Well, I wasn't able to write the huge long e-mail
yesterday and I have about 12 minutes to write one right now before I
have to go to District meeting...so it will be really fast!!
This week
was really good! We were able to get a lot accomplished! We met almost
all of our goals for the week, which was really good! The beginning of
the week was filled with lessons! Within two days, we had about 15
lessons which was crazy! We were packed with lessons, back-to-back, which
was really cool because I had never really seen that...Usually we have it
packed but a couple of them fall through. But the first couple of days,
all of our appointments actually went through. The third day was a
little rough, all of our appointments fell through (got cancelled). I knew it was going
to happen because, of course, there's opposition in the world. But I was
kinda bummed that not even one appointment went through, but it was
okay. We just rubbed it off and kept working.
The next day...k, I don't
know if it was the next day or not, but on Friday we went on our daily
run in the morning and when we were coming back we saw one of the less
active members in the ward.They were putting up signs for a yard sale so
we went over to help her out. They are moving and so they have to sell
EVERYTHING! We helped them move stuff out of their house and onto the
lawn. I learned while I was there that Sister McArthur and I are
absolutely horrible at putting prices to things. We don't know how much
anything is. Oh well, we'll learn...haha! But after being there for a
couple of hours, we went back to do our studies and then we got a phone
call that there was going to be a new family moving into the ward. They told us that they would arrive in about an hour and they asked us to go help
move them in! So, we got our work clothes back on and went to help the
family move in. After about an hour of that, we were on the way back
home and the family that was doing the yard sale started putting things
back into the house and they asked us to help again! So we stayed there
another about 2 hours and helped them with that! So ya, it was a lot of
service! But our lessons were also very good!
One of our investigators,
Kimberly has a date for her baptism! Her date is set for August 2nd!!
She's so excited and soo ready to get baptized! She was the one that had
a friend that would take her to church. The night that we asked her to
get baptized, she texted us and asked us if she could invite her friend,
what was the churches address, what time it would be at...and she just
started planning her whole baptism!! It was really cool to see how
excited and how set she is to get baptized! She is so ready! The only
thing that is holding her back is smoking, but she said that she could
give it up with no problem! Today we are going to go over to show her a
stop smoking program that would help her. So far, she has been doing
really good with not smoking, even without the program! She's golden!
I absolutely love being a missionary! Whenever we go to people's
houses, everyone just tells us EVERYTHING that is going on in their
lives! But I know it's because we are representatives of Jesus Christ,
and if Jesus Christ was there they know that he would help them. I have
really been able to internalize this week that we really are
representatives of Jesus Christ. We are here to represent him and that
everything we do, has his name on it! I love being a missionary and I
love being here!!
I love you all and thank you soo much for all the support!
I love you all and thank you soo much for all the support!
Oh my gosh and I get to go the temple on Thursday!!! I'm so excited!! The
whole week I was telling Sister McArthur how much I wanted to go temple
this week, and then on Saturday we received the call that we get to go on
Thursday!! I have never been so excited to go!! I miss the temple soo
much and I realize how much of a blessing it is to have several temples
within 15 minutes...Don't take it for granted!
