“It feels like the Savior is hugging
me!”
Can I just say
how grateful I am to be serving here in the most beautiful mission, in the most
beautiful area, with the most beautiful people, the most beautiful mission
President and Wife, and with the best companion ever! I am so humbled as I look
around at Heavenly Father's beautiful creations! I love the springtime with the
renewal of all the plants, and the sunshine! Oh, the beautiful sunshine that we
have seen the past week reminds me of my Savior and Redeemer. The light and the
warmth that the sun gives us aren’t even comparable to the light and the warmth
that “The Son” gives to us. I have been able to see the miraculous change in
not only myself, but in my investigators, recent converts, and members as we
have all been coming closer to The Son this past week. I feel as though
everyone has been spiritually nourished this past week. Hearing from our beloved prophet and his
apostles, there is a literal glow that you can see and feel when someone has
been inspired and uplifted. This week there have been many tender mercies to me,
the number one tender mercy being the spring sun. As I mentioned, the sun
reminds me of “The Son.” When I feel discouraged and I am doubting my ability
to fulfill this calling, I notice the warm sunshine and it feels like the
Savior is hugging me and saying it's okay, and that I can do it. I know that I
am called here to do the Savior's work. As
I strive to humble myself I know that I can help Him with the sacred work here
in MMM.

Here is this week’s run down:
 |
| "Funny Faces" |
Monday: We saw
Desirae and her crew. They are doing really good. I have seen a change in them
since I first got here. Desirae said she wants to work towards the temple, so
we are going to help her prepare to go. We sang some fun songs with the kids
and then played games with them.

| "With Desirae's kiddos" |
Tuesday: We had
an early appointment at 7:30 am with Hope. Her other sisters leave for school
around this time so they aren't there to bug her. It is super early for a
lesson but it seems to work out well for Hope. We taught her about the Word of
Wisdom. Our District Leader wants to come to one of our lessons with her, so we
actually set up another one for that day. So, Hope got two in one day! We also
taught Shania and Faith. Faith actually listened during this lesson because we
tried to make it more fun for her. We all drew the first vision and
then had her explain what happened. It was fun to see all the pictures at the
end.

"Service
Project organizing the
American Girl house dolls, & clothes so fun!!!! |
Wednesday: We helped
Sister Edgington with some service. We helped her organize her
daughters' dollhouse. We organized all the “American Girl” doll clothes
and accessories. We had a fun time in the little doll house. It is in the
space under the stairs so it is a perfect little dollhouse. They had it set up
really cute in there. They had miniature furniture and mini pictures on the
wall. It brought us back to our childhood days, so we enjoyed ourselves.

Thursday: We
had our first district meeting since the transfer. It was a good training that
we received. We talked about our potential, our calling as a missionary and how
we can use that to find people. We are representatives of Jesus Christ so
we shouldn't be afraid to talk to people and to be bold with them; especially
in finding.
We had a meeting with
the bishop after our district meeting like we always do. That night we had a
lesson with Annika. Summer and the Bloomington Elders (our district leader)
came with us to this lesson. We usually sit on Annika's bed for the
lessons because there isn't anywhere else to sit. The Elders didn't want
to sit on her bed but we told them just to sit on it. They were acting a little
awkward. Haha! Oh, and to make it even more awkward, we taught the law of
chastity. The lesson went well. Annika was a little weirded out, but other
than that it was good.

| "Sister Hunt in Doll house!" |
That night
we also saw a less-active couple, the Walkers. They are a cute old black
couple. Summer also went with us to see them. Ed was having a hard time
with his TV and thought it was broken. We tried to tell him he needed new
batteries in his remote but he said he just put them in there. It was
pretty funny to see my companion and him go back and forth about the
remote. It was the remote that was the problem so we got it fixed.
Friday: We had
a pass off lesson with a lady named Maria with the Elders. She has been one of
their investigators. This lesson was just to transition from them teaching her
to us teaching her. The lesson went well. We talked about general conference
and showed her the new Easter video. The Elders then came with us to Desirae's
house to bless her home. They say they see evil spirits so the Elders
helped with that. I guess they had their home blessed before and the kids
were really crazy. They were much better this time and were quiet the
whole time during the prayer. They really are improving in their behavior.
Saturday: We
stopped by a referral we received and set up a return appointment with him. His
name is Win Udomlarp. He is about 16
years old. We also helped Sister Edgington again with some cleaning in her
house. That night we saw Summer and had a lesson with her.
We
really have been crazy busy!!!!

Tuesday April 14: Today was a really busy day. We had to go to the apartment to help the office bring another bed into the apartment and to make room for our new comp! We went teaching with Elder Stacey to Annika's lesson. He is the bomb.com! We talked about keeping the Sabbath Day holy and also his new calling as an Area Seventy. Read Luke 10! At least I think that is where it was...anyways it went really well!
