Transfers were on Wednesday, we got a call on Monday saying we were going to have a transfer meeting, and that our house had to be spotless so we cleaned like crazy last P day, and packed everything up. I didn't get transferred though, and I'm still with Elder Bryant. I'm excited to stay because we've been seeing a lot of success. Two weeks ago we had an awesome week and found a lot of new investigators. They're all doing really well. It makes such a difference when members are out with us. We weren't able to get as many members with us this week, and we lost a few days because of the transfer meeting but it's been great. We have one investigator named Osiris who I don't think I've mentioned. He was a referral from a nonmember that we contacted. The guy said he'd taken the missionary lessons, and he had a friend that might be interested. We went by the first time and he loved it. He has an iPad and so did the member who went with us, so he showed him all the church's applications and everything so he's got it all on there. He is really great and he really wants to be able to make changes in his life to follow Jesus Christ, he's really humble too. He told us he's been reading and praying about the Book of Mormon, but hasn't felt anything yet, but that when he said the closing prayer at the end of the first lesson, he did feel something. He wasn't sure what it was that he felt but we told him it was the Spirit, and that those are the experiences that bring us closer to our Father in Heaven. We've had a lot of good experiences and this area is growing a lot. We're going to see baptisms soon.
At the beginning of companionship study we always sing a hymn and pray as an apartment then split into companionships to do studies. Yesterday, we stopped by the house in the middle of the day to get something and we started talking to our next door neighbors. We'd talked to them before, but just in passing, we've never really talked a lot to them but they said they noticed that every day at 9 oclock sharp we sing, and sometimes they stop to listen. I had to apologize that we didn't sing very well. But we did set up an appointment to come over some time to teach them. They've lived next to the missionaries for a long time and they've taken the lessons before, when the sister missionaries lived there.
Anyway, everything is going great here. It's been really hot and sunny all week. Really for the past two weeks. But there hasn't been any rain, so at least we've got that going for us. I'm doing really well and I wish I had enough time to tell you about everything but this will have to do.
