letter.sixty.five 06.23.14 where does the time go?!

I'm pretty sure this was the fastest week in the history of time. I honestly feel like it was yesterday I was writing you. It has been a really good week. It started off a bit slow because I was still really sick at the beginning of the week. But Heavenly Father really blessed me to get through the lessons and things that we needed to. I prayed very fervently that I would be healed and the next morning I felt soo much better. I feel so blessed.


must be pretty good chicken...

I think one of my favorite experiences this week was going on splits for rescue visits. This is the first time I have gone on splits on my mission. We've tried to organize it probably a million times, but this time it actually happened and it was soo good! I was with Sister S and it was beautiful. I love her so much. We get along like peas in a pod. There are some people that you meet in life that you have an instant connection with. She is one of those people for me. We had a great time together. We had some beautiful experiences in some of the less active young woman's homes. She also really helped me feel uplifted as well in our conversation. She is a returned missionary with a beautiful young family and she is just radiating with testimony and love. I love her so much.


treats they made and took to people.



We've also had amazing lessons with the girls who are getting baptized. Oh my goodness I love them so much. They really soak in all the things that we teach them. They're preparing for baptism this weekend and it's going to be so good. They are really changing their lives. They have come so far from where they were when we first met them. I can see their testimonies growing. They are like our little sisters we love them so much. 

One of the lessons a member from the young woman's presidency took us up there (cause it's far and uses up all our k's.) But it was so good to have her at the lesson. She bore a beautiful testimony and helped them feel of the love from the young woman's. It was awesome. I also loved the conversation we had on the way up and down. Man! I just can't get over how much I love the members here. I love chatting with them about their experiences in the gospel and the missionary work they are doing. A lot of the members who came with us this week haven't come to lessons ever before and it was so awesome to see them come and enjoy it. Missionary work is the best. 

There were some rough patches of this week as well. There were some times that Satan really tried to get us down, but we didn't let him. We pushed through and kept going. I had some powerful studies this week as well that helped me to be able to have more spiritual stamina to overcome those things. I am so thankful for the scriptures. They were my strength and comfort in the times when it was tough. It all turned out well in the end.

We also got a ride down with members to another remote part of our area to visit some less actives and it went so well. The girl is YSA and we were with YSA and they all were the perfect fellowship. It was amazing. 

Ah. I love this. I love being a missionary. I love sharing the gospel with others. I love the spirit that we get to feel so strongly as we teach, well really as the Spirit teaches. I'm in love with missionary work. I really felt that this week. I love it! I love it! I LOVE IT! 


I love you all. I hope you make it a great week!
