Hey Family and
Friends,
I'm glad to hear that
everyone is doing great! I love hearing from you all each week. I can’t believe
that we are already this far in December. Christmas time in Cali is weird. it
got down to a whopping 56 degrees last week and I thought i was going to
freeze! What has happened to me? I took it upon myself to deck the halls in our
apartment! I went all out... well we got transfer calls yesterday and we are
moving, we are still companions and in the same area but we are moving
apartments so I’m going to have to find time to re deck the halls =) However,
We were informed that our new apartment comes fully equipped with a wheel chair
and a ghetto table.=) I’m pretty stoked.
The work was slow
this week, ok really slow but there are just weeks that are like that. I know
that if we are persistent and obedient the lord will bless us because these are
his children and he wants them to return to him. I have had several special moments
this week where I know the savior was "carrying" me and he truly let
me know that he loved me. I have really been thinking a lot about true
conversion this week and what I promised to do when I was baptized. I found
myself reading Mosiah 18: 8-9 over and over and really thinking about it. ( you
should look it up and think about it a lot too) I am desirous to be called one
of Gods people and i had to ask myself if throughout my life if i truly have
been willing to mourn with those that mourn and help lift my my brothers and
sisters burdens. I have been praying for so much more compassion in my life.
The savior has so much compassion for all of us. i just want to be so much more
like him. I truly want to love like I have never loved before and to trust him
like I never have before. I find that so many times in my life I have been too
darn stubborn. I just wish I could express to all of you what he means to me.
He has allowed me to see things the past couple months of my life that have
forever changed me. He walks with me all day everyday showing me where to go
and what to say, even when I let fear overcome me he still guides me and always
offers me a second chance. He is always beckoning for me and everyone else to
come unto to him. We are en graven upon his hands and his feet. Is he engraven
upon our hearts? Please slow down for a minute and truly think about him and
allow him to show you where he needs you to be and who he needs you to become.
There are so many times while i am out here that I think of my future kids...
haha i know i know=) but really, I'm so thankful that I am here and that my
Father in Heaven is allowing me change to become the woman he wants me to be
for my children. I already love them so much and want to be the best i can for
them and I want them to be able to return to our father in heaven. That is what
our loving eternal Father wants for all of us. Thats why I am here, to help
bring his children home to him by inviting them. Thats our job! we have the
responsibility to invite, all of us. however it is their choice to come or not.
We cannot allow our agency to stand in the way of someone else s. We must
invite. well thats my spheeel for the week=)
People in Cali have
super sweet shoes! mostly the guys, but still they are all classy shoes and i
love them. i need nephew I can buy sweet shoes for.. hint hint =) Oh the post
office here is so great! it is a super old train station or something and I
love it because of the way everyone's shoes sound when they walk in there. I
have found someone with perfect hands! Her name is sister L_______ and i have
some serious hand envy. (kylee they are comparable to the girls in charly.)
Sister F_______=) words can not even describe how much I love this lady! She is
so funny, she is one of those members who tries and makes us break the rules
because she wants to have fun with us so we always have to tell her no but she
just loves us so much!! she has already delivered us each two Christmas
presents. The other night she opened up to us about her life. She lost both of
her parents unexpectedly within 3 months of each other when she was 19 and then
her sister a year later. She said she has been bitter and angry for a long
time. Then she told us how we have changed her life, she said she feels love
for us like she hasn’t felt in years. I feel like we haven't done anything for
her! It just shows me how the lord will always help those who need him and will
never give up on them. She also is making us a key to her beach house in
new port so when we get home from our missions we can go any time we
want. Sister F_______ is the best =)
I thought i found a
dead person this week.... i was so scared! It was pouring rain one day and we
were walking in this back ally to get to a house and then lying there in the
middle of the road was a man and he wasn't moving. he was soaking wet. We didn’t
know what to do so I started to yell at him from afar. He didn’t move... and he
didn’t look like he was breathing. I just kept yelling at him. I was about to
pick up a little pebble a throw it at his feet. Then we heard him start snoring.
i think he was a little bit wasted, but at least he wasn’t dead! Terry didn't
come to church this week. i was super sad but i will keep praying and I hope
she comes next week. Mom that sounds so funny about the tree!! you are right I
would have loved that!!! I would have been laughing way hard! I vote we make
that a tradish=) That is so crazy about the bed bugs! Tell Ben, Mckayla and bug
hi and that I glad they get to be back home! It is so weird to me that there is
snow there!
Well family and
friends. I just want you all to know that I love you and I love the lord! I
love this work! thanks for all your support!
