Well hello everyone!! Here are the adventure for the past week!
1. Had a lesson with Chloe and her mom Clara. Chloe has been going to seminary this whole year and been going to church for about 2 years now and never met with missionaries... why? Couldn't tell ya hahaha But Sister Cornwall her seminary teacher invited her and we met at their home. Chloe is SO ready, her mom is just meeting so she will know what her daughter is learning. She is very supportive of her though which is great. She can see the change that the Gospel is bringing to Chloe's life.
2. Valentine’s Day!! I got my new companion! Her name is Sister Butler. She is from American Fork, Utah. She went to University of Utah for 2 years. She is the middle of two brothers. It was funny an elder reminded me it was Valentine’s day... my days are just dates and names now. Crazy.
3. We met with a lot of members this week and we are trying to get to know them and ask about anyone they know who needs a little extra visit. Many names are coming to us.
4. We had a training session with the trainers and trainees this week and during we had a break out session. Us trainers when to a question and answer type of this and WHOA! We got into a really deep discussion about Faith. At the end president just goes, "Can you feel it? The spirit is teaching us all and telling us the answers to the questions we haven't asked out loud." Every one of us raised our hand. It was awesome!
5. In a meeting with Paula one of our investigators, WoW! The youth are so much stronger. She is amazing! She is friends with president’s daughter. She has come to church and committed to be baptized on the 11th. We were able to meet with her mom as well this week. She knows her daughter is ready and wants to learn more too. She also wants her son who is at Weber in Utah to meet with missionaries too. Paula is doing great. She is up to 1 Nephi 10. Well that was on Saturday. She was at church on Sunday and really seemed to be talking to the other youth and seemed to enjoy it.
6. We had dinner with this pretty funny family. We were shown a video of when eh got his eyebrows waxed earlier that day lol SO funny! They are ward missionaries. We have heard from the Relief Society that they might need a little extra help to stay active. They like to pick and choose commandments to live apparently. We shall find out.
7. Favorite scripture this week... Alma 56:16-17. Not sure if I have shared this one before but I have been thinking about it a lot since I don't want to be "conquered" by an area. I want to be able to show the people here what the gospel is all about and the blessings that can come to them.
I miss and LOVE you all!!
