Here we are another week that flew by!!
Tuesday: we spent the morning doing service for a place called the Peace Place. Its a safe house for women! We did lots of yard work & went with 11 missionaries total so we had lots of hands!! It was sooo fun!!
We did another service! A family in our ward was getting evicted from their home & had to be out that day so we went over their last minute & packed EVERYTHING up. It was sooo sad to see this young family having to leave their home with no idea where to go but im grateful we were able to be there to help them!!
Wednesday: we had a Training Leader conference!! It was soooo good!! The Senior Training Leaders gave a training & so did Sister Harris!! It was great to be able to council with other sisters & get ideas about whats working during covid & being quarantined & all that. It gave me even more motivation for the work & to help other sister missionaries!!
Ok now for the fun part... GUESS WHAT... on wednesday the WANGEMANNS FROM BACK HOME took my whole house to lunch!!! I cant even put into words how fun it was & what it meant to me. Seeing their whole family here in Georgia was incredible!! Some of my favorite people right here in my favorite place!! Soo shout out to them for being soooo kind & taking a group of missionaries to lunch! Wooo
Thursday: we had District Council as usual & afted got to do service together at the peace place!! We moved lots of beds & loaded & unloaded lots of things!! I never thought I would like service as much as i do but woooo!
We taught a self referral through zoom! His name is Ruben & we spent most of the time getting to know him & telling him what we do as missionaries. Hopefully he will have a desire to learn more because were not really sure how interested he is so pray for him!!
Friday: we spent our morning cleaning a members home!! Her husband has worked double over time since the virus started & hasnt been able to clean her home so we went & cleaned it for her!! She had so much appreciation for what we were doing. Yay for service!!
We had lunch with Sister Wallace & usually her daughter lauren joins us but she wasnt feeling up for it. Lauren has a mental disability & bishop wallace really wants her to have more social interaction so we go over there once a week & have lunch & visit with them. Its great to be making a impact by doing such a small thing. Even when Lauren doesnt participate it helps sister wallace to be able to chat with us!
Saturday: we helped the penningtons get everything out of their house & get MOVED!! wow sooo many people from the ward were there i dont think ive ever seen so much help from a ward. The winder ward is definitely a ward family. It got to a point where there were to many hands & not enough work!! Incredible!! The penningtons are awesome tho & have definitely impacted my time here in winder!
Sunday: we had the spanish group, church & then we did a zoom call with a member!! Sundays are my favorite days!! We got the teach our neighbor rachel who is amazing!! We met her because her friend is a member & about 2 weeks ago they came knocking on our door asking if we could pray for them!! It was a really cool experience & opened the door for us to teach rachel!! So we went over & got to know her & sang her a hymn!! It was soooo good!!
We went to Marthas for dinner & its always a good time!! Its crazy because i love Martha sooo much even tho i cant communicate with her at all. We just like get eachother woooo!!
Yay for another week as a missionary!! Missionary work is the best kind of work & ohhh what a privilege it is to be apart of it! I love being a missionary & im so grateful for the time i still have to be here in Georgia loving all the people!!
Have a great week everyone!! Love yall!!
Xoxo, Sister Barton
