HOWDY YALLL!!!! Happy late turkey day! Love ya'll sooo much and I'm so grateful for all of you and the influence you've had on my life! This week was crazy haha!
Monday: PDAYYYY!! We went and did hot chocolate and card games at the Moffatts, it was a party! Then we had dinner with a member and it was soo good! Then we went to fhe and we were a tad bit late haha but all the ysa gave us a standing ovation when we came in! It was way cool haha
Tuesday: UNPLANNED OPPORTUNITIES! Our district set a goal this week to hand out 75 boms! So me and sister Ritchie decided we would try to hand out 3- 5 per day! We didn't have tons of time to go finding and we were kinda sad but then we just decided we would do all our stuff out in public and put ourselves in situations where we could share the gospel with people! We were able to talk to a couple people at the library, we decided to start paying inside when we get gas so we can talk to the workers and we had some cool experiences with that!
Wednesday: DISTRICT COUNCIL! We talked about teaching with the spirit and how vital it is! Here some people will just try to bash you, really the only thing you can do is bear your testimony and dip. Because if there's no contention the spirit is not there so there's no point in trying to teach them if they aren't willing to actually listen. We had lots of member calls and they were way good! Then we had Bible study with the Moffatts, it was so fun!
Thursday: THANKSGIVING!! So fun!!! We got to talk to our family's and do lots of fun stuff for Thanksgiving! We went and volunteered at the homeless shelter and it was so good! These people are so cool! You can never judge someone by how they look. Some of the kindest people i've every met live there! Then we had dinner with a member, it was so good! We did a spiritual thought after and for part of it we watched the because of him video. One of the kids parents was reading the words to one of the little kids and at he goes "wow Jesus really did all that for us?" The spirit was so strong!
Friday: MIRACLES! We saw so many miracles on Friday!! Finding in the ysa is pretty brutal haha! No one shows up to their appointments or everyone straight up ghosts you. We've been doing more member work though and it's finally starting to get going! Ahh I love our members they are soo cool! These people drive over an hour for church and all the activities!!! They are so devoted and are huge examples to me! One miracle from Friday is we were out finding at Walmart and we were getting discouraged because there were 0 ysa. Me and sis Ritchie without knowing it both said a silent prayer at the same time and when we turned the corner we saw a worker and felt like we needed to talk to him. Turns out he's roommates with one of our friends who's on date! He was way interested and were hopefully meeting with him this week!
Saturday: EXCHANGES! I got to be comps with Sister Jillian for the day, it was so fun!! I had a full circle moment because my 1st ever exchange was w/ her! Crazy how much time flies haha! We met some cool people and visited an inactive. Then we went to the Hermana's baptism, it was soo cool! The spirit was super strong! Then we had a couple lessons thats went way good!
Sunday: soo good! Also very interesting lol! As you can probably guess by the title I got proposed to... by a 60/70 yr old (not even sure) via letter saying he had a dream about us and he said he thought it meant we were supposed to get married... he tossed me the letter and said let me know SOON and dipped. let me tell you I was fighting demons trying not to cry laughing during the rest of sacrament meeting! The joys of being a sister missionary! The rest of church was BOMB though!
Challenge: share your testimony with someone this week! It can be super simple and a lot easier than we think! Pray for opportunities to share and then act when those opportunities come! As you're talking to people things will come to mind that you can tie into the gospel! Even if its just telling people that God loves them! Doing this will build your testimony so much! "A testimony is better built on the feet bearing it rather than on the knees praying for it"
