So
seriously what a week!!!!! So one of the sisters in the mission who is
also a sister training leader (Sister Leondhart) only had a week left of
her mission. And me and her have bonded very much on the mission. She
grew up very similar with a mom with alot of problems and she struggled
with self confidence and other things so i asked her how she has grown
since the begging of her mission and how she has learned to forgive her
mom. She told me and it amazed me. The next day she asked if it would be
ok to do exchanges again. We said yes. We first started out with a less
active named Rebecca. Rebecca has been struggeling alot lately and when
we came in we could tell something was wrong. So we asked her and she
said that everything was horrible. We talked and she said that shes been
having probleems forigivng people including her mom. So we both talked
about our experiences with our moms and we both felt inspired to ask her
if she needed a preisthood blessing she said yes. So we told her we
would get that arranged. Afterwards we went out to fro yo and talked
about our past and about how she forgave her mom and she encouraged me
to do the same. She gave me a picture of jesus holding a little girl and
i cried. We then afterwards tried a few people but one we stopped by
named Rose. Rose is a potential investigator. We went by and she told us
that she had a heart attack but that she was ok. We talked to her and
said a prayer with her and she asked us to come back. It was awesome.
The next day was going fine but after our dinner appointment when we
went to our bikes my bike was still there and my companions bike was
GONE!!! Someone stole her bike. I called our zone leaders to ask what to
do and a cop pulled over to ask if we were ok. he said that there was
nothing he could do and left. As we were walking home the primary
president saw us and picked us up and got us home. The next day some
members bought my companion a new bike!!! What amazing members :). The
rest of the week was pretty rough. I struggled alot with anxiety and
depression and had alot of stomach issues along with it so for a few
days the work was really slow due to that reason. Monday night was
awesome though. We taught an investigator named Garret the first vision
and the book of mormon. When we told him the 1st vision he freaked
out!!! He thought it was amazing and he said he felt amazing when he
heard the story. He said he wanted to refer all his friends and wanted
his wife to hear it. It was amazing!!!!We also saw 2 less actives that
are seriously impossible to get ahold of. it was awesome then we tried
some investigators named mary and paula but right when we got there they
were very drunk. So we left right then. So then this morning we went to
Rebeccas house and again she looked upset but even worst. so we tried
to talk to her but she wouldnt listen. So we said a prayer with her but
afterwards she kept saying that its not worth us being here and that she
diddnt want any human contact at all. So my companion asked her if she
wanted us to leave and she told us yes. So we got up and as we were
leaving she told us she was taking her reocrds out of the church :(.
Were both really bummed but we know theres nothing else we can do. So
that was my week. I love you all and I have one more year to do the
lords work crazy how time goes :/ looove you all
