Sister Brown and I get a bonus week together because this transfer is 7 weeks long due to the fact that they changed the length of time missionaries stay in the MTC. We are both super grateful to have another week together! So next week I will be getting a new companion who I will be expected to train how to be a Sister Training Leader. I don't even know how to be an STL! And lead out the area....stressful. But "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me" right? And our area is doing really well. Yesterday Diane got baptized! So life is good! The baptism was really nice. She had to be baptized in a chair because she had back surgery recently, but even that went smoothly! I gave a talk on the Holy Ghost and the way the gift of the Holy Ghost allows us to progress so much more quickly in becoming like our Heavenly Father. Diane was so happy and just kept repeating how awesome everything about getting baptized is :)
> Our recent convert Kiernan (who got baptized last month) is on vacation in Texas with her boyfriend, and she gave him a Book of Mormon and dragged him to church with her haha so she is doing great!
> Last Monday when I was up in Paterson I got to see Rose! When I left Paterson almost a year ago I didn't think I was going to get to see her again, but tender mercies are real! She is doing good, she has been through a lot health-wise in the last year but she is doing better with that as well. I took a sneaky video of her reading the Book of Mormon in Armenian but I only caught a couple words of it in the first part of the video. I shall attach it so that you can all enjoy her adorableness! She is one of those people that God knew I needed in my life when he sent me here.
> Tomorrow I get to go to the temple for a zone temple trip because we won a challenge that the mission did, so that is exciting! We will have to leave at 6 a.m. which will feel like 5 a.m. because I have not adjusted to daylight savings time...Oh well, I will get over it!
