Well, this week was good. Monday night we got an investigator!!! We were tracking an area and we felt good about this area. We talked to a guy named Jesse and he was super nice. He wanted to learn more but did not give us a certain time to come back so he is not a 'gator yet. Then that same street Melanee answered the door. She invited us to come back on friday so she was an investigator. The only bad thing is, is she did not show up for her appointment. :( That was pretty sad. But a miracle happened on tuesday! A couple months ago we knocked on a lady's door named Amy. She was somewhat interested and we told her we would come by another time soon since she was really busy at that time. Amy works as a home care assistants person. Well, on tuesday we felt really good about 23rd street. We start to tract it and guess what? We knocked on the very house Amy works at! This is not coincidence. We talked for about 40 min. We talked a little about young womans and how it helps build the values in the young women. She has a fifteen year old daughter. She started crying. She felt the spirit so strong and we are excited to start teaching her some more. She is going to love it. Then on saturday, we were going out and we were knocking on doors of the former investigators. We knocked on one and the person didn't live there anymore. But we did meet Jeff, the now owner of the house. He was really nice. He wanted to learn more right then but we were not allowed to go into his house. So we set up a time for the next day. We were so excited. ANOTHER INVESTIGATOR...almost. unfortunately, he did not show up to his appointment either. Bummer. Oh well, we still have high hopes. Saturday night we got transfer news. it turns out, I am leaving Tell City and entering a new world on tuesday. I have no idea where I am going but I will send word soon. I am excited for a new area but not at the same time. I love Tell City and love everyone here. I love my companion and don't want to leave but it will be what God wants. I think one of the worst part is that i am leaving two weeks before christmas. Oh well. I am exctied to be with new people. Mom, Sister Jewell told me to tell you that I am a good daughter and that I work hard. I think Sister Jewell and her family is who I am going to miss the most. It will be hard but worth it. :) I am going to be sending another box home but this time is just full of random things that I didn't really need to carry around with me.
On sunday something of a miracle happened. We were getting ready for the Christmas Broadcast. We were giong to try to get the TV up on the stage area. The TV was on one of those stands and we were going to be buff enough to lift all of that metal up 6 inches onto the stage. Well, it did not work as well as we thought it would go. We lift up the stand, and we can't lift it up all the way, we were just to short. all of a sudden the stand tv is tilting and was going to fall all the way to the ground! Something happened where the TV went back to the starting position. But then it started to tilt forward again as we try to get the TV on the stage. While all this was happening I was just thinking about "oh no. The broadcast won't be able to be shown if the TV fall to the ground. What are we going to do if it falls? Oh no, maybe I should grab on to the TV. Hey, that would be a smart idea!" So I let go of the stand and grab the top of the tv to keep it from falling. Quickly sister Moyes goes in front of the tv to keep it from falling and we get the TV on the stage. Phew. That was a very funny, very great miracle. I can't believe the TV didn't fall. I can't believe that the DVD player stayed on the stand. My goodness. Afterwards, my thumb and finger was killing me. I was laughing so hard of the experience and crying because of the pain. I didn't know what to do. My thumb got squished by the TV and I thought it might have been broken. Luckily it was not. It is fine now. I learned my lesson. Do it with three people and taller people next time. :)
I have to get going. Very very busy packing, visiting people day to day. I love you all. Have fun this week. :) Jaden, What going on in your life? I want to know. :) You are all the best! Sister Amanda Ralph
