Dear Family and Friends,
This week was a really good one! I liked how I wrote last weeks email, because I didn't forget anything, so I am gonna do that again :)
Monday - It was P-day!!! Almost the best day of the week. We were able to go shopping, email the family, and just chill. I was able to paint my nails, which I didn't realize that I was going to miss so much! It was nice to have nails that looked really pretty again :) We were also able to meet with two less actives!!! We met with the Sterlings, which is an amazing family! Sister Sterling is a return missionary, who has just had a hard time getting back into the gospel. I have realized that after missionaries go on missions a lot of them go less active. It is sad, but we are here to help bring them back! We were also able to meet with Sister Ricketson. She is also an amazing sister!! She is a foster mom, and just one of the sweetest people I have met. She cares a lot about the missionaries, which is great! Because it was the day after Mother's Day, we shared with them a couple of Mothers Day videos. It was so good!!!
Tuesday - We had zone conference!! We spent from like 8:15am - 4:15pm in meetings! It was actually really good. We were able to learn more about how to go some great work! There are things that we have to change, but it is all going great! President is actually really proud of us with how we are doing. I have to say, it is nice to hear that we are actually doing okay because there are days, and I am positive there are other missionaries that feel this way, I just feel like I have failed. But, I haven't! Which is so nice to know. :) We were then able to stop by and see the Correnti's. They are an amazing mother/daughter duo! We have really been able to get along with them. It has just been wonderful! I am really falling in love with the members here!!! We are also teaching 12 year old twins! They are members, but we have been asked to see them and help their teacher with the lessons that she teaches them on Sunday. It has been going great. Like most teenagers, they are a little crazy, but it is still going really well!!
Wednesday - We got go teach Kathryn. She is one of our investigators who is slowly progressing in the gospel. She is a sweet lady, and just needs someone to help strengthen her spiritually. It has been good :) We were also able to see Sister Ricketson again. This time we shared with her Matthew chapter 6. It was so good! Matthew 6 talks a lot about being a light and the light that Christ has and how we need to take it and capture it inside of us. It is a way good chapter!!
Thursday - It was a way busy day. We had weekly planning, but weren't able to finish it because we had tons of appointments. It was good though. We met with a recent convert who just moved into our ward. Her name is Michelle, and she is great!! She is like a big ball of fire, and is just so much fun to be around!! I loved getting to know her and helping her. She has planned a really fun FHE activity for tonight, it will be awesome!!! We then picked up a new investigator!!! He is 11, and named Carlos, and has told us that he is getting baptized!!! It is amazing!!! He is really understanding the gospel and is doing great!! We then met with the Correnti's and just love them!!! They are wonderful!!! We also had dinner with the Biesinger's, and they are great! I have loved getting gto know this ward!! There are some amazing members here!!!
Friday - We picked up Crystal again!! We were able to meet with her again, and picked her up as a new investigator!! It was great! There are things that are going to be worked out but we are getting there! It is wonderful!! So, she is a new investigator!! Yay!!! It was great!! We also had dinner with the Richardson's, who are also amazing! Once again, so many wonderful people!!! We got to teach Daniela as well! She is the 18 years old, that we are teaching the lessons to. She is having a hard time, but is way excited about the gospel!! She is amazing!! We met with her and are really enjoying helping her!
Saturday - We were finally able to finish weekly planning! It took us awhile but it was so good! We have been taught a new way to plan and it took a while but things now are going great!! We got to meet with Carlos again, he is getting baptized on June 15!! It is amazing!!! We then met with Sister Sterling again and talked about her mission a lot and how it isn't about numbers when you teach but about the souls that you are saving. It was a really neat experience. Well, while we were there the power flickered. No one thought too much about it. Well, when we got to the apartment the power was out. Only in our part of the grid though. It was just gone. It was crazy!! So, we did our planning by flashlight, which was a miracle that we had. The one I had gotten before I left my mission got lost and I wasn't going to get a new one. But, I did, and was very grateful. I have never needed one before until that night. We got really distracted though... Shadow puppets are tons of fun!!! Just saying :)
Sunday - It was nice :) It seems to be the one day that is the busiest but also really nice to have. We had dinner with one of our ward mission leaders and the other elders. It was fun to get to know them. We have a new elder who was serving in the Ukraine mission, but because of the unrest there he is here with us. It is fun. He is way tall though, which is making me feel very very short. I know that I am not, but it is making me feel that way.
All in all, it was a great week! We are working really well with out Ward Mission Leaders, and just having a great time!! Everything is just going great!! I am feeling great, and just doing amazing!!!
Thank you so much for all of your support! I love you so much!! Have a great week! You are all in my prayers!!!
