Erin is still on date for August 23! Keep her in your prayers that she'll be able to make that day!
Patty is almost done the Book of Mormon! Actually she probably is by now! She is reading up a storm but still feels like she hasn't gotten an answer to her prayers about a date for baptism.
Sister Rodriguez got sick this week...I got to spend a lot of time indoors reading and organizing! woot! In all my time inside I got to read a lot of the book of Mormon. I definitely gained a greater respect for the sons of Mosiah. They are such great missionaries who gave so much of themselves to the Lord. That's what I am really trying to work on, giving my will to God!
We had an awesome ward party at the McGuires. They have their own personal lake! Sadly we didn't have anyone come but the Elders had 3 non member families there! Woot!
Jasmine is on date for baptism! She's 21, has a one year old baby Alice, and a member husband named Beaux. She really wants to know if the church is true. She accepted September 13 as the date to work towards. I felt the spirit so powerfully in our lesson. I love asking inspired questions that really help people think about who they truly are.
The reason why we had the spirit so strongly at Jasmine's was before we had a good 2 hour long comp inventory! Communication is key. I love working through my weaknesses with someone there to help me!
I went on exchanges with the marvelous Hermana Stoeltzing this past week! She is incredible. Sister Tew was her trainer as well. The best part is she a bomb beat boxer so I would just yell out, "give me a beat!" and then I could sing to my hearts desire (only hymns and primary songs of course). I decided that is now a requirement for my future husband. We had a spirit-filled day and did finding and teaching. One thing I love about her is how she is so real. She recognizes her weaknesses and talks about them to get through them. Plus she knows what she wants for her future. And as Pres Murdock always says,"We get what we want!"
I am so thankful for a loving Saviour who is there for me every single day. I felt the spirit so powerfully in sacrament meeting testify of His love. Go read the third verse of hymn 86. It's incredible. Think about it. The gospel of Jesus Christ is the most real thing that we have on the Earth, which is crazy because He is not even someone that we can see. I know that He is real and that the way we can all feel that is by living the gospel of Christ, by trying to do what is right and repenting when we make mistakes.
Have the best week ever!
I LOVE MY MISSION.
Sisters Conference
we are teaching a blind lady who can really really talk. So sometimes when I get bored I do this to my hair and glasses in the middle of the lesson. Sis Rod then has the task of controlling her laughter hahaha. I'm really working on that whole reverence and respect thing.
