Hello my lovely family!
This week has been so good! I finally got my companion and I absolutely
LOVE her! She is so great! We have sooooo much fun together and I love it. We
just bonded instantly! She is basically already trained. I am pretty sure she
came to train me some more. I have already learned so much from her and I am
positive I haven't even taught her half the stuff that she has taught me. She is
such a good missionary and she is just a natural at everything. The other day we
were running for the bus and this little family were walking across the street.
They walked directly behind the bus so we couldn't see them and they had a pram.
She was sprinting and didn't see them and took out the pram and the child and
just continued running. She said sorry but kind of forgot to stop and make sure
they were ok. it was hilarious. It might be something that you had to witness
but anyway.. it was funny and the baby was ok. Everyone was just shocked. She is
hilarious and we are just constantly laughing which makes everything so much
more fun.
It's nice to be able to be in just one area again. but while I was gone
things kind of died so that means we are doing a lot of finding so we will have
people to teach. We spent most of the day on Saturday just contacting and
knocking. We were feeling like knocking was being really ineffective so we
decided to just go and contact people on the street. We got off a stop early and
the second person we stopped was golden. She was like I feel like my prayers
have been answered and I just feel lost and confused and we were like "don't you
even fret we can help you. :)" Maybe not like that but she just wanted to know
her purpose and so we asked her if she had a minute and we shared some of the
plan of salvation with her and invited her to come to church. So the next day at
church I was a bit sad because we invited a few people and none of them came!
About 5 minutes after church started she showed up. It was so great and we were
so thankful. Afterward she was like I feel like this is where I needed to be
today and I felt very comfortable here and I definitely felt the spirit. So that
was an amazing miracle and we are seeing her again tomorrow.
It's just so great to be here and I am
loving every second of it. And it's so amazing to be able to be led by the
spirit. Sister Nelson, Willard and a few others were talking the other day about
finding new people. Sister Nelson was like I wish that we had some sort of
device that told us when people were ready for the gospel and it would just beep
when we pointed it at them.. and one of the members was like.. we do have a
device that tells us that.. it's called the spirit!! Listen to the prompting of
the spirit we have our own little walky talky between us and God that is telling
us where to go and what to do. Make a conscious effort to listen more closely.
As I have been doing that I have been able to recognize better what it is that I
need to do and it can be applied in missionary work as well as in making daily
decisions about our life. HOW LUCKY ARE WE TO HAVE THIS WONDERFUL GIFT!! I love
the gospel. I love you and i hope that you all have a wonderful week and are
having fun camping.
love you all like crazy and miss you as well!!
Love syd
