| Not feeling my best | | |
This week I got pretty sick with a sore throat. There is a sister in the
ward that is SO kind- she brought all sorts of nice things today to
help me feel better, even though she herself is recovering from a
surgery. I have been continually reminded this week about how blessed I
am. I keep thinking on it, and I realize that everything I've ever
wanted in a mission has been given to me and more. I love Heavenly
Father and can't express my thanks enough for His amazing grace.
There
have been so many miracles this week. I'm especially grateful for being prompted to go to
one of our far-away towns to see the members and try to find more
people there. We were prompted to return something to an active member,
and her son was there when we came. She had us stay for a little while
and fed us macaroni. When her son left and we were about to
leave, she told us that her son is actually a less active member and
his wife isn't a member at all. It was such a tender mercy to see how
God had led us there that day before he left to go home.
What a great week it's been!

Monday
we went hiking. Tuesday it rained a LOT and we were inspired to visit a
less active sister and bring her cookies. Wednesday we were inspired to
see another sister and show her the "Because He Lives" video, then we got
to serve a sister who's sick by cleaning her WHOLE apartment! Thursday
we almost lost the phone- turns out sister T. hid it in the sun visor... (?),
but that's the day I started getting sick- probably cause it kept
raining and I had to stomp through the water to try and find the phone.
My feet got pretty wet... ha ha, that was dumb. Anyway, Friday we met a
guy named J. and reconnected with a former investigator who is
WONDERFUL! She's from Russia :) She's so cool! She's got a 9
year old son who's interested too! WOO! Saturday we saw that lady in the
far town and I got
really sick so we took it easy for a while. Well, I
took it easy while Sister T. cleaned the apartment. :P blech. Sunday
was wonderful- we had dinner with the W. family who made us Hawaiian
haystacks. They are just SO interesting- they know about a lot of really
neat books. Then we helped the Elder's investigator- a SUPER sweet Hmong lady I might have told you about already. We served her till I was
ragged. Now my throat is pretty much toast :P but I think it's on the tail
end so it's cool :)
