Another week in the mission!!! Almost 4 down in the field WHATTT I love the life of being a missionary and want this spirit to be with me my whole life!!! So here's my week :)
Wednesday: we did lots of missionary work and I loved it!! That's how it should be right!! We did lots of contacting and at the end of the day we went to institute we were hoping Vladimir would show up but unfortunately he didn't :( he has lots of at home trials that keep him from doing some of the things that are going to keep him progressing.
Thursday: I am convinced that as soon as I walked into the mtc I lost half my memory. I call it my missionary mind. HAHAHA serious tho I cant remember anything anymore!! So good thing I keep a journal!
Thursday omg we had an awesome experience!! It was time for comp study, we drove to one place and it was a place we couldnt study at soooo... we saw a donut shop and thought ohhh let's study there, we drove there and it was closed!!! Ya i know so random it was closed in the middle of the day on a Thursday it was Gods plan tho! After that we just decided ok let's go to our regular spot at the lake so we did! At the lake we went into a cute smoothie shop and the lady working there was so cute! Her name is Mar- Nae and she was telling us how she has been looking to grow her faith this summer and that it was crazy that we just happened to walk in! It was awesome and I am so grateful to see miracles like this one. Also she gave us free smoothies!! so nice!!
We taught Kyree today too! Kyree if you remember is a recent convert and he is 11! Our first lesson with him he was CRAZY!! hahah he was so energetic and couldnt sit still! But this lesson we planned a game! We made a hop scotch with chalk and put principles in the squares and as he played he had to stop and explain the principle to us. He loved it and was sooo involved. So if anyone has anymore fun games let me know :)
Friday: District Council with everyone going from the GAM to the GANM!! It was so fun!! Two of the office elders from the north mission were there and they were very cool so I'm excited! After we went to a place called Jefferson's and got some wings! So yum!!
Saturday: service at the thrift store hearts of faith!! The store is closing and we helped organize it before everything was officially closed. We shared with her more about the church and she said she might be interested because her son goes but lets hope she comes!!
We had a referral!! Hayley!! She was referred by some sisters in my "old" mission hahahah anyway she had twins and shes very busy!! We helped her clean her house and just got to know her for a while so that was nice. We are excited to help her come closer to Christ!
Saturday night we went to a car show to find people with some elders! It was really fun!!
Sunday: last day in the GAM!! Sister Trussell and I spoke in church!! Its not as scary for me here because I really don't know these people yet hahaha after church we had a picnic with Alexis!! Alexis us a member and Sunday was her one year mark of her baptism so we went to celebrate!! After we took her to be a missionary with us hahaha after about 3 houses she was EXHAUSTED from the mission life and the heat!! Sister Trussell and I were laughing so hard because it was like 5 minutes after being a missionary! So that shows you how hard it is hahaha we went to a members house to get alexis some water so that was good hahaha
The mission life is fun, crazy, repetitive, and spiritual!! I hope you all can continue to grow your faith in Christ and realize we can do all things through him. Always remember my favorite quote! "I believe in christ like I believe in the sun not because I can see it but by it I can see everything else" I have seen that to come even more true while I have been on my mission because many things I never thought I would be able to do I've done so wooo!!!
