How is Everything Going for yall? Staying warm? Or Yall
Still Freezing????
Here is how my week went!!!!!!
On Tuesday we did a lot of driving. It was our zone's
opportunity to go to the temple and it was awesome. I am so grateful for the
temple being in my mission and having the opportunity to go every 6 weeks. I
love the feeling that I get when I go and the peace that comes from attending
the temple. I have come to a better appreciation of the temple! On our way back
we stop at a hair salon where I could get my hair cut for free! It’s nice
having it short haha, but while we were there the person that cuts my hair for
free as missionaries even if he is not a member but his wife is. He was talking
to me about how much he respects us and what we do. He told me that he is
expecting his first child and he wants his child to go on a mission. I think
that is so awesome even though he isn’t part of our faith ( yet ) He loves how
people are dedicated in serving the Lord for 2 years and he wants that for his
children.We come home and changed and went to our Less actives members house
where we put limbs into a fire!!! It was really fun this time and after we went
to Sister Kirby’s where we helped her and her children decorate their Christmas
tree! I understand why I don’t decorate trees I am horrible at it and have no
clue what I am doing!! Hopefully one day I’ll learn.
Wednesday was a full
day of service. We went back to sister Wiatrak's home the whole reason why we
have been going over to her place and clearing all the trees and putting them
in a fire is to be able to create a spot for a cabin to come in for her sister
that she is going to care for! Well we had a member of our branch come to help
us and he has a landscaping business and he brought his John Deere front loader
with a blade on the back to help us get the area cleared out. It was awesome
just seeing trees fall down and seeing him hall butt. At one point he got his
truck stuck in the wet mud and needed some further help getting it out. So he
told me to drive and operate his tractor! IT WAS SO AWESOME. I was having a
blast. But then he cut it short when he got everything taken care of but still I
drove a John Deere tractor. Ah YEAH YA!!
Saturday was another
good day we went to a Christmas concert at our Stake Center. It was a multi
faith concert and It was really good. Hearing Christmas music, and seeing people’s
musical talents It made me think of the Stake Christmas concert we would go to
when Mom and Amanda would sing. Afterwards
was the best part we got a ride from a member and her nonmember dad and we went
through a neighborhood and saw Christmas lights! One house had it going with
music which was really cool to watch.
As I was preparing
district meeting this week. It was about how we can find people through church activities
and while I was studying I found these quotes.
" In Any community of saints we all work to serve each
other in the best way we know how, Our work has a higher purpose because it is
work to bless others and to build the kingdom of God" - Elder L Tom Perry.
"We need your help, brothers and sisters, to support
and assist our missionaries in finding and baptizing many more of our Heavenly
Father’s children. We need you to watch over, protect, and inspire the
missionaries, who are servants of the Lord. If the standard is to be raised, it
is raised for all of us. We must be more faithful. We must be more spiritually
in tune. We must prepare ourselves to assist the missionaries in finding those
of our Heavenly Father’s children who will embrace the message of the
Restoration."- Elder M Russell Ballard
"We are not
asking everyone to do everything. We are simply asking all members to pray,
knowing that if every member, young and old, will reach out to just “one”
between now and Christmas, millions will feel the love of the Lord Jesus
Christ. And what a wonderful gift to the Savior." Elder M Russell Ballard
If we can just help
just one person this year and feel the Christmas spirit, that would be millions
feeling the love of Christ. So remember this year “who can we touch and give
the spirit of Christmas to?”
I love Yall Stay safe
and talk with yall in 3 weeks
