So normally transfers are 6 weeks but because
of circumstances this was 7 weeks. It has been an amazing transfer. My
companion was amazing and the area was just fantastic! I am staying in
my area and I am training a new missionary. I am so excited for her to
come to such an amazing ward! She will love it! I am also hanging out
with the sisters in Bandon today because I am companion-less. So I don't
have a ton of time to write because today has been crazy! But I want to
tell you all highlights!!!!
One thing we learned this week that our bikes break. But! More
importantly we learned that the Lords hand is in the details! Each time
our bikes broke, someone was led to us that we needed to talk to. The
first time this happened we came out of a house that we tracted into and
my tire was flat. As we were walking the mile or so back into town a
man drove by us. Then he turned around and came back and talked to us.
He was an inactive man who hasn't been to church since he moved to
Oregon which was 20-30 years ago. He gave us his information and invited
us over because he recognized us as missionaries. Then, the next day as
I was fixing my flat tire (yep, I fixed it! Thanks dad for teaching me
skills.) we were able to meet the son of a woman that we have been
teaching and he is now on a friendly basis with us whereas before he
wasn't so much. Then a day or so after that Sis. Aldous' chain came off.
We were on the side of the road when a man who was out jogging came by
and said we could come to his house and use his tools. Because he was
helping us we were able to have an amazing conversation with him that we
would not have had otherwise. His sister is a member and he had a few
concerns and misconceptions that we were able to talk over. It is crazy
to see how the Lord is so involved in every aspect of the work.
Another highlight and lesson was to not judge. A woman that I at
first labeled as uninterested and not all there has turned into one of
our most sincere investigators. She is truly amazing. I repented for
that one.
The church is true and the field is ready to harvest!
I love you all!
Sis. Adair
