This week has been good. This week we went on Exchanges with
the STL's. I stayed in my area while sister Gunter went to Fenton. I was
with Sister Heaps and I was super nervous to be in charge of my area
for a whole day. But it went well. There are always miracles that happen
on exchanges. We were able to see one of our previous investigators
that we hadn't seen in about a month. We dropped them because we
couldn't meet with them enough. We went to knock on their door, when at
the exact same time, Adam (our investigator) pulled up in his cop car to
his driveway. At first I was nervous and then I remembered that he
worked as a cop, haha. It was great that we got to see him after all
this time. He says he is interested but we probably won't see him until
after the holidays. Wednesday was Sister Gunter's birthday. She turned
20 years old! Crazy to think that I will be 21 in a month. :)
Appointments have been falling through still so it is a constant
struggle to get our hopes up and spend time preparing lessons when they
cancel. We have still done good work though. It just never seems to show
in our numbers. We were able to help Sister Lindaman who is a member.
She had us clean her house because it is really hard on her health. She
is the sweetest lady and she loves having us over. It feels good to help
those who care about us. We also had a good lesson with one of our
recent converts, Angela. When we first got to the area, she was having a
hard time with coming to church. But this week she came! She gets
really nervous in large crowds so she was struggling with her anxiety
but she made it. I think this is the first time in months that she has
come to church. Sundays are always great to be surrounded by those who
accept you and who welcome you. I love being able to take the sacrament
and focus my week on the Savior.
Love
you all and I hope that you are able to enjoy this Christmas season. I
challenge you to not only make it a memorable Christmas, but make it one
of the best Christmas holidays for someone else. Joy comes as we bring
joy to others.
This was the highlight of our week. Sister Gunter made a huge mess in the kitchen. As you can see, she spilled her noodles over the stove as well as the floor |
