Hello!!

First off: HAPPY BRITHDAY TO MY CAILEY!! :) Now, Hey everyone! So excited for the big news? transfers this week, I'm packing up my bags today and heading up to Colorado Springs! I'm in a group of 3 and working with Sister Gilson (who I came in with) and Sister Jones, who I tracted with my first day, and is the sweetest person in the world! I'm really excited, we'll be in the Cheyenne Mountain Ward which is a singles ward up there. Sister Hilbert says its an awesome ward and the best news is, I'm close enough to Pueblo that I get to come down to Bekah's Baptism this Sunday! Which was something I was worried about, considering I've been with her throught the whole process towards baptism. I'm going to miss the people I met here, and my Zone Leaders and other missionaries and especially Sister hilbert, BUT The Lord is teaching me a lesson: to love change. So I may as well learn that lesson now BEFORE I get thrown into a foregin country and my life really gets turned upside-down. This week was pretty awesome, we continue to teach Bekah AND she came to church, and loved it. It was amazing! ANd the elders are teaching a 17 year-old boy who is totally solid, he called them Sunday night and told them he finished reading 3 Nephi, what else should he read? They've taught him twice. There are miracles happening all over the place here! On Friday night, I was feeling a little stressed about the changes that were coming up, So Sister Hilbert decided to make me senior companion on Saturday and I would be driving, deciding where to go, who to teach, and would be leading all the lessons. Turns out, I know this area better than i thought, and I can have confidence that the spirit will always lead and guide. It was a littler nerve-wracking but I learned a lot from it. In other news, frank was confirmed, and he is so awesome. He came in a 3 piece suit, and a white shirt, and he is asking all sorts of questions about the Temple and how he wants to be worthy to go when he hits his year mark. It has been so amazing to see this man go from a depressed drunk to reading the Book of Mormon everyday and quickly recognizing the truthfulness of the gospel. Its absolutely amazing! And we were excited because Adam has been reading the Book of Mormon, and says its going well, and he is reading it with an open mind, and the possiblity that it is true. Although, he still hasn't come to church. But we're working on it, and trusting that it is in the Lord's hands. Yesterday was a little rough, since Sister Hilbert knew she was training and staying in Mesa next transfer, which meant I was leaving, but didn't know where. I was sad to leave my comfort zone I've created here, but this morning I woke up, ready for the changes, feeling the peace that I will go to where and with the people I need to be with, and it will be amazing. I love you all! And miss you tons! Have a great week, and don't forget to write me :)
Love always
Sister Pratt
