"Selfie because we forgot to take photos during the week and you wanted to see my face"
Hello
Friends and Family and Happy Mission Monday! I hope you all have had a great
week. Sister Mann and I have been enjoying this autumn weather with the leaves
changing. We have been collecting leaves and keeping them flat in a book. What
was cool was during zone interviews during the meeting Sister Blair had her own
collection of leaves and used them as an analogy for our change during the
mission. We all change but we don't all change into the same thing nor do we
change at the same pace. We are all beautiful because we chose to change. Take those
thoughts and ponder them in your mind and expound on them in regards to the
Plan of Salvation and the Savior's Atonement. The mission is cool stuff!
Before I get into the cool
missionary moments this week, a "fun" experience Sister Mann and I
had last night was ten minutes before bed we were quietly getting ready when we
hear this relatively loud buzzing and then it suddenly stop. We look up and
there is this huge gross beetle crawling around our bathroom door frame and we
had a minor freak out followed by catching the unwanted visitor in a tissue, running
down the stairs in our slippers, throwing him (tissue and all) out the front
door, and proceeding to take five minutes to make sure all the window were
ENTIRELY closed. Luckily earlier in the day the landlord had mentioned the
window that had our AC unit might not have been entirely shut so after that
critter made himself welcome we made sure those windows were SHUT. We also had
to squish two spiders during the bug eviction process but I digress. This has
been story time with the awko taco Saco sisters.
We had a pretty good week
with being able catch people which you think wouldn't be that difficult.
Sometimes it is but not this week. We had appointments set with the mom I
shared that I found by offering her son a sticker but they fell through either
on her or our ends which was sad. We weren't able to meet with Dave but we are
still in contact with him! And another investigator who had a baptismal date
was supposed to come to church yesterday because we were having a linger longer
after for Ward Conference but he didn't come. Oh well, there is always next
week. We did have a really solid lesson with him where we asked what he
expected to get out of the rest of the lessons and he testified that everything
we have taught him has just felt right and that God hasn't told him it is
wrong. So he will be baptized, we just need to get his family to join him!
One cool way we caught
someone was we went by a less active's to see if she was home and she wasn't...
but she pulled up when we turned around to leave and we were able to help her
bring in groceries. Those little moments when you realize you are being truly
led by the spirit always makes me happy. Besides that things have been a little
more slow with the work this week but that is ok because the people we are working
with are really great. I am just always in awe to have found so many people
just in the last two transfers here in actual Saco and It’s all thanks to my
awesome companion who has taught me so much about talking to everyone about the
restored gospel. Ten points to Sister Mann!
Yesterday was Ward
Conference for the Saco ward and Sister Mann had the cool opportunity to see
some members from the Farmingdale ward. We also said our final goodbyes to
Buffles (107-year old member) and her daughter before they head down to Florida
for the winter. And had scripture hero time in primary again! Since the month's
theme for primary was prayer we acted out some favorite scenes of prayer. The junior
primary made some pretty valiant guesses at all the heroes being Nephi. Not a
bad guess in all honesty but they really excited when I finally did act out
Nephi. Sister Mann got to be her hero, Captian Moroni. When we got to hang out
with the adults we focused a lot on the Sabbath day and why it's important. I really
liked the discussion of the importance of the Sabbath but, again, we got to
hang out with the primary.
Besides that I truly have no
idea what this next week will bring with transfers. I really don't want it to
be my last transfer in Saco or with Sister Mann but we will see. I hope you all
have a good week and stay safe!
Love,
Sister
