Just
shooting off pictures from this last week, I'll send details tomorrow. Today's
has been the craziest P-day...as in, we don't even have one haha we've got a
bunch of lessons! It's a blessing though, definitely can't complain. We're
seeing the biggest miracles!!
Tomorrow brings
transfers, and Sister Goettsche is leaving me!! ): I'm super sad about it.
Anxious to see what God has in store for me next, who my companion will be, and
what new ways I can continue to learn and grow! The good news about me not
having time today is that we will make up some P-day time tomorrow, and you
don't have to wait a full week to hear who my comp is! (I can almost picture
how happy my mom is at hearing that (; )
Love you all. More
tomorrow.

Old
picture from our flour fight! The best. Notice how a full bag of flour is
getting dumped on me, and how Sister Goettsche is about to get hit in the face
haha. We took the brunt of everything that day...

Taking the new sisters out contacting this morning!
What
a great week (:
We had a fantastic
Sister Training Leader meeting this week. Something we talked a lot about was
really developing unconditional love like the Savior. None of us deserve the
Savior's love, yet He freely took our sins knowing it would be immensely
difficult for Him. It's so important that we learn to represent Christ through
our own 'Gardens of Gethsemane.' As we put on the altar of sacrifice our pride
and pain, we can love people unconditionally. We can truly love people for who
they are, not what they did--looking past their actions.
We've been teaching a
bunch. Also working on creating some maps to organize our area better! We
realized that the spirit has a really difficult time guiding us when we have no
idea where we are or who's in the area haha so now we are really cracking down
on organizing! It'll help lots to be able to be guided more where we need to
be.
We went on exchanges
this week and had a super revelatory experience. Learned tons! It's amazing how
God has placed experiences in my life and taught me the things I need to know,
so that on exchanges He can draw from them to guide me in helping the sisters.
I really feel the greatest blessing is being an instrument in God's hands.
There's nothing like walking away from a lesson, exchange, contact, etc.
knowing that God was purely speaking through me. Not even remembering what I
said, but knowing that it was what the person needed and the spirit was doing
the talking.
There's much I could
say, but it is harder than I thought to write out everything I'm experiencing
and learning on my mission! God is way too good to me--and to each of us. He is
always running to our aid. We don't have to cross the finish line to receive
blessings from God. All He wants is for us to reach out to Him. I love this work
with my whole heart! This gospel has made me happier than I ever imagined.
Thank you for all you
do!
