Hello everyone!
wow it sounds like everyone has had such a great week! I really
love hearing from you all! wow I feel like so much has happened since the
last time I spoke to all of you! well for starters I am getting transferred sorta. I will still live where I live but I will be serving
in a different area in the mountains. Also I am whitewash training which
means I am training and we will be going into an area that hasn't had
missionaries. Haha this poor sister please pray for her!! I am so
nervous to train! I have no idea what I am doing. I have to admit I am a
little surprised I thought for sure I was staying in my area. Sister
Munoz is also leaving that area. It's crazy things just started to
really get going and then we leave!! we really saw miracles happen
together! we went from an a dead to area and to having two baptisms and a
lot more investigators and the ward is so excited about missionary
work. I am a little sad to leave but I trust the lord!! haha i keep
thinking about my future comp leaving the mtc tomorrow=) please pray for
her=) we are gonna need it! we will also be driving in a truck this
transfer. I need to buy a gps!!
I am so stoked that Ben and Mckayla are going to Az! and they are
having another little girl=) man that is so dang weird!! Mckayla I want
pregnacny pics=) the pictures of Aniston are adorable and they melt my
heart just like always. I am glad Clair is getting some time off!!! and
dad and chris are going to seattle that should be so fun! that is crazy
that Nicole and remmie are already going back !
This week was so great!! our area was so blessed! Man I love the
people here so much its unreal, they really have become like family to
me. On monday we met a lady who has a pig farm... she showed us all of
them and the ones she has as house pets.. then we met the biggest dang
pig i have ever seen in my entire life!!! it weighs 650 lbs... what a
ham=) this week I have been really looking at familes... thats why I am
out here. the moms fighting with their kids to be quiet, dads playing
ball with their kids, thats what life is all about the small simple moments and family=) we had a lot of successes in less active work. so
many of them opened up to us and we were able to finally hear what their
real concerns were and had a lot of powerful lessons lead by the spirit.
we had exchanges this week and I loved the sister I was with and we
were able to teach a couple of amazing lessons! It's the coolest thing
to see when the spirit really starts working with someone and when they
start to repent and use the atonement. there is such a different light in
their eyes.
The thing that brought me the most joy this week was the members.
their whole mind set towards missionaries and the missionary work has
changed so much in the past 6 weeks. When I first got here our ward didn't really trust missionaries and missionary work wasn't a huge
priority. that is completely different!! we have people telling us that
they have people for us to teach this week! ( too bad we wont be here)
the bishop is on fire, he placed 3 books of mormon last week and the
ward has started to as well! the whole fast and testimony meeting was on
missionary work. D_____gets baptized saturday!!! I am so excited11
the ward is so excited too=) they havnt had a baptism in a long time so
they are all so excited about it. the ward is changing and the
missionaries in that ward better be ready=) haha the bishop and ward
mission leader are not happy that we are getting transferred.
so it rained..... a ton!!!!!! holy cow I have never been so wet but
i absolutely loved it. I thought about Chris's saying "life isnt about
waiting for the storm to pass its about learning to dance in the rain."
well we danced =) I couldn't stop smiling and laughing all day because we
were so wet and looked so pathetic but you better believe we sure had
fun=) I love sister Munoz so much. I sure will miss her!
so we had an awesome experience this week. a brother in our ward in a
seminary teacher and he loves us. He texted us one day and said that
while he was preparing for his lesson for hte next day he received very
specific revelation and that we needed to come to class the next
morning. so we went and he teaches High school Jr's and Sr's. well when we
got there he had everyones names written across the chalk board and
everyone had to write a list of every non member person they knew. the
kids wrote down so many names. well then he read the talk "a voice of
warning" and talked about how they needed to share the gospel with
these people they knew. then one kid raised his had and asked if we
could all kneel in prayer and ask heavenly father for revelation on who
they needed to share the gosple with. so there we were at 6:30 in the
morning Kneeling with a bunch of high school students seeking revelation
on who to share the gospel with. and they received revelation!!! it was
so awesome! we have been hearing about how they have placed books of
mormons and have been sharing the gosple like crazy since then=) the
youth are amazing!!! and this marvelous work is hastening!
I am still so hung up on the pre earth life this week. I keep
thinking about who we were and what faith we had. this week however I
thought about a different part. We were still in Heaven when our brother
Jesus Christ endured the atonement.... I wonder what we were doing during
that moment. I wonder if we were all praying to give him the strength
to do it. I'm sure heaven was full of weeping that day and a somber
quietness as we watched as he endured undescribable pain for us.....I
wonder what our father said to us.... It has just been on my mind a lot.
we were so full of faith! Our spirits are still faithfull to him that
calls us but are we listening to him with faith? I am so thankful for
him and who all of you were before we came here.
the work we were saved to do is happening!!! are we on board? I am
so happy to be a missionary. thanks for all the support=) I love you
all.
p.s. I miss doozer =)
love you all know that I am very happy but so nervous to train, please help =)
