In Ranchero Ward!

So last week was transfers so I didn't write. I made it about 5 miles down main street to my new ward... we still meet in the same building and i still see alot of the members from my old ward. My new ward is amazing!! I really like it here it should be good! We have a few investigators, 1 family of 6 with 5 eligible for baptism and then a couple of other older people who we have met through ward members or street contacting. The Family is a very interesting family hahah the 3 boys are all with in 4 years of each other... and treat each other like all 9-12 year old's do. They have some interest in church but really they need their parents backing. The parents have some W.o.W. issues and if they were to give them up that would help their family alot! 

So weird/ spiritual story:

    "How do you play chess well? When you lose, you move the pieces back in the same order as forward and see where you made your mistakes.

    "God plays chess very well!

    "When a spiritual experience happens to you or you participate in a spiritual experience, look back and see all the pieces that had to be moved for it to happen. Then thank God that He has the foresight necessary to make things like that happen!

    "This week we had one of those experiences happen.

    "We have been on foot for a couple days while another missionary with a larger area borrowed my bike...we see these missionaries and find out they haven't even been using it... kinda frustrating... but we are still on foot. we go to see some people that are usually out at night and everything falls through... people that we talk to that are always out in their garage are out of town, less active that are pretty reliable visits and give us a ride home....they are not home... so we are left to walk home on foot. As we do, we pass the house of our investigator family and find out that had we not been there at that specific time we would not have been able to see them or help them! All in Gods time!"


In other completely random but exciting news a member of my new ward actually knows where Taber is! And it turns out he roomed with Landon Garner and Brandon Tanner for a while hahah  small world!
