Week 17 Transfers

Hi Everyone!

We had transfers and so now I have this new companion, who is sooooo amazing!! Oh, I love her! She's from Sweden. Her name is Sister Jansson. And she is so funny! We get along soooo well!! We have been working a lot this week! It was actually kinda funny...as soon as we went out to go meet with people would ask us if we were both from sweden or germany...(they said our eyes and hair color gave it away.) Haha. Well, people generally get pretty close...its not germany, but Switzerland:) 

So, this week we met up with Milena and Lois. They were so happy to see Sister Jansson. The lessons were so good! I love these people:)
 We just got a new Investigator. Her name is Maybelle. She just had a baby. She's from Nigeria. And she's so awesome! We had a lesson about families and how the gospel can bless her new family. And she loved that! She loves what we teach her and wants us to come more often.
This week we also had service and white boarding! That was so good! We were able to talk to a lot of people!

This week we had a miracle!! We had 3 ladies with 3 different situations come up to us while we were on our way to lessons we had. The first lady was Sofia. Ohhh She's sooo sweet! She was walking her new puppy. And we stopped to tell her that we thought her puppy was so cute. And as she stopped to talk to us she broke down and started crying about how her husband just died three months ago and that she wasn't going to see him again. We were so glad that we were in the right place at the right time! I bore testimony that I know God has a plan for us and that she will see her husband again. She was sooo happy and relieved to hear what we had to say and gave us her number to talk more. She told us how much she hoped what we were telling her the truth! And we told her we were. And we plan to meet up with her again!:) Oh, how I love this gospel! It is such a blessing! 
The next lady was Roula. We met her while we were white boarding. She has 3 kids. And they were all there:) We asked them the question.."what does Christ mean to you?" And the little kids said he's our savior, and the other kid said, he loves us. We were both smiling and nodding our heads...Yes! He is. And the mom, Roula was really interested in what we were saying about Christ and how our message is central to Him. We will meet this family this week to have a lesson:)
And the last lady is ειρηνη. Her name actually means Peace. We met her on our way to Elsa and Bernada's apartment building.She was one of the people that actually came up to us asking if we were both swedish...hahaha;)
Anyway, she liked our message and a few days ago when we called her. She asked if we were Orthodox Sisters....and we told her no...We are Mormon and she laughed and said ohhh well, Im orthodox and not interested. It was kinda a funny expereince!
We also met with Elsa and Bernada. They are soo sweet! Elsa is from Bulgaria and Bernada is from Albania. But they both love having us over and having our lessons. 

This week has been busy, but we love it!! We love the work!!:) 
I hope you are all well! Remember to smile and be happy! We've got the best gift ever....the Gospel:) Im so grateful for this opportunity! Im learning so much! And my new trainer is the best! She really is a huge example to me in every way! 
Let me know if there is something I can do!
THank you:)

Love ya,
Sister Ramsay
PS.Sister Jansson and I had some very funny moments!
We found a huge spider up on the wall...so she jumped on my bed and sprayed it with bug spray. 
We also found a fat worm in her bag..
And we also went through a dark alley. 
The adventures we go through;)
