It's really surprising that I am still in Shenandoah. No one thought that I was staying. I have just had the 2 areas, and I have this transfer and one after. So I honestly have no idea what would happen. I could just stay and end my mission here or I could leave and have one transfer somewhere else. Honestly it's rare to be in an area (and to be transferred out of an area your last transfer) but it's also rare to stay for 7 transfers. So... who knows! I am still needed here.
The weather has been kinda crazy here too. It's been pretty hot for fall! It's been in the 80's like all week but I think that it is going to start cooling down.
We weren't able to watch Women's Conference. They were supposed to set it up at the church and I guess someone forgot and no one ended up setting it up. And we didn't know till about 5 minutes before and we couldn't find anyone that was watching it that lived close. So we didn't get to watch it. But we had already planned on watching it with Michelle at a member's house on Tuesday, so we will get to watch it then!
Also on Saturday we had Shen Fest, like the city's festival. It actually was really huge! They had a parade that was over an hour long with marching bands from all over Iowa. We were able to see a ton of people that we knew and were able to see some of our investigators and meet some new people. It was awesome!
The mission president has really been encouraging us to hand out more copies of the Book of Mormon and we tried a lot this week. Surprisingly, we found that a lot of people already have them or they had a copy and had met with missionaries before. It was so cool to be able to meet them and we were able to make appointments with a lot of them.
And we have been able to see a lot of success with our investigators. We had 3 of them come to church this Sunday. One of the less-actives we have been working with had a friend that wanted to learn more, so he had Leonard (the investigator) come to his lesson. And he came to church and told us at church that he has been reading the Book of Mormon and is looking forward to our appointment this week!
There also has been a lot going on with the movie "Meet the Mormons". It is coming to Omaha in the next couple of weeks, which is pretty huge! And they are encouraging us to go with our investigators and members!
Other than that, it's pretty much the same here!
Thanks, love you guys!
