WEEK 20 3 transfers down and 10 to go!

 This week was a really good one! We had a couple of really great lessons with our investigators. One of them Rachael is one of our members girlfriends. She is in her 30's and has totally been guided to the church. The stories she tells us are crazy. Right now she is fostering her 2 nephews and 1 niece ages 7, 2, and 5 months. She told us that she and her sister's family were living with her in Three Rivers. They had been living together for a while and she just felt she needed to leave. Her Sister and her sisters husband have all of these mental problems and it was just draining on her. So she followed the prompting she had and found an apartment with a 3 month lease. And moved into it. 6 weeks later the kids were pulled by CPS from the parents. And if she would have been living with them still she wouldn't have been able to take the kids. And they would have gone into the system. Her taking the kids also led her to moving up to Portage which led her to be able to come to church with her boyfriend which led her to taking the missionary discussions. We met with her on Wednesday and she had come to church the week before and then had to teach a class in her church so she went to her church and she told us that after coming to our church her church didn't feel right anymore. She felt at home at our church. It was so awesome though, we are so excited for her. We met with her again yesterday after church and she told us she was bawling all through fast and testimony meeting. She also told us she knows the church is true she is just having a hard time letting go of the kids at her old church. She taught the Kindergarten aged kids and really misses them. So we are going to fast for her on Thursday and hopefully will be able to help her. We also got Abigale and her kids to church yesterday which was the first time in a couple weeks just cause they have been so busy moving and living in the shelter. So that was really good they still want to be Baptized we are just waiting for them to move into their house. Anyways I am doing pretty good. And am loving being a missionary. :) Love and miss you all! 

Love, Sister Gittins
