over looking the ocean on top of the castle ruins
We didn't get a letter on Monday because of their Zone Development. She wrote today instead. This is a picture of a Castle in ruins that is on the beach that she and some other missionaries visited on their last Pday.
Hi ya!
Yeah
I hope jimmies blog is going good! and that you get my letter soon
there's one that has a bunch of different letters to my friends in it.
Like jacy kelli ect... if you manage to see them and give it to them
that would be fantasmical! And Kelli! AH! So cool I am
guessing.... Louisiana and..... Canada! haha I dunno that's so cool! I've
not go a lot of time to write, so there
won't be any pics, but I did get your package! Loved it! A lot! and I'm
writing late because we had Zone Development in Dundee which is just
where our zone gets together and plays a bunch of games and eats food
and yeah! It's just a fun time! So todays like our mini p-day where we
do shopping, e-mailing, etc.
Aw..
poor Conner! Just before his belt exam! (mom here: Conner had 4 teeth pulled) That's craziness, poor kid. I
love telling people that he's a blackbelt though :) I think it makes me
look cooler ;) haha. His Birthday I coming up sooooon! how do you feel
about that mother? Your heart gonna be ok? C:
I'm not going to lie. This week was hard. Full of miracles, but hard.
There's a new member that we see very often (because she loves the
missionaries) that wanted us over for lunch on Saturday. Only we didn't
know! We accidentally didn't see her whole txt and then there was
another one she sent that didn't get to us until the next day. Long
story short she was very upset and it really distracted us the whole
day. Not to mention that I was already feeling like crap because we
hadn't gotten any QGC's (she does say what this is exactly but we think it's Question Gospel Contact or something similar) at all this week and that's mainly my fault. I
just have trouble not only speaking with people in general but I find myself quickly getting impatient. I find it hard to persist and keep
asking questions and getting an appointment. Once they've said no like
twice I'm like ok lets go but so many other missionaries keep persisting
and I just cant find the strength to do it! Ugh... I've been reading a
lot on grace and thinking about 'the gospel gap' but I still can't seem
to improve my contacting abilities. . . But! we met up with a less active who is very sick
and can hardly walk to her door let alone go to church. She had a rough
time when she was younger and lost her testimony of the church. So when
we visited her she kept saying that we could keep coming over because
she liked the company, but that it would take a miracle for her to go
back to church. She wouldn't let us leave her with a prayer afterwards
either but as soon as Sis. Wilkinson and I left we agreed that she would
definitely come back to church. We felt the spirit so strongly when we
were in there and we just know that with time she will come back.
Also
we met 8 other deaf people this Saturday! We didn't realize that Lily
was going to invite so many of her friends to a dinner she asked us to
come to. Deaf people are like the kindest most receptive people of all
time. We had some really good convos with about 4 of them. One of them
named Angela came to church the next day and then 3others said they
would definitely attend Lily's baptism! So cool! They are all just so
nice!!!
Prayers
are miracles. I can't tell you how many times peoples hearts have been
softened this week through our fervent prayers. I know that we can find
strength through them, even though it's hard to see the blessings from
them I know they always come. I know the Lord strengthens us by asking
us to act in faith. I know he loves His children and wants them all to
receive the blessings of this gospel in THIS life. Not later. This life
is our biggest opportunity to become like out Heavenly Father and learn.
it is the smallest, but the most important part on the eternal time
line. (can it be a time line if it's eternal...? Hmm thats one for you
to ponder ;) ) Anyway although it was hard it was a great week full of
blessings and love!
OH!
And I made it into the missionary choir for Easter! :D I think I'm
going to be an alto! Woot! Also, I'm pretty sure we perform in Edinburgh
castle at one point!! :DD SO cool. But you know whats cooler? Watching
the way the light of Christ and the knowledge of the gospel changes
people. I better go but I love you momma! Tell the boys I love them too!
Tell conner happy birthday and that I have a package headed your way
soon that will contain gifts for said birthday child and probably
chocolate for everyone C:
Loves!!
