| LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THIS PINECONE!!! the elders who first were in our apartment brought it into the house... apparently it was a home to quite a few bugs and they ended up having to get an exterminator..only Elders.... haha |
We didn't do
much to be honest. We had our district meeting later in the day and then we had
to be inside by 7, or in an appointment. Basically they didn’t want us to be
contacting drunken people with explosives. I see no danger in that scenario ;)
We did some service for members and less active members and went to a few
BBQ... I love Americans and their desire to grill hamburgers and hot dogs. I
think it makes them happier! That evening we finished studies and we were
exhausted so we called it an early night and we were in bed by 9:30. Not too
exciting but we did watch our Russian neighbors light sparklers and stuff from
our bedroom windows. Not to exciting but we had a little taste of patriotism so
the day was a success!
I finally was
able to meet Rhonda! She is an investigator in the Soos Creek ward and she is
getting baptized on the 22nd! She has had this day planned forever so we are
super excited for her! She is the only one in her family who has wanted to
learn more about the church. I have a special place in my heart for those who
choose to join this church and are doing it alone. That is something that would
be incredibly hard to do. They have such a strong testimony and I know that
their example to their family will one day pay off! I am so grateful for my
family and the fact that i have been raised in this gospel! It is a true
blessing.
Yesterday,
Sunday, Sister Jay and I were driving to try to contact some people in the ward
and a huge black dog darted into the street. After having a moment of panic I
jumped out of the car and called the dog to me and got it off the main road.
This wonderful creature looked like a Great Dane and a lab mixed together! It
was MASSIVE! We went door to door asking if anyone knew who’s dog it was and as
we went I fell in love with this dog. Sister Jay named it sunshine and both of
us got attached way to quick. It didn’t bark, jump, or lick you! Basically it
was perfect. If the white handbook didn’t say no pets of any kind I would be
the proud new owner of sunshine the lost dog. Anyway, we couldn’t find where he
belonged so we were going to call some members and see if they could take him
in. One of the neighbors came out and said he thought he knew who’s dog it was
so he took him... I might have cried and been in mourning for the rest of the
night because of the loss we had... But don’t worry, I think I have gotten over
it. Sunshine the dog will be missed. ;)

| Take by ward mission leader and sent to mom |
Those are all
the high lights of my week. I am loving the area and the ward members are
awesome! They are supportive and trying their best to do member missionary
work! I know that it is us, as members of the church, who make the biggest
impact for those who choose to look into the Church. I am so grateful that I am
able to be a missionary and help others with their own missionary work! Everyone
can do it. I have heard people say they can’t or they don’t know anyone but we
can all share our testimony of the Restoration of Jesus Christs church! I
invite all of you to pray about a way you personally can share your own
witness!! It won’t just help other but it will help you strengthen your own
testimony!
I love you all
and am so grateful for the love and support you have shown me! Have an amazing
week!!
