Busy Week

This new transfer had felt so busy! I don't know if it's because I am leading the area that I feel more motivated or what but I feel like Sister Peterson and I are running around like crazy people.


We have been painting our friend Patty's shed the past week and it is so fun! She is the funniest person haha, she is 75, has barbie hair, is deaf in one ear so she yells everything she says, and is the most energetic person you will meet. Last time we went over she had us carry a full size toilet into her room that she is going to use to potty train her cat. To thank us Patty took me and Sister Peterson to Turtle Bay for dinner which is SUPER FANCY AND EXPENSIVE!!


Sister Peterson is teaching this lady in Nigeria that watches over 19 orphans. When we called them the other day it was the lady in the center with all 19 of her kids surrounding her and after we would finish saying something they would blow kisses at us and say "may God bless you more and More and MORE"


Zone Conference was yesterday! We were reading in Alma 26 and this scripture really stood out to me:


22 Yea, he that repenteth and exerciseth faith, and bringeth forth good works, and prayeth continually without ceasing—unto such it is given to know the mysteries of God; yea, unto such it shall be given to reveal things which never have been revealed


I think this scripture is so strong and shows how powerful prayer is and the importance of it. I invite you all to study Alma 26 this week:)


Hope you all have the most amazing week

First Week Of The Last Transfer

Image
This is the first week of my last transfer. I can't believe it! Where did the time go? Sister Drury and I are staying together as Visitors Center Trainers and I could not be more excited. It's going to be a great last 6 weeks. Highs/Lows of the week: ☆We had our first lesson with Kennedy this week and it went so so well. She is such a faithful person. Her boyfriend, who is a member, was telling us that she is always encouraging him to go to church. Kennedy was so cute and took notes throughout the whole lesson so she wouldn't forget anything ☆There was THE BIGGEST SPIDER I have ever seen at the Visitors Center. I am sure it could have eaten me if it was hungry enough. One of the senior Elders was so brave and killed it for us. He is a true life saver ☆We got a shipment in of the Book of Mormon in Navajo. 1st edition! I remember when I was about 9 months into my mission talking to a man who was helping them translate it while he was serving his mission. At that point they we...

Yummiest Taco Soup Ever!

Image
Highs/Lows from the week: ☆I had interviews with President Bassett yesterday and it was great ☆we saw a spider tie up a fly then kill it. Kinda cool but it was inside our house so then we vacuumed them both up. RIP the fly ☆lots of exchanges ☆One of our members girlfriend wants to take the lessons so we are excited to start teaching her ☆everytime we cook we get a million flies in our house. I think there might be a hole in the window screen. ☆we gave a tour to a lady named Elizabeth at the visitors center and at the end of the tour she says "so is there a place I can go to learn more?" Why yes Elizabeth, there is a place you can go to learn more.:) She wasn't interested in staying in contact with us but we gave her a copy of the Book of Mormon and showed her the church's website. She was so interested in learning more! ☆my cousins had me and my companion over for dinner and they made the YUMMIEST taco soup. On Facebook I have been posting a series about different Chr...
