This week started off well. I made a Scripture reference paper/note cards, so that I can remember references to scriptures that are important! I am using the Doctrinal Mastery from Seminary... Should've paid more attention there, that's for sure!! We had our last District Council before the end of the Transfer and took that picture, basically the same people for last transfer haha, and it is going to be pretty similar for this next on too! What a great group of people! we talked a lot about humility, and I was sitting there thinking how humble these Missionaries are! This time is probably the only time in my life where I will be around so many dedicated people that are so humble, talking about humility and trying to continue to be more humble! (well unless I am with more missionaries or apostles or something in the future, which would be cool!)
There is a Part-Member family that people in the past have been much aware of with needs etc. but sister Minaker and I have been able to give her service, have some really nice discussions with her, and she makes us food, even though she barely has time to eat herself! she is the sweetest woman ever!! Sister Markanich gives so much love and service towards others, but she needs some more of it for herself! <3
We contacted a few people who have requested no contact from the church and they were so sweet! I learned a lot more about the Jehovah's Witnesses from 2 different scenario's! That was cool!!
We had an awesome lesson with Farshid about following the Prophet, the Book of Mormon and Prayer! He is changing so much! Praying things would just happen sooner that July 6th!!
There is the sweet family where the Mom, Sister Alessi, has 3 children that have some disabilities! She has such a huge Heart. I just remember walking out of there feeling SO, I don't know how to explain it... The spirit was so strong and sweet. I admire her so much and all she does! It can be so hard having that all! I will never forget her and her family! We are going back tomorrow and meeting with her again!!

Yesterday, Sunday, there was this Devotional that is mission wide where missionaries bring some of the people they are teaching are the ones able to come! sister Minaker has 2 friends that she met forever ago in a whole different area that were baptized and spoke at this devotional!! how crazy it was to be there and see God's divine hand in all things!! I was able to see sister Harley, and I new I was going to see someone I knew before, sister Harley is basically my mom! and I love her soo very much! She is my friend that was baptized for Iran! <3 What a true blessing this hour was! I love this gospel! I love the people here, there is nothing else better that in the service of the Lord!
Continue to love, be patient, and be an example of good. You never know the things that will Come of it! <3
Always love,
Sister Chaffin
