Week 76-New President going Hamm with the Spirit

The Oklahoma City mission is up in ca-hoots right now! (in all the best ways)

President Mansell has been having those poor AP's over at his house until who knows how long (1, 2 in the morning) completely diving head on into everything and changing it ALL up. About half of leadership, the STL's and Zone Leaders were dropped (including yours truly), almost EVERY companionship has been switched, and there are also some new callings in the mission, traveling stl or zone leader, who goes and stays with a different companionship every two days or so. (Those are Sister Ryan (from Spokane!) and then previous AP Van Halder)

I will be going up to Enid, I've never served up north before, always south or central, and I will be training Sister Chamberlain for her 2nd transfer in the mission. I'm excited to be that normal missionary again, completely focusing on proselyting. I know this is the Lord's will and I'm excited to go out and apply those lessons I've hopefully learned and hit the ground running with Sister Chamberlain! :)

OKC 2nd has been a blessing for me. Sister Jensen and Washburn have taught me a great deal. I love the city. Pretty excited to go to boonies again though.

Miracle time. What a blessing. Sister Washburn and I set a goal to be exactly obedient for a week and see what the Lord will do with that. I hope that doesn't sound hypocritical. We were being obedient before, but just taking extra care to follow everything, and well, we received a call on thursday of this lady, Debra Kimball, who has a lot of family who are members. She asked us "what do I have to do to do to be baptized"? I was on the phone with her "Well, you will meet with us and take some lesson.." She interrupted "Yes yes I know honey, I'm 61 and not getting any younger. My time is ticking. I know Christ is my Savior and I need this. Now."
...

Even as I'm writing this out I still can't believe it. Debra will be getting baptized. And just like that, Heavenly Father showed both us just how in charge of all of this is. I have such a testimony of Obedience. It truly is the first law of Heaven.

I'm sorry that I haven't spoken much about people this transfer I feel like. It has been a great deal of finding and then dropping in two weeks or less, but alas, it's progressing!

I love you. Keep up sharing this gospel.

Sister Call

1) Carla. She was incredible! We knocked on her door and she felt so strongly that this was all true. But then the father at the catholic church she did attend rather put an end to it all. Father Jorge rather ruined our morning :/

She's wonderful though!
