Hey guys!
How is everyone? So Im not getting transfered!=) and Sister
McConkie get to stay companinons. =) We are both pretty stoked about it
because Presidnet Miskin ( he is in the mission presidency and is in our
ward) made it sound like that wasnt really going to happen. So We are
pretty pumped.Weav you are totally right I am fulling the true purpose
of my mission now haha.
this week was great=) Our lesson with C___the guy in his 90's was
great as usual and we always just wanna laugh. Then on tuesday We helped
some less actives move and I loved it!! haha It was so nice to wear
pants again. Oh how i missed them. I went on two exchanges this week. It
was fun. ONe of the excahnges I went on was to banning. The whole time I
was there I felt like I was in Idaho. It was so weird . ha i wasnt too
sure how I felt about it. While I was there it was awesom though. I
absolutly love the the Hispanic communities!! The peopel are so nice and
so friendly and they talk to you so much. I have also never had so many
cat calls in my life I loved that exchange. It has been so hot here
this week and we have super bad farmers tans. haha However , like 4
people have told me this with I could pass as a Latin person. Ill take
it.
We got another investigator C____ this week. She is amazing!!! and
she loves the Book of mormon. The only problem is her family is super
against it. However, B__, C___, and Dillon all went to church this
week! It was amazing . I loved it! One cool thing happened while I was
on exchanges. We were walking and we started talking to M____. Well we
told her about the restoration in about 5 min and she just started to
cry. and she jsut couldnt stop. She said she knew we were gods
messengers the minute she saw us! and that she knew there was a prophet.
It was great. They are going back to teach her again=)
Family, I feel myself getting weirder and weirder. It's a problem. I
am jsut akward now. haha the other day we had to go to a young single
adult thing and I almost died. haha oh well =)
I was blessed this week. A person we met on exchanges was really
positive we are going to hell. I feel comforted knowing that I am now
saved.=)
We also met a man who told us all about the alien life here =) It
was probably one of most factual contacts I have had .. not =) He also
told us the long story about how he bought a couple of wives from the
phillipines. I now know where to find the best husband when I get home=)
I do have to say I have never been called sweetheart is such demeaning
ways as I have this week. I hate the word sweet heart=) So I stuck my
foot in my mouth this week. While I was on exchanges with a sister we
were walking past this house and all these little chewawas (or howver
the heak you spell it) were barking at us.( For some reason every person
in cali has like 3 chewawas) Well on my mission I have come to
absolutly hate those little dogs.So while they were barking at us I told
this sister my true feelings about them. It turns out she has a ton at
home.....oops.=)
Mom that makes me so happy about your missionary work!! That is what it is all about =)
It is Easter week....I think I am more excited for this than for
christmas. He LIVES!! How greatful I am for the savior and all that he
does for me personaly. He died and was ressurected. I know that. We went
below any pain I have ever felt so he could lift me up. When I allow
him to he carries me. I really felt that this week. he just keeps my
feet moving a little longer, he helps to talk to just one more stranger,
her filly my mouth with what to say, he helps me try just one more time
when everything in me is so ready to be done. He helps me push pass all
my limits just becasue he loves me and sees who I really can become!!!
Please celebrate his life this week The amaizng palmers invited us
to study about the passoever and easter last night I loved it and their
adorable kids are so cute and love the savior !! KYlee and Colton I am
so proud of you for both choosing not to go to those dances before you
were 16. Thank you so much!!!! that made me one happy big sister.
One thing I have really learned on my mission is how important
humor and laughter are. Especailly when I go on exchanges. There are so
many sisters who hare having such a hard time and they just need to
laugh:) It helps so much. missionary work is hard. life is hard. but if
you can laugh you can find hope and joy in the little thingns.
be greatful=)
I love you all !!!
