Ars longa, vita brevis

We're approaching transfers again! This transfer has gone by so fast. It's surprising. But also good. I am past my 6 month mark now and it still surprises me how fast that time went by. Before I know it, I will be home again. Yeah, I know, it's cliche, but it really has gone by quickly.

In another few weeks we will be having a visit from Elder Ballard of the Quorum of the Twelve and he will give a mission conference. Which means that the entire mission will be gathering to hear from an apostle. In just over a month. And some time after that, the first of three large transfer groups will arrive, all three necessitating hotel bookings. Those will definitely be some busy and exciting weeks, to say the least. 

We taught a really positive (as some might say, golden) couple from Colombia this week. Even though they were said they were Catholic, we had no problem teaching them about the great apostasy and restoration. They really were prepared to hear what we had to share.

There was also a dropped investigator that we picked up again this week, and showed a Mormon Message to. Both her and her son are really positive and will be in church on Sunday. Now we just need to get Jill to church and teach her again (since she was on vacation), and our progressing investigators will be back to normal.
