Steven & Companions at Niagara Falls

So I got transfer calls this week and guess what? We are staying as is. I am very excited about that because I have been feeling like I still have some work to do here. 

This week has been another great week! We had some really good lessons with our investigators and they are starting to progress more and more. We had a Strawberry Social last Friday which was a great success. Only two of our investigators were able to come which was disappointing but there was nothing we could do. But our investigator (Ashley) who is scheduled to get baptized brought one of her friends (John) along. He has been wanting to meet with us and learn more about our religion! So we met and talked with him at the social which was awesome. He seems very interested and loves the way our church is run and the people that he has met. We found out after the meeting that a member asked if he was a member and he said, "No, I am not but I will be soon" !!!!!! I was like what???!!!! Ha it was pretty funny. So we are super stoked about talking with him (John) and teaching him so that he can become a member.

Another awesome experience happened after church yesterday. We are running low on miles for the month, and we are trying to not drive at all! So we have been hitching rides with members and basically anyone that will drive us. After church we were talking with one of the Senior missionary couples in our ward about some of the people they have been meeting with, and we asked if they would like to come and meet Bonnie with us? (we needed a ride haha). They said of course so we went out there and no one was home except for her son Charlie. We were a little down and started to drive out of their driveway, when Bonnie, her husband Larry, and a friend Regina (from Utah a church member) pull in. We hop out and begin to talk to them and they invite us in their home. It was a great visit and we were definitely inspired to invite the Senior couple to visit. They meshed so well and now they will feel even more comfortable when they come to church. It is pretty crazy some of the connections we have been making. I guess Bonnies brother is John, the owner of Milanos music in Mesa and his last name is Linton (Crazy right). He has been a stake president or bishop and is coming up soon!!! She is so ready to accept the Gospel, now and her husband is slowly deciding to come back to church. We are pretty excited to be a part of this and we are really praying that all will work out.

Thanks for all of your support I could not do this without you.
