Dear Everyone...
THIS IS SOOOOO WEIRD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm at my 11 month mark
today!!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That means that next month will be my year
mark... That's jacked..... ugh..... I think I'll not focus on that and
just enjoy the happy world known as the mission field. No worries other
than helping people learn about God. I like this world... A LOT... It's
stressful but not in a bad way. I love being a missionary....
So... This week has been pretty tame... With my companion being gimped
and all... There's not much we can do... What we HAVE been doing is
getting to know the members though. I guess the Sisters that have been
in this area previously haven't been top quality, therefore the members
seem to trust the Elders more than us... So we're trying to even out the
scales and get into the members homes and let them know that we're
people, but that we're serious about doing missionary work. So we're
preparing lessons to teach them from Preach My Gospel, and so far that's
working out pretty well... We're gonna be able to get to all the members
in our area this week and next, so that will help me out with knowing
the members, but it will also help the rate of member missionary work go
up too. I'm pretty sure that as we share our testimonies of how
incredible the gospel is, that it ignites something within them that
reminds them that sharing the gospel is important. So even though what
we're doing isn't bringing immediate results, in time, the results will
be incredible. Member missionary work is being sooooo stressed
throughout the whole Church because it's important to the Prophet. So
we're trying to get that message across and also we're mending the
Sister's reputation a bit. So... This is quite the project that we have
going on, but it's keeping our minds on top of things, and we're
constantly thinking about how we can help the members here gain their
own testimony of their ability to be missionaries as well..
whew... that was kinda long.... haha... but I'm passionate about it!!!!
MEMBERS ARE SOOOO IMPORTANT TO EVERYTHING MISSIONARIES
DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyways.... We got the Conference Ensign yesterday.. So when I was
looking through it, I stopped on page 82 and I was like... wait a
second..... I KNOW HER!!!!! hahaha... It's totally a temple square
missionary from Edmonton. I sang in Institute Choir with her once, and I
saw her on Temple Square the day before I went to the MTC. So that was
pretty cool. Her name is Catherine Kruger. She's pretty cool. So that
was exciting...
We're getting fed a lot here.... It's pretty rediculous... The people
here like to serve us, and I think they think it's a missionary trait
where they have bottomless stomachs.... Well... I dont... haha.. So
trying to eat less... Not going so well for me... Oh man... No wonder
why Clarke came back fat... haha...
Anywho... I was reading about the Calgary temple in the Ensign, and how
it was going to be built on property right by a building on the
northwest side of town... I cant figure out if that's the West Stake
center or not... So... I'm just curious as to where it's gonna be.
Because I'm slightly excited for it... :)
So that's about all for today. I love y'all sooooo much. Thank you for
all your prayers and love. The church is STILL true. Dont worry!!!
haha...
