Well
this week has been another good one! If feels like it should be officially
summer with the way the weather is but apparently I ain't seen nothin' yet...
oh baby. This is gonna be fun… It's already so hot I cannot even imagine, but
I'm excited. It will be a fun challenge and hey I've always loved sweating ;)
ha I am already getting brown. I'm
gunna be soo dark by the end of summer. And no Michelle, I haven't worn
sunscreen yet... I just couldn't be bothered. I'll try to though.
My
last few days with Sister L were wonderful. We had some truly incredible
lessons and some sweet moments together. We cried a lot but we both knew that
this is the right thing. She told me I'll always be her favourite soa :) She is
such a beautiful person. She changed me so much. I miss her like crazy, but I
LOVE my new companion too!
Her
name is Sister T. She's adorable. I love everything about her. She's from NZ
and she's 20 years old. She is hilarious, beautiful, but most importantly she's
an incredible missionary already. She is so gun! She's keen to work hard and to
be obedient! Boom baby. This is going to be a great transfer! She already
teaches and talks with people so naturally. I feel so blessed to have such a
wonderful companion. I know I'm going to learn a lot from her. We had a great
few days together. We've taught a few lessons and we were able to find a new
investigator! It was great.
Church
was madness this week... we had three investigators there! :) That's huge for
us. One of them was the one who became our new investigator! He is the father
of a family that was just baptized and he has never come to church until now
and HE LOVED IT! Yeeesssss! And let me tell you that is honestly a miracle ...
one of those where I was just praying they'd feel the Spirit. We are thrilled
that Brother G is now coming to church though! It's taken us quite some time to
get to his heart, but I think we've finally done it! He said he'll come next
week too! Boo yah!
Another
investigator we had there loved it as well! I was so pleased. We're trying
really hard to find good fellowship but there are no YSA in the ward. Like
literally. Well there are two but they don't go to this ward since there's no
YSA. Bum deal. But she loves us. She sticks by our side and loves everything we
say, so that's good, but we have got to get fellowship or the hand off will be
real bad after she gets baptized. We're praying to know which of the older
ladies we should have "adopt" her because I think that's when she'll
really start to fit in. She's amazing though.
Notice
that I said three came, but I've only mentioned two... well the other one
didn't really like it... like at all. So we don't focus on her. But she is
still wonderful and hopefully someday she'll be ready to accept the gospel.
(she dropped us this morning.)
Last
night we were able to go up to a “cottage evening” at the Lindsay's for many
people who have been joining the church in WA. Not many missionaries got to go
because of limited space, but they asked me to sing so we were able to go. I
was so glad. The singing went really well. I was very blessed, but what I
really loved is the talk that they showed. It was one given by Pres. Uchtdorf
where he talks about the hands of the statue of Christ missing, but mostly he
talks about love and how love is the ultimate motive. He talked about how it
was only love that could have motivated the Atonement. It was just what I
needed to hear. Sometimes I still wonder about if I have made the right
conclusions about love being THE most important thing. Love is what should
be motivating everything that I do. I have really been striving for that on my
mission and I fall short a lot, but it was good to be reminded that this is
what I should be focusing on. I am so thankful for the Savior's infinite love
so that we all can live with God again. I am thankful for the opportunity to
have a beautiful new missionary and to be part of this great work. I love you
all!
