All you beautiful people Hello, Hello, Hello!!!
This is gonna be a good one so hold on for the word vomit!!! Its
Halloween....so I thought that was a fitting analogy to use :)
Tuesday
was a good day. Sister Lee cut herself some bangs. I have a pretty
funny video, but you'll have to wait to see it, because it is too big to
send via email. We had a bunch of plans to visit our investigators and
such, but the Elders called and we ended up doing some service for a
few hours instead. It was good, and I even used a weedwacker. I was
pretty impressed with myself for doing so, so its okay if you want to be
impressed too. :) We had a member present lesson scheduled, and the
member and us were present, but our investigator wasn't, so that was a
shame. Then we tried to contact some referrals with the same member,
and that also did not go as planned. When we were knocking on the one
door she started laughing when it was apparent that no one was there,
and she said "I can just see you doing this all day and not getting an
answer, how fun." We just laughed and said well it does happen a bunch,
but sometimes we do actually get an answer. It doesn't bother me, I
just do what I can and hope that eventually something will work out,
because the Lord is in charge and He wants there to be success, these
are His children so I know something is going to happen.....hopefully
soon tho :)
Zone Conference!!!!!! Blessed day I was inspired!!! The
spirit was phenomenal, it was so strong and I loved, loved, loved it. I
took 25 pages of notes, so that's gotta say something right. We talked
about lots of things and I wanted to go out and do everything that they
taught us....right then. I liked what President taught about how we
live in the wilderness, and we need to learn to let it draw us closer to
God, like Nephi and not be like Laman and have it pull us away. One
thing that truly stuck out was when President said "Your obedience
influences someone else's Eternity." How important obedience truly
is!!!! It makes me want to be so much better, because exact obedience
brings miracles. President Bradley was there again, and everything he
had to say was wonderful, as always!! He is an awesome man, I truly
respect him, like lots and lots. I
loved when he told us we have authority to preach the
gospel. It is true and sometimes I think I forget how I have been
Endowed with power and I need to make the choice to use it. I don't
know, I could just go on and on and on about what I learned, but I want
to get to other stuff, before I run out of time. But know this I was
sitting in a room full of awesome power!!! The missionaries that I am
surrounded by are fabulous examples and my leaders are inspired by God.
I know that to be absolutely true.
Thursday
we helped set up for our Ward's Halloween party and did a few things,
and went to the Halloween party, and then helped clean up the party. So
that was good. We also had a quick meeting with a potential who said
that he would read the Restoration pamphlet and then get back to
us....but I think we shall call him, just to make sure all is well and
such.
Friday we were domesticish and made Rice Crispy treats so that was fun. We got to play with some adorable puppies which was fun.
Saturday
we did some stuff..............I got adopted by this really nice old
man. Who said that he would like to be my grandpa cool stuff huh? I got
the package from Grandma and yall. That was fabulous timing, because
it was chilly and I have been able to use some of the stuff that was
sent. I absolutely love the skirt, it was so cute, and my shirts and
sweaters are greatly appreciated.
Sunday
is a wonderful day. Sacrament meeting was fantastic!!!!! Like I took
some really great notes. "Faith is principle of action, nurture your
faith". Another was all abt being Children of God and was absolutely
fabulous. the last one was about Personal relationships and how
important they are, and how the Atonement can help us thru anything. It
was such a good meeting. We visited a less active family that is super
nice. We had sat down on their front step so I could write a note to
leave on their door when they pulled into their driveway so that was
good timing. We looked kinda like weirdos sitting on their porch, but
its all good.
So tomorrow
we are teaching Early Morning Seminary on 2 Ne 27. So I have reread
that twice lately and it is so awesome. I just can't imagine being
Joseph Smith and translating it and realizing that Nephi was prophesying
of you. That would be crazy. If you haven't read it lately I suggest
you do because I really have enjoyed rereading it.
I love you and I love this gospel, I know that it is
true. Heavenly Father knows each one of us individually and we are each
special to Him. Jesus Christ did the will of the Father and He did it
out of love for us. Joseph Smith truly did see a vision and he Restored
Christ's original gospel back to this earth. We have a modern Prophet,
and we can receive our own personal revelation. Our testimony and our
conversion are something that is so special and must be worked on
everyday in order to stay strong.
Have a fabulous week, and enjoy Halloween!!
Love,
