Hello everyone!
This week has been one crazy ride. Here's the breakdown:
Monday:
We went fishing in a member's pond...in front of their house...because
most people have ponds, pools, and music rooms correct? I caught a total
of 6 fish and we just won't mention the size.
Tuesday: Sister Tenny and I were invited to the mission
home to attend the Zone Leader Conference. Whilst there, they announced
that all the sisters there (2 from each zone) were Sister Training
Leaders for their zone. WHAT?!?! Ok, I knew sister leadership positions
were coming and that that was maybe a possibility for me in the future,
but not now when I'm not even done with the 12-week-training program! I
have no idea what the Lord has in store for me, but I know that I will
be relying completely on Him. On top of that, a reporter for The
Tennessean (a statewide newspaper) came to do an article on the new
influx and age change for the sister missionaries. Me, being of
course the only 20 yr old in the midst of all the other seasoned
sisters, was picked out to be interviewed. I just had to put on a good
face for the church...no pressure or anything. I have no idea if I will
be quoted or not, but the first person to find out wins a high-five.
Wednesday: We had zone meeting, which as a STL, I
received the privilege to train all the other missionaries in our zone.
The coolest part was that we held the mtg in the oldest LDS church bldg.
It was built in 1909 and is located in "the mountains" in Altamont.
Thursday: Another drive down to Nashville for a
training mtg. I was able to see my MTC zone missionaries and Nashville
Tribute Band performed for us. Goodness I just love their music! Also we
had a lady named Sister Flake speak to us about women and the
priesthood power. It was a powerful and deep discussion, which all
female members should hear and strive to understand.
Friday and Saturday: Contacting our gazillion referrals.
Sunday: Skype with the family! My favorite part was the biggest belly contest. Evan wins.
And
now today I will be going back down to Nashville to do some cultural
activities and sing "The National Anthem" with a group of missionaries
at a baseball game. I think the team is called the Nashville Sounds or
something like that. Anyways, more of that next week. Also I'm going to
be 21 this week (again, WHAT?!) and by this time next week I should know
if I'm staying or going.
I don't know if my breath will ever be caught, but I love my missionary life!
Continuing
on with last week's commitment, this week WILL YOU read Lesson 2 :The
Plan of Salvation in PMG? I love telling investigators that it is also
called The Plan of Happiness! How much joy does it bring to you to have
that knowledge? How has the knowledge affected the way that you live
this life?
I love you all and thank you for your prayers, emails, and support!
Please
pray for the people here in Tullahoma who have been through so much and
need their hearts to be prepared to receive the gospel.
Much love,
Sister Neener (:
