Hello everyone!! It was AMAZING to see you yesterday!!!! LOVED it!! There isn't too much that I didn't tell you about so today will be a little shorter of a letter :]
1. We had an investigator come to church!! Mary. She wasn't able to stay all three hours but she said that the sacrament made her feel happy and that she is trying to quit smoking and she thinks this will help.
2. We met with Vince again this week. And asked him what he wanted from meeting with us since it has been a LONG time with missionaries. We committed him to pray about it, including the Book of Mormon again. We shall see this week how it is going for him.
3. We went to visit 6 people in this one RV park. First of all the place was HUGE and like a fancy RV place. Secondly, the numbers don't go in order. Third we spent 2 hours and only saw two people... BUT it was good! one of them being a less active who set up an appointment with us for this week!
4. Sadly I found out one of the sisters that I came out with went home a week ago. She got really sick and went home. I feel so bad for her. She was really a great missionary!
5. Calling home was AMAZING!! I'm SO lucky to know most updates but I haven't seen you so it was fun to see and hear your voices! I miss being able to laugh and hear you. Sounds silly but its true.
6. I got to meet a TON of ward member yesterday since it was my first time to the ward... they seem nice but there is a LOT of work to do... I'm excited to be here and hopefully I am up for the challenge :]
7. Favorite scriptures this week... 1 Nephi 15:8, 10-11 In verse 8 I love how simply it is put, "And I said unto them: Have ye inquired of the Lord?" How often do we forget to pray about it first? I remember mom ALWAYS saying, "Have you prayed about it?" Then in verse 11 we are promised, "these things shall be made known unto you." We HAVE to pray. Plain and simple.
8. Next favorite scripture this week... 1 Nephi 16:23 Nephi's bow breaks... his family INCLUDING his father murmur. Nephi sees the problem and fixes it. We have to be like this. We see the problem and think about how sad it is or ask "why me?" When in reality, we need to ask for guidance in how to fix it and then actually do it! LOVE IT!
Well this past week was pretty good but I am looking forward to this week to be even better! LOVE YOU ALL!!
