So one more week till I have
completed 6 months of the mission!!! its crazy!!!!!!!!!!! I only have a
year left and then im a normal person lol well this week has been good.
We
saw Debra one last time before she moved. We taught her the atonement
and she cried the whole time. Im so sad that she moved out of my area
but she is and will be my first baptism and ill always be known as her
missionary so it will all be ok.
Tuesday-
pretty much all our appointments canceled :( but we did see 2 ladies
named Mary and paula. Their sisters with a really bad alcohol and
smoking problem so we went by and visited them and they were great. We
are working to help them stop smoking,
Wednesday-
We saw 3 less actives. The first was one named Jimmy. Jimmy has been
less active for almost 20 years and was founded by other missionaries.
He doesn't talk much but the spirit is always so strong when we are
there and he gives very powerful prayers. We then saw another less
active named silvia she smokes and just recently recovered from
cancer. Shes a bit crazy but we enjoy teaching her. Then we saw another
named Sister Puma shes way sweet she says that we are like
granddaughters to her :)
Thursday-
We saw a less active named Virginia. her grandson who was interested
was there and he listened very well. We also had interviews with my
mission president. It went really well. I was very open to him about
things and he told me something that really hit me. He said he
understood what I went through with my mom was really tough but he said
he truly felt that what I wen through prepared me for this mission so
that I can understand what people go through and tell them how the
gospel has helped me. It didn't make too much sense to me till the next
day.
Friday-
as we were teaching I was feeling anxiety again :( and so I told my
companion about it and told her how frustrated I was that I have an
anxiety disorder and that I didn't get the childhood I should have. She
told me to pray and pour my heart to heavenly father so I did. and
afterwards we went to an appointment with some recent converts. Only mom
and daughter were there but as we were talking the daughter Stevie Ray
who is about 16 and seriously is the prettiest girl ever but her mom
told us that she struggled with test anxiety and bullies. And I told
them of my experiences growing up and everything. And as we talked the
mom told me that I was an answer to their prayers and I told them the
same thing. Ive become really close to them since that point.
Saturday-
due to my anxiety my companion and I got priesthood blessings from our
zone leaders. They were amazing the one thing that stood out to me is
that ill be able to conquer my anxiety and also that I should know that
my family and friends are praying for me. And that warmed my heart to
know that you all are praying for me no matter what. Also we got a new
investigator named Tali. Shes 9 and due to her and her grandma not
coming to church she didn't get baptized in time so we are teaching her
Sunday-
the main thing of the day was splits with some girls in the pmg class
so I took 2 girls tracting and it actually wasn't too bad. some guy gave
us candy, 3 people let us bear our testimony on jesus Christ and we got
some pass along cards passed to people. so not too bad.
Well I hope all is well and love you all
