Moving to the Murris House

Dear Family,
This week, the Millwards time with the missionaries was up, and we moved out to the Murris house. It's kind of weird cause it's just a block away and it has the exact same floor plan. Yet it's entirely different, mainly because there aren't any animal heads on the walls. We're not sure yet if this is temporary. It took all day saturday to pack up and move our stuff and the furniture and dispose of all the junk on the shelves from missionaries in past generations. The murris may be temporary, so we're basically living out of our suitcases right now until we find out for sure where we're staying. Bro Murri is the first counselor in the bishopric and Sis Murri is the relief society president, so you can expect they're a really great couple, and there's a wonderful spirit in the home.

Transfers were today. Nobody in our district was transferred.

I'm glad you guys are working on clearing out the boxes from the garage. We've done a lot of moving people here, and I think people would be a lot better off and a lot happier if they were more organized and stored less junk.

Yesterday we helped move a guy named Shane Yates. It was long, but I'm glad we were able to help. While we were moving, we had an appointment with Mary that we completely forgot about. However, Sister Lake, one of the ward missionaries, knew we were having that appointment, and wasn't planning on going, but strangely felt inspired on attending the lesson with Mary. Well, we didn't show up, but Sister Lake was still able to read scriptures with Mary and teach a good lesson, so we see that even when we screw up sometimes, the Lord is still mindful of his children and his work will get done.

We had one investigator, Amanda, at the Mission President's fireside on Sunday and it went well. We had to give her and Britney over to the singles ward missionaries, though, and now we have zero progressing investigators. Patricia came to church, though. Sister Harris thought it was a really long shot, but that morning I felt like I needed to commit her to inviting Patricia to church, and so I called her up and did. Next thing I knew, I saw Patricia there at church. Interestingly enough, that week a missionary returned home who had just been serving in the area where she was from in Mexico, and he gave a phenomenal talk.

This week, one of the nights we had nothing to do. So we spent a long time street contacting, and talked to 35 people. Nobody was interested, but we kept going, and the very last person was named Grant, and he was super interested in going to church with us. He promised he'd come next week. We stopped by his house, just around the corner from us, and dropped him off a Book of Mormon and a Bible. However, we probably have to give him to the singles ward too.

And that's about all that's happened this week. We have a few more potential investigators, but nothing really groundbreaking. Have a wonderful week; I love you all.
Love,
Elder Myers
