give out and highlighting all of the times that Jesus Christ is mentioned. Truly incredible! There is not a page that goes by that He is not mentioned or referred to.

Another thing that I have learned this week, that faith is action. If I want to be healed and to go back to work: I have to actually go to work. So that is what I am doing, despite the pain and the sickness that I am in. It is hard, but if I continue to keep a smile on; it is possible. I don't know when this will get better, but hopefully in a couple of weeks! I know it will.

We had an investigator come to church with her son this Sunday! It was the first time we met her, and she is amazing! She was a temple referral, and we heard that she has the most incredible story! I am excited to hopefully continue to work with her, Sayah: she is from Iran and needs to be interviewed first by a member of our Mission Presidency. But she really enjoyed church!

I really don't have a lot to say this week. A lot of it (since Wednesday) has been me so sick lying in bed, and my companion keeping herself busy with study or watching church movies. Definitely a fun week :) It wasn't too bad, we were still able to teach some lessons.

I love you all and hope to hear from you soon!

love,
