Hello everyone! Can you believe it's June already! Crazy!
Let's
see. This week we had a great district meeting. I really learn alot
from our district leader (even though he is 18 and 4 years younger than
me.. don't' want to talk about how old that makes me feel) he is
successful and good at motivating and training us on how to do better.
And we all went to Sams Club for district lunch after, yum :)
We had dinner with this lady in the ward who just
had a baby last week! She's so great and she's so giving and it was kind
of her to feed us even with her new baby. She served a mission so she
is always ready and willing to help us out and feed us. I think I said
this before but our ward has a lot of sisters who have served missions,
which is wonderful! And this member's neighbors came to church for the
baby blessing! Yay for member missionary work!
We helped our neighbor, Thelma this week with more
yard-work. She is a hilarious old lady. We talked about what happens at
her church, and what happens at ours. She's great.
Crissy is doing great! ( the one I talked about last week who moved here
from living with a member in Idaho). We had a lesson in a members house
with her about the plan of salvation and she loved it. She really just
soaks everything up, does her reading, and I love the opportunity to
teach her! She says everything in her life is starting to make more
sense now. She is still working towards her date on June 21!
Blechhhhhhhh for the past 3 days though I have been
in bed with the flu. Fever, sore throat, headache, stomach ache. The
works. I haven't even been sick my whole mission for more than a couple
hours until now! This flu was bad, but I'm feeling much better and
almost back to normal. I was well enough to go to church yesterday. I
love fast and testimony meeting, and some of the recent converts bore
their testimonies and they are so sweet and a lot of them are struggling
with a lot of issues but it's amazing how when they are planted in the
Gospel, they can get through it. We also had dinner with the Bishop and
his family, and talked about what we can do to work together. Also they
made us homemade ice cream, yum!!!!!
Fun fact. I accidentally stepped in an ant hill this week, and got bitten all over my foot. Yuck.
Well
I hope we can pick up the work now that I am feeling better! I want to
work hard with every day that I have left to find more people. I am
grateful for this time that I don't have a care in the world except
helping people accept the gospel! It's pretty amazing when you think
about it. I am not worrying about work, school, bills, dating, gas,
nothing. Just helping people receive the gospel! BUT soon.. I will have
to deal with those things, so I am going to enjoy it while I can.
As a mission we have all been asked to study the 12
week training again. It's been so good to get back to the basics, and to
practice things, even if I have practiced them a million times before,
you can never be perfect at it! I am really grateful for the Doctrine
of Christ and how we can change and get better every day! No matter what
mistakes we make, which we all do, we can always repent and try again! I
was grateful for the sacrament this week, almost not feeling well
enough to go made me appreciate it that much more.
This Saturday
will be transfer calls! President likes to move people for their last
transfer, so we'll see! I will let you know next week. And we are going
on exchanges tomorrow with the STL's! That will be fun. And Zone Meeting
this Friday. Good week. :)
