My companion is already done with her email so this will be a short one!
6 awesome things about this week:
1.
My birthday!! Running, favorites for breakfast, fun packages, members
feeding us, seeing some of my favorite investigators, and sharing my
birthday with Gracy (see next bullet point for more of a story). It was
just a perfect missionary birthday!
2. Sister Doak- She is one of my favorite people
ever! She is obsessed with purple and her baby Gracy (the word "cat" is a
swear word in their home). Gracy will not let anyone pet her let alone
hold her. So my b-day wish was to pet her. Sister Doak insisted that I
hold Gracy as she forced the hissing cat into my lap. It was quite
scary. But it was successful! And I only have a few battle wounds.
3. I rode a bike for the first time on my mission!
Let me tell you, I never struggled with modesty on the mission as much
as I did on that bike. But it was so much fun. We had some rides cancel
on us so we had to speed pedal to some appointments leaving me with some
exhausted legs. I loved it.
4. The Meredith's are some of my favorite people.
They fed us this week so I got to know Mama Mary even better as we
reminisced about Malta. We are also teaching her grandson who is
preparing for baptism in a couple of months. I love them!!!
5. It seems like everyone and their dog had stake
conference this week. We did as well. They were talking about technology
and how its sole purpose is to help hasten the work. Someone quoted
Brigham Young who said that there would be time-saving inventions so
that we could have more time to go to the temple!!! Isn't that
awesome?!
6. Marc is preparing for baptism on Saturday!! He is doing great!
The area is great and I am loving it! We are going on exchanges like crazy.
As
I read Lesson 3 in PMG, I thought about how the gospel is all about
change and progress. We have to learn to love, embrace, and seek change
and progress in order to have the most happiness. I have lived the
gospel more fully here on my mission than any other time in my life.
WILL YOU share your favorite Book of Mormon scripture with someone?
Love Sister Neener (:
