Family and Friends!!
So, me and sister pead are getting another go together...we
both are staying in prior lake for another transfer!! its gunna be awesome! We
have had a lot of fun together, so we are excited to party on again for the
next 6 weeks. Crazy that I’ll be in prior lake for 5 transfers by the end
of this next one!! it makes me happy though...
So, this week was not as adventurous as last week, not a bad
thing....sister pead and I needed a week to get everything together after last
week :) jokes!! but you know what I mean!
Monday!!
Monday was crazy! We were informed at 9:30 Sunday night that
we were in charge of putting together or a "Forbes magazine" for
president and sister Forbes. the zone leaders said that we were the most
"crafty" out of the group...I asked what about me screams that I’m
"crafty"?!? But you know me, I was not about to say no..so
ya...it was a lot of work to do in just one day. Yeah, do ask how we got
it all done cause it was not approved! it turned out good, no joke we got
it all done and handed it to President and sister Forbes! we didn't even get to
get a picture of it! After it was all done we told the zone leaders that they
owe us BIG!
Tuesday!
Tuesday we had our first meeting with President and Sister
Forbes. it was cool to get to know them better. President did a
training on working with less active members and building our teaching pool
from referrals from them. it’s a big switch from how we worked before,
but it think that as we work with the ward and the less actives we will find
more success than we are with knocking doors. With that said, he made
sure we understood that we still needed to do knock some doors :)
We also had interviews with president forbes. it was more of
a get to know you interview. He is really nice and I’m really looking
forward to getting to know him better. He asked me about my family and
how my mission has gone so far. it was really funny cause in the car ride
home sister pead and I talked about our interviews and we were asked the same
questions! it made us smile!!
Sister Forbes is really awesome too! we talked to her for a
bit and she says that she just wants to teach and be with the missionaries.
I’m really looking forward to working more with her and having her come
teaching with us. She is a convert to the church and she shared her story
with us...its so cool to see that because of one kids willingness to follow the
spirit and open his mouth to share the gospel, president and sister forbes are
here!
Wednesday!
Wednesday was our first normal day we had of the week...if
that is possible as a missionary! haha! no day is normal!! We had a full
day of lessons and appointments! we met with sister Kangas for the first time
since her baptism..she is doing awesome! its so cool to hear how she felt about
her baptism...she just glowed! We made her a journal of her baptism day..we had
everyone there write in it and had pictures...she really like it!
we also met with brother and sister B. that was fun!! we
asked them if they were coming to church and brother b said NO, thats right in
the middle of the British open!! I had to laugh because of course he would say
that...no worries daddy..he has been keeping up to date on all things that go
down in the golf world! :) including the winner winner of the event!
MCLORY!!
Thursday!!
Oh man!! we had the best lesson with sister W today!!! it
was so spiritual! we had our district leader come with us and we talked about
recognizing the spirit..it was perfect! we wrote down some of the MANY ways
that the spirit gives us answers to our prayers on a white board and then asked
her if she has felt ABC in her life...then at the end we told we wrote at the
top of the board answers from the spirit! At that point it was like a SPIRIT
BOMB!! we just sat in the spirit, it was like the perfect moment!!! you could
see the spirit speak to her! CRAZY!!!
Friday!!
We did some service today...we went over to the C families
and help sister C clean her kitchen!! Man, I love them, they are like my family
away from home. they take such good care of us. They even had us over for
dinner...we had breakfast! it was awesome!! We also went and saw the G
family that night. The G family is another recent convert in our ward.
Sister G is such a great missionary. She reads the Book of Mormon
to her co workers during their lunch break! its so awesome!! She gave them our
card so we are hoping they will call us so we can hook them up with
missionaries in where they live. It was so sweet...last time we were over
at there house sister G talked about how she didn't have a nativity set because
before now Christmas was all about opening presents..so when we went over
friday night, I took them my snow man nativity...sister G freaked out! She
loved it!! it was so cool to watch her look at all the pieces and then smile
and ask how you set them up...we helped her arrange all the piece around the
baby snow man, Jesus...it was really cool!
Saturday!
We started the day back at the C families, where we started
to paint their living room walls. it was a lot of fun! We then went to a
baptism...Elder Foggin and Carbonell have now baptized there hole teaching
pool!! it was awesome..they had a double baptism! And what do you know...i was
asked to play the piano yet again...it went better this time around, I haven't
played for years! I wanted to get a picture of it, but we didn't have time
cause I know no one will believe that I really played! haha!!
Sunday!
Normal sunday, we went to president's fireside with the
Bs...we told brother b that cause he skipped church for golf he should come to
the fireside with us...he thought that was a good idea :) it was good,
president and sister forbes did a good job! my favorite part was when one of
the recent converts that spoke said that every sunday he eats the bread and
drinks the water to stay close to God...I had never really thought about it
like that. By taking the sacrament each week we are cleansed from our sins like
we were at baptism and that is what does keep us "close to God"....so
it was really good!!
So that was my week...now sister pead and I are going to
play some mini-golf!! LATER!!!!

LOVE!

sister C that we were both staying another transfer and she replied that I was getting
