3rd area, 3rd companion - January 15, 2018

Guess what everyone. BIG NEWS! I'm getting transferred! To OGDEN! pretty CRAZY! I'm gonna miss Ellison Park :( but I'm excited! I'm going to a walking area without a car. And crazy news - I'm going ZEBRA. this means were gonna be covering English AND Spanish. So we get to baptize EVERYONE!!! Hahaha. We're going to be covering one Spanish ward and one English ward. They both cover the same area, so we just get to talk to everyone and teach everyone. And even crazier news. Guess who my new companion is. GUESS. HERMANA FAWCETT!!! lemme tell ya. I think God really wants us to be friends or something. Because we were in the same WARD at BUT, the same MISSION, the same REASSIGNED mission, and now we're companions!! LIFE'S CRAZY. I'm super excited though. Everyone who serves in Ogden (especially spanish) LOVES it. And they just split 2 Spanish wards in Ogden into 5 on the 1st of January, so this is a brand new ward. It's gonna be AWESOME!

Hermana Bliss is gonna hold down the fort here in Layton. We are having Jazmine's baptism on Saturday, and I'll get to come back to Layton for it! So excited. It's pretty crazy. Hermana bliss and I are going to have FIVE baptisms together of people that JUST WE taught. None of the people we have baptized have been taught by other missionaries. God works in mysterious ways! We were here together at the right time! 

This week, some of the English elders called us and asked if we could come with them to a lesson with a family from Puerto Rico. It was SWEET! they were sooooooo nice. Yolanda and omar. They just moved here about two months ago because of all the aftermath of the hurricanes. And they LOVED ME. hahaha. The BEST GENTE IN THE WORLD.

This week we put one of our investigators, arely, on Date! She's 15 and took the lessons a couple years back when she lived in Ogden. She doesn't remember everything but once we teach it she is like OOHHH YEAHH and then she explains everything perfectly. She's SO AWESOME. She wants to get baptized but not without her family. But we've been working on that. 

I'm ending my time here GREAT! We have been working HARD this whole time we've been here and we've seen good results. I'm so grateful for the time I've had here in Layton! And I'm excited to go to my new area in Ogden! I never thought I'd say this, but I'm gonna miss hermana bliss. HAHAHAHAH. just kidding she's awesome. I've given her the best 4 months of her life.

Love

Hermana murphy

2. Jazmine drew someone who DOESN'T keep the word of wisdom vs someone who DOES. We're not sure which one is which but it's ok.

3. So we were knocking one day at this apartment complex and this little girl, payton, starts following us around on her scooter. She was soooo funny. She led us to some Hispanic apartments and just followed us around for like an hour and a half. HAHAHAHAH. 

4. The Puerto Rican family! They are sooooo awesome. 

5. Our district got to do an ESCAPE ROOM today. It was SICK. and it was FREE!!! We had to find all these clues to find out how to communicate with the deax Harry Houdini (with the help of his wife)
