Hi!
How are you doing family? I never know how to start emails
anymore haha. This week has been really interesting adjusting to a new companion.
This week I have been able to see how just little things I
do and say can have an impact on people for the rest of their life. On Monday night
Sister Rose and I really wanted to treat ourselves and go out to dinner at our
favourite restaurant, cause it was our last night together. But a member
(Pauline) called us and invited us to come for dinner. Pauline
is the best, she spoils missionaries like crazy and is one of my favourite
people I have met in England. So we go over, and right before we knock on the
door we decided we are going to share a message about New Years resolutions and
watch Look Not Behind Thee. So we go and have dinner and play Rumikub (and I won! Woohoo go
me!). Then we shared the message and next thing we know she is in tears. She
has been struggling for a very long time now and that
morning, she woke up determined that this year is the year she is going to go to the temple again. It was so cool to see how when we
forget ourselves and do what the Lord wants, miracles happen. We got a call a
few days later and she is doing much better! She just kept thanking us for that message and the spirit we brought into her
life. It was one of the coolest experiences of my mission.
That was definitely the highlight of my week. I have also
been able to talk to Sister Moyes about the beginning of our missions and she
has shared with me how I influenced her a lot in the MTC. I never realize the
impact I have on people, but it is really cool to be able to see it sometimes.
Funny story from this week:
On Thursday we were supposed to take an investigator to the
temple for a VC tour. So we arranged it with a member and everything was fine
and dandy. Well we all go in the members car...drove about 5 yards...and her
tire blew. It was so funny. But we weren't supposed to go cause our
investigator got super sick right after that. It just makes me laugh how the
Lord works. His ways are mysterious.
Something that I have learned over the past few days is the
importance of progression. We are here to progress, we are never done learning all
that we need to learn. This is something that I have to constantly remind
myself, there is always something I can do better on and I need to constantly
be trying to be better. I studied Alma 5 this morning and it was a good
reminder of how far I've come on my mission, but also how much further I have
to go.
I love you all so much! I do miss you a lot, this week I
think I have experienced the most home sickness I've had on my mission...but I
know I will see you again soon enough. I just rely on the Lord all day everyday
and I get through. I will try to do better
with my emails and being more detailed, all the days just seem to blend
together now haha. But I love you!
Love you!
