🎆 Happy Pioneer Day to
one and All!
I
hope that you all do something crazy and fun today. At least like a fire
work or something.
This
week has been a pretty good week!
We
had a couple lessons with Carole, we invited her to be baptized and she has
accepted. We put her on date for September 16th. She came to church yesterday
and absolutely loved it! She loves the feelings that she gets there. She is
painting her Trailer home and asked if we can come and help her this week. So I
guess I am going to be painting a mural haha we will see how it turns out!
Maybe that will scare her away or something.
I
actually spoke yesterday for the first time on my mission. I think it went
pretty well. I was asked to speak on How my knowledge of the scriptures helps
me teach the gospel to others. President Boyd K. Packer said, "In a world
ever more dangerous the Book of Mormon, Another testament of Jesus Christ has
the nourishing power to heal starving spirits of the world." I also shared
a couple of my favorite scriptures the first one was 1 Nephi 19:23 on how we
need to liken the scriptures to ourselves and how we do that is 1. Diligently
search them, 2. Fast and Pray 3. Testify to others (Alma 17:2-3). I talked
about how it is our obligation to share the gospel with other as the Lord has
entrusted us this duty (Alma 37:14).
We
also had interviews with President Brennan this week. I really like him. He is
so enthusiastic about being out here. I have gotten to know him a little bit
better each week. He absolutely loves being out here and knows that there is a
lot to accomplish. They are from Southern California and are up to their necks
with work to do. They have a daughter right now who is serving her mission in
Kentucky. After interviews he took us all (17 missionaries) out to lunch and we
sat and visited there. It was a great day!
There
is this lady named Gail Nelson who is a less active whom we have been working
with. She is always so sad and depressed. My goal this past week was to make
her smile. I accomplished that goal and even made her laugh. I am going to make
her a cake for her birthday on the 27th this week! It will be a great day :)
The
Elders from Manistee had a baptism on Saturday at our building which we helped
set up so we were there most of the day... oh the worst story. So Friday the
Elders had us make the programs so that we could copy them at the church for
them. So after our dinner appointment I went to get my flash drive out of my
purse to play a song and it was gone! I was dying, it was gone! I knew that I
had left it at the library, in the computer after I made the programs. This
flash drive is very important as it has all the pictures from my mission. So
Saturday we ran over to the library really quick and God is good because it was
turned into the front! What a blessing that was!!
I
love you all I hope that you have a wonderful week and enjoy this beautiful
summer!
Oh
Transfers are this week so I will be emailing on Saturday :)
Party
Hard :)
