Well this week was seriously the fastest week in my whole entire mission. I think I say that every week but for reals this week was loco hot coco fast. haha (:
So Tuesday and Wednesday were pretty boring
although I was pretty excited because we were able to teach a few Spanish lessons which I was excited about.
On Thursday guess what I got to do?? I WENT TO LOUDON!! I got to go
to Loudon for an exchange with Hermana Lindhardt and I was SO
excited(: Basically all we did all day was try and contact Spanish
people that her and her companion are normally too scared to contact but
none of them really worked out so we ended up visiting some people that
I used to visit and that went pretty well.
I had a really great
experience with Hermana Lindhardt that really changed me as a missionary
and a person though. If you don't mind I would like to share it with
you. So she and I are very similar in a lot of different ways and I
guess it wasn't anything significant that happened but she was able to
really open up to me and we were able to work out some of her concerns
with the mission and I don't know, I just felt like even though we
didn't teach anyone any special lessons, I felt like I was suppose to be
there for her and I am just so grateful for that. (:
One other cool
thing we did that day was translate for this one family. So we showed up
at Yamels house (a less active/ Part-member family) and we walked right
in and this white girl looked strait up at us and was all, "Oh my
gosh, I am soo grateful that you guys are here!! Can you help me talk to
them??" And so we ended up translating for this random girl from this
company and we ended up committing the family to come to church on
Sunday. Anyways, I know that the Lord leads and guides his missionaries
to be in the right spot where he needs them. (: Loudon is the best place
ever! Love it so much!(:
Friday was the day that I was definitely not looking forward to. We
had to go to la Conferencia de Zone and Sister Malloy and I had to give
a training on "how to work with your companion in Unity" which is so
ironic because we have both had like a ton of companions and so it was
just one of the scariest things that I have ever done. hahah But we got
through it, just like everything else. haha (:
On Sabado one cool thing we did was we went over to the Mcallesters
(a less active family) and we watched the Joseph Smith movie and it
seriously had been so long since I have seen a movie and when I watched
it, it was like answer to prayer. I loved it because it sorta put into
perspective what we are actually doing here. It has helped me to be less
scared and shy when we go tracting or OYMing. I guess I am just so
grateful that the Lord chose me to be one of his servants and someone he
could trust to have the gospel. (:
Love you all. That's all for this week(:
