The Start of a New Transfer

Wow this week has been crazy! We did an exchange this past week and guess who got to stay in (her area) all by herself! Yup that's right me! Well, not all by myself Sister W came down from Syracuse but both my companions left and went to Syracuse with Sister Livermore. So it was all me, Sister Woodmansee had never been to my area and she has only been out in the field for 6 weeks. It was hard and was possibly the slowest day of my mission so far. No seriously the work was slow! We normally have weekly planning for 3 hours on Thursdays but since it was the exchange we moved planing to Friday. Which means a wide open day we only had one set appointment for the whole day. I tried to get good back ups but as we went to back up after back up no one was home. The day was so long we talked to people most of the day. By the end of the day we ended up getting in 4 lessons which isn't that bad. so over all the exchange was good and we only got lost a few times! This week has also been transfer week so we got the call on Saturday to tell us if we are staying or going. The sad part is that the 3-some is now going to go back down to 2 but the good part is that I am going to stay here! My trainer is going to be going up north, way up north, almost to Canada! Its sad that she is leaving, she has been here since she first got to the mission field 9 months ago. The good thing that happened yesterday is that we finally got in contact with one of our investigators who disappeared for like a week and a half. Susan is our investigator that has a baptism date and she just all of a sudden went MIA! but yesterday we a found out that she had a death in the family and had to go to North Carolina and that though all her trials she is still going strong with the word of wisdom! She is amazing and I cant wait till she can be baptized! We have a few other investigators that we are hoping that can be baptized this transfer but we will see how it goes. overall things are going well here and I cant wait to see what this next transfer will bring! Thanks everyone for all your support and love! Love Sister Cox
