Just kidding :) Ha, Mom.... you thought I was pulling an "elder move" on ya! I will tell you a tiny little dot of our experiences and tender mercies this week. :)
First of all, we attended our Mission Leadership Council this week and it was incredible. All about chapter 4 in PMG, Recognizing and Being Worthy for the Spirit. It was awesome. It was fun to see so many of my best friends here on the mission and be able to discuss, plan, set goals, and receive revelation for the zones and missionaries in this mission.
We had splits again this week and I got to split with my BATCH. Sister Howlett. It was seroiusly SO awesome. We had a great time and I learned so much from her. She is so humble and the goals and spirit we felt was something I will not forget. This assignment I have as a Sister Training Leader has been such a blessing and is helping me learn and become the missionary I have always imagined I could be, but just never really did. I am so humbled and grateful to Heavenly Father.
We found some really awesome investigators this week, and had some awesome follow up lessons with investigators we found last week. The best friend of one of our solid fellowshippers has come out of the woodworks! She has been introduced to the gospel many times, but now we are finally focusing on her. And little did we know that her entire family is also interested. Last night we shared with them the story of the Restoration and the spirit was thick. They want us to keep coming back and Mika came to church yesterday. She had such a positive experience and I can just see their family in white, just living, loving, and eating up the Restored Gospel.
This has been one of the hardest weeks I've had in a long time, but also one of the most rewarding. I am so happy and love the work that I get to do. My companion is awesome and I am learning so much.
Every day I get to:
live in this beautiful country
share the restored gospel
see people change
watch people show their faith
study the restored gospel for 2-3 hours every day
eat good food
see more people change
laugh hard
and so much more....
I love you all and love my Savior. He lives and is the head of this church.
