Hi family!
It is
going to be a busy and exhausting and happy transfer! We have been
talking to everyone! With that comes a lot of rejection and also a lot
of miracles! Missionary work is just the best thing ever. I highly
recommend it.
So it started with a long transfer meeting. We had around 30
missionaries come in! The sad part was, of course, the departing
missionaries. Most of them were the hermanas who came out with me. If
feels like only a transfer ago when we were the group of 30 missionaries
who came in exhausted and tired. Welcome to missionary life!
I feel so blessed to be able to stay in the Stones River area!
I absolutely love the members here (probably more than they love me
haha). Sister West is awesome. She lives up to every expectation I have
of her and more. As soon as she knows enough people I just might sit
back and relax....just kidding! Sprint to the end!
I think one of my favorite moments this week was teaching a
lady in her 20's. She had this two year old daughter running around and
out of the blue she just starts nursing the toddler with no blanket or
anything! I'm sure all of my sisters are just relishing in how
uncomfortable I was.The best part of it was that despite all of that,
the Spirit was super strong in her home and we set a baptismal date with
her. Spiritual and awkward all at the same time.
Other awesome moments included impromptu church tours,
revelatory personal studies that led to incredible lessons, and finding
lost sheep (figuratively, not literally). Love the mission!
I
had fun studying Chapter 7 in PMG. Most appreciated is how it forces
you to apply it because a large percentage of God's children are not
learning a language to teach the gospel. I have been debating what
language to study in college and I love the message that was highlighted
for me as I studied this chapter: the most important language is the
language of the Spirit. How imperative is it that we communicate with
the Spirit? Personal revelation is required for our salvation!! Neat
stuff.
"Using Time Wisely" is up next! WILL YOU use your time wisely
by improving your language studies with the Spirit? Best language to
learn right there.
I pray for you as you pray for me! Love you!
Love Sister Neener (:
