That moment when you totally forgot to put a title and can't think of anything clever

Hello and good day everyone! It's still a wonderful life here in Rock Hill!
We started off the week with transfer calls, and hooray! I'm staying in Rock Hill with Sister Laney. For those of you keeping track, this is the first time I've had a companion for two transfers since my trainer. So it was a little unexpected but good news! It was weird not going to the mission office on Thursday though. This also means I'm going to "kill" Sister Laney at the end of this transfer because she's going home! Hehehe. It will be fun! 
On Wednesday we didn't go to district meeting because of transfers, but we still had a good time doing missionary work. Thursday was pretty busy as well. We got to visit a few members, which is always a good time, especially when they give us snacks! We were able to meet some members we didn't know, too, so yay! New faces!
On Sunday we went to deliver a Bible to a Bible referral WAY out pretty much in the middle of nowhere. She came to the door and said she was too busy to meet with us right at that moment, but she was very enthusiastic about having us back, which surprised us. When we offered her the Book of Mormon, she said, "I LOVE this book!" which surprised us even more. Well, as it turns out, she was actually a member who hadn't come to church in years and who had moved, so we didn't know her address. Just goes to show that if you can't find them, they'll find you. While we were at her house a man walked up and said he wanted a book too and followed us to our car while we got one. Well, it didn't take too long to figure out he wasn't quite all there, but we had a nice conversation anyway. 
Also on Sunday we had a neat experience! It was fast and testimony meeting, so of course that was wonderful. Then for third hour we were invited to join the Young Women for their "musical testimony meeting." The girls had a chance to come up and share one of their favorite hymns and why it was meaningful to them and how it applied to ther testimony. Then we would all sing the song together. It was a wonderful experience! It was amazing to see how music can bring the Spirit in so quickly. The hymns are so amazing. They teach so simply and beautifully doctrines that we spend so much time struggling to learn and teach. I guess that's why Sister Alexander is always encouraging us to sing at lessons!
That wraps up the week. Next week is bound to be even better, if that's at all possible. Love y'all!
Love,
Sister Reay
