Im feeling pretty good now and were working more and more each day.
President just wants me to go slowly into and not rush anything but Im
feeling good! Once again a true miracle- 3 weeks later, just some
bruises and scratches left! Such a blessing and I am so thankful the
lord is aware of his misionaries and protects them! Miracles are real
and I am much more aware of the big and especially the small ones I see
everyday! To answer some more questions: we did see Leroy the big guy
with the bab, but just like you expereinced with the sisters, which is a
VERY real thing for missionaries we got flogged! It is very
disappointing but keep going out wih the sisters! I love that you go out
wih them! I bet they are the best! you will hve to send a pic of them
and you! We saw the old man at the poppy apelle but he was on his way
out! But he loves us and yelled as we walked away "Man...I wish I was
younger" as him and his walker went the other way, but we are going to
teach him this week and hopefully get him to church!
We also put 2 of our investigators on baptismal date! Chris is back
on a date for the 14 and Eddie from Zimbabwe is on date for the 22 of
Dec! Chris is doing ok, but we just have to get him to church, the main
thing he is missing! That is one of the hardest things as missionaires
to expereince on Sundays. You do everything you possible can, even wake
up early to bang on his window 4 times sunday morning to wake him up and
they still chose not to come. Agency..sometimes I dont appreciate it,
but I know progress is all in the Lords time! We taught Eddie the Plan
of Salvation this week and he loved it! He said it means everything to
him, over and over again. He is so excited to see him mum again someday
who passed away a year ago! He is so humble and basically said what we
would say to him about reading and praying about the BOM! It takes time
and dedication my sistas (in his afircan accent), I need to do it every
day and I will fill of the lords power! I love him so much! We also got a
new invstigator this week who was a referral! Missionaries love
referrals! The Lord is blessing our area and it is a testimony
strenghtner to me that the Lord knows me and knows I cant go 100% right
now and he knows that and sees us doing our best and he is picking up
the rest!
Elder Dyches was Amazing! SO inspiring and I learnt so much from
him. He is so down to earth and his wife is so sweet! We all got to talk
and meet him for a bit and of course I had to tell the story to him of
how I got hit by a car, but we talked about miracles! Such an incredible
expereince to speak with a man so close to God. I could feel his spirit
as I spoke to him. Our Zone conference was on Setting Goals and being
Accountable and teaching skills and I have so much to apply to our work
this week, but its a new challange to apply it all. I love it! He said
so many incredible things but what I loved the most was he said " You
call it your mission, but it really is not". He talked about how the
Lord can do so much more with you, then you can do with yourself. It is
all about turning yourself over the the lord, which is hard to do, but a
noble and worthy task.
Heitje is married!! haha wow when did this happen! I need to see
pictures of that! The mini mission was great this week and she loved it!
I learnt alot and hopefully we helped her to prepare for her mission!
It made me think of how I got my mission call about a year ago and look
where we are now. Time is a funny thing and goes by so fast. Live it up,
because it goes fast!
I also got a package a week back from my good friend Kelsey Hess
who is serving in San Diego and she sent me this cool Cali shirt! I had
to show here im rocking it across the world! Dad I got the book and it
is amazing!I hope my words can live up to some of the words allready
written it, and thanks for the words from Bishop as well, I love that
and will share that with others at Dinnner apps! Speaking of dinner
apps, we are so spoiled here! We have DAs every day this week till the
29th! haha We are loved in Derby ward!
This Thanksgiving week I am full of Gratitude and thanks. I am
thankful for my life, especially from these last couple weeks, I know I
am watched over. Looking back on these past couple months with Dallins
accident and then me getting hit by a car out of the blue, life is
precious and we need to give thanks for it, we never know what may lie
around the corner. I am grateful for my family. I am so blessed to be
surrounded by amazing people all over the world. I am blessed to have
this incredible knoweldege that my Saviour lives and knows and loves me
and so blessed to be on a mission, I know each day is shaping me into a
better person and I love my mission. We have so many things to be
thankful for: the good times and the bad times. They all contribute to
our wellbeing. Enjoy Thanksgiving and remember to pause to thank our
Heavenly Father for the many things we have in our lives. President
emailed and said has been said that one single thankful thought raised
to heaven is the most perfect prayer. Thank you for everything.
Make it a great week and every travel safely whereever you go!
Enjoy Wisconsin and also dinner at the Lindseys! Sounds like fun! Love
you all! Thanks for everything
