Transfer time and speaking assignments

Hello!
What a week it has been!!! First off we got our transfer call Saturday and we are both staying together here in the same area! It's way exciting and we are so thankful we get to stay together we have so much fun, but get a lot done of course. Oh and our area got split in half so we have a smaller portion to work with and we lost some investigators to the elders that are coming in, but we just will have more time to find more investigators so its way exciting and time to get moving! I can just feel something is around the corner!
 
We had zone conference this week and it was so good! President Woodbury is such an inspired man and knows what he needs to teach us so we can be better missionaries. We all had to prepare a talk on a conference talk from October 2013 conference and then the zone leaders said that two of us would be getting called on to give it... well they said they prayed about it and one of the choices was me:) haha oh goodness, first off why is speaking in public so nerve racking I feel like I am gonna shake on to the ground when ever I get in front of someone, but I love it. So that went good! Always thankful for an opportunity to bear my testimony, because it only strengthens it!
 
So we went to this sweet old man in our ward who lives in a nursing home. Oh my I forgot how it was to be a CNA but going back there I was filled with great emotions remembering the ones I used to work with and the love I had for them. but we came to this mans room and I just can't tell you how much love I had for him! Why do I love old people, I always have and I always will there is just a soft spot in my heart for them. Anyways! We were talking to him and then he asked us to give him a blessing, well we couldn't so he said okay then I will just bless you. haha he was saying a prayer before we could leave and I will tell you, the words that came out of his mouth went straight to my heart and were from a higher divinity of what I needed to hear at that time. The Lord speaks through the humble hearted. It reminded me that as servants of God we all do His work. We all have the power to lift one another, our job is to serve one another and remind them that there is a loving God that watches over us. Don't underestimate the power you have to make someones day. If you are given a thought to do good, do not question it. Every good thing comes from God!
 
Oh and then I was called to give another talk on Sunday so I gave two talks this week :) And I think it's getting better, my body doesn't shake as much... haha but who knows maybe I just got lucky that time. We had our whole ward mission group give talks on Sunday and it was really cool! This ward is so amazing I am so blessed to be in this area at this time. I can't believe how much I have learned and changed in this short time. But I can tell you this is full surety. That this is God's church, The Gospel of Jesus Christ has been Restored and we have evidence of this by the Book of Mormon. If you have questions I would invite you to pray and read this book to have the truth shown to you has you ponder what you come across.
I love you! I miss you! And I hope you have a wonderful week!
