This week has been cruhazzy! the work is for sure Hastening here!
Monday
night I had the opportunity to go to a family home eveing with a bunch
of really old people in a rest home, and yes they were really old. It
was so great and im not going to lie super funny =) it was one loud
yelling fest because no one could hear anything. At one point I asked
the question " How have you seen Christ change your life?" They all
thought I was talking about a movie and they were all " No I don't think
we have seen that movie," I then asked, " How have you come to know
your Savior?" to try and clear up the confusion to which they responded,
" NO, i dont think we have seen that one either." it was great =) Oh
and me and one of the older men were wearing matching cardigans...=)
needles today i unsuccessfully tried to hide my laughter. It was so
great but i learned so much from them and the stories of their faithful
lives I truly hope to become like them in this life.
We helped T___clean the room of her son who died
last week. not going to lie it was an awkward feeling. However, we were
able to teach her so much about the plan of salvation. I just wish there
was more we could do for her. I cant even comprehend how it must feel
to be her. We did a lot of less active work this week. we are seeing so
much success in less active work. 3 went to church and 1 said she is
coming and wants to take the missionary lessons. I love them all so
much! Wow I have been so blessed to know all these people. We planned
E_______ baptism this week=) it is so amazing to see the difference in
her! She went form being a girl with blue hair and gages to getting
baptized! We were so busy this week ! it seemed like we were running
from appointment to appointment. I have prayed so much this week! and we
picked up two new investigators! We had Stake conference and it was
all about Hastening the work. Family please go online and look up the
Hastening the work link! We were able to hear from President Iring. I
love that man. One thing is said really stood out to me. There are many
people who are searching for the gospel who wont raise their hands and
ask for help because their hands are too tiered. We really need to be a light to people so that they can have hope. I have been working on
building my faith so much this week Elder Holland has the best faith
formula! " The formula of faith is to hold on, work on, see it through,
and let distress of earlier hours-real or imagined- fall away in the
abundance of the final reward."
So I am getting transferred to..... Yucippa at least
that is how I think you spell it. I will be there on Wednesday. I have
to say when i firs came on my mission trasferrs didnt seem like that
big of a deal. However, they are different than i thought. I had no idea
that i was going to love these people and this area so much! I truly
have met so many wonderful people who I will always love! Redlands
really has become "Holy Ground" to me. I am also so afraid to leave
Sister Straatman. I love her!! however we will be life long friends! I
am stoked to see what the lord has in store for me in Yucippa. i really
dont know how to explain it. President talked to me about my new area
and he is expecting a lot out of me the next several months there. He
said a lot of success or faliure of this area in the next little while is
on my shoulders so please please pray for me! I was told there is a lot
of rednecks out there =) Just my kind of people =) I am excited to see!
So I watched an old man fall down some stairs this
week. It was the saddest/funniest thing I have ever seen. I can say that
now because he is ok. However, I have nver heard so many swear words
come out of an old High Priests mouth before! Well Fam Thanks for all
the support! I really love you! I next time i write you I will be in
Yucippa or however you spell it!
love ya~
