This week was pretty good! Only big thing that happened was I found out I am getting transferred! I do not know to where yet but I am excited for the new challenge! I was nervous because my trainer is going home so I thought I was going to be taking the Sumter area but instead I am being transferred.
At first I was pretty disappointed and I am sad to leave all these awesome people I met! But I know that if the Lord needs me to go somewhere else to learn and meet people then it will be the for the best. I have heard prophesy that I will be down in Charleston but I won't know for sure until tomorrow. As a result of that and my trainer going home we have been going and saying goodbye to everyone we taught and worked with. Which was fun but kind of sad that I may not see them again.
We did burn a suit for my trainer! We were saying bye to a less active and he asked if Elder Jackson was going to burn a suit before he left. So we got a suit and dressed it up with a shirt, tie, shoes and everything and put it on a big tree branch. Then we lit up a bonfire and threw it on! It was pretty weird but pretty fun!
All the other goodbyes were pretty routine. We have been working with an investigator that has been going really well! He is engaged and has 2 kids and lives with his fiance who is not particularly interested in meeting with us. But we had a way cool lesson! He was outside watching the kids and we went outside with him and he has some member friends but he said he didn't want to offend them with his questions so he would just ask us haha. He some questions mostly about what we do and some basic stuff. And we answered them and understood really well so left him a Book of Mormon and he is really excited to read it! He said he didn't grow up religious and just wants to know what is true. So it is a good thing he met us! haha. I love everyone and miss you all so much!
Love Elder Dowell (2)
