Transfers were this past week and it turns out that I am staying in Ranchos with Elder Dickson! He is still the District Leader, and he has been out 11 months. The only bad thing about it is that our car is being taken away, and we are back on the bikes. :( It was really nice to have both the bike and car option. I only hope that it stops raining here. Here is a pic of us and the Granite Hills Elders.
We had a wonderful time at church this week. A. finally came again! She had her granddaughters with her and really wanted to take them to church so she asked for a ride. She had an awesome time there. She really felt like she connected with the speakers and enjoyed all of her classes. She felt the Spirit telling her that she was in the right place! She is so excited to hurry and fix her car so that she can attend church next week too. She is slowly gaining a testimony of pieces of the gospel! She said this past week that she knows that the Book of Mormon is true, and that Joseph Smith was called by God to restore the church. She is growing more and more as we help her to build her faith!
R. and his girlfriend T. also came to church! It was the first time in a while that T. came, and the second week in a row for R.! He said he's coming back next week as well! While at church we sang Joseph Smith's First Prayer. Afterword, T., who is not a member asked Elder Dickson who Joseph Smith was. Elder Dickson seeing the perfect opportunity said " He is one of our church's prophets. can we come by this week and teach you a little bit more about him?" Ha perfect! T. was excited for us to come over and teach her.
M. was supposed to come to church. We visited him on Saturday and he said that he would be there. When we showed up to remind him on Sunday morning he was sleeping. :P We are going to work on helping him see the importance of coming to church.

We climbed another mountain today. We were dying to finally feel some snow, and this mountain had snow on it! I finally got to walk in snow again.
Have a wonderful week!
