Dear all y'all,
Transfer calls came on Saturday night, and I'm going to
Lorna, in Hoover Alabama! It's near Birmingham and I'm going to be in another
Spanish Branch with Sister Barton (she came out with Hna. Acosta, so I'm
killing her off (that means sending her home) ) and Sister Mitchell is killing off sister Acosta in Bessemer!
Previously, in Huntsville:
One miracle we had was on Tuesday. Huntsville C asked us to
go to a neighborhood near the church/us to tell a lady that they wouldn't be
able to come by that day but they would tomorrow (they didn't have her number)
but if she wanted we could share a message with her instead though. En route,
due to me getting lost (which happens with more frequency than should after
spending 3 transfers in one area haha) we met a young woman named S. Martin (we're going to look into if we're related somehow ;) ). She told us
that her husband is a member of our church, that she almost got baptized last
year but had to move, but now they're back and she is still interested. She
gave us her address and number and also told us she's planning on quitting
smoking this week. I'm sad that I'm leaving but I know that what needed to
happen, happened, and what God needs to happen, will happen.
We also tracted into a gentleman I met with Sister Acosta a while back that we had given a BOM to. He said he hadn't had much time to read it yet, but that he had been thinking about getting back into a church, so maybe this was a sign. Maybe. ;) He invited us to come back and talk with him more.
Small tender mercy: Sister Portilla and I both strongly dislike bees/hornets/things of that nature and there were a TON out this week during the warm spell when we were tracting. How many times did we get stung? CERO. Hahahaha. Yay for protection from ALL evil - including rude insects.
I've seen so many miracles in Huntsville, and I'm sad to be leaving, but I'm also ready to go now since God needs me elsewhere. :)

The Church is true,
The Book is blue,
Lorna in two, (days)
and God loves you!

P.S. - We did indeed get the St Patrick's package and we were able
to give K. and M.K. a copy of the Book of Mormon as well as a few others. We haven't gotten any
from the mission yet, no. Maybe now that we have transfers we will, but I'm not
sure. Thank you SOOO MUCH Mama

Laurel was happy to get some BOMs in her package
since the mission has been out of them for awhile!
Saying goodbye to Hna. Portilla
