We Saw Big Foot (Cue X-Files Music)

Pretty chill week... literally. Hahaha laugh at my jokes I'm hilarious.


First of all, thank you to all you wonderful diamonds for your emails and love and words of encouragement ❤❤❤❤ I FREAKING LOVE YOU GUYS!!!! (Do you like my dignified missionary language?) 


Anyway, highlights from this week: 


☆ We did service for a less-active member, and our service with him is always crazy. We cut wood and we welded once and we built a concrete counter top mold, and we glued pennies to the counter top and then moved that 300+ lb counter top. I got elbowed in the face in the process, so that was kinda cool. 


☆ We had a lesson with Rob which went really well. Hes making progress! He read a little from the BOM which was literally a miracle. Baby steps. 


☆ We had transfers!! Me and sis C are staying!! And sis Orton (my MTC comp) is pink washing WILLAMINA!!! So that's cool ❤ Shout out to ma girl ❤


Anyway, here's a spiritual thought from church!

 
"Behold all ye that kindle fire, that compass yourselves about with sparks, walk in the light of your fire and in the sparks which ye have kindled. This shall ye have of mine hand—ye shall lie down in sorrow." (2 Ne 7:11)


Someone in Sunday School pointed out that this verse is talking about how people do what they want in life, walking in the light of their own fire. And when they do this, they are doing it alone. They're trying to make it back to God their own way. Not Gods way. I imagined God saying, "Why are you trying to do this by yourself? I've shown you the way, I can help you get there, please just let me." 
Aaaaaannnddddd anyone who knows me knows I'm very stubborn, and independent, and do not like being told what to do. soooo this was kinda like an "ah crap" moment for me, lol. 


Also, my anxiety has gotten SOOOO much better ❤❤❤ I'm actually starting to like my mission! Which is horrible to say, but I'm not gonna lie! missions are rough. Ever since I yielded my will to God (after much wailing and gnashing of teeth) literally EVERY aspect of my life has gotten better. I'm amazed by Gods mercy and goodness. That even after all my fighting and rebelling, He still blesses me! It's very humbling. And I know that's not unique to me. Heavenly Father loves all His children, and He's always eagerly waiting to pour out blessings upon them. 


Anyway, pics!! (Not in order)

Haha yeah I'm getting a little stir-crazy...  And its raining........ Things have been good tho. We started teaching a new lil honey, almost put them on date, and could possibly drop them today, And We have virtual lessons with members every night which cures my depression I love the members here ❤  Not much else has been happening... Ashley is AMAZING and progressing so well!! She just eats up everything we teach her, and is SO excited! I love her, shes also pretty hilarious.  Nothing can stop the work of God!!!  We were supposed to get transfer calls last night.... but that never happened. Idk what's going on... ever, it's fine. I could get yeeted outta B-ville on thursday or I could stay for 2 more months. Or all the missionaries will get sent home. Idk man. We're just all chillin in our apartments doing puzzles 'n stuff.  I have a lot of time to draw tho so that's been nice. (Pics below)  We also spend a lot of time trying to find new people through Fac...

ONE YEAR???????

Image
Well, folks, we made it -- ONE YEAR!!! Honestly never thought it would happen, but God is so good, and He loves us too much to let us fail.  The work is going well, we found out one of the less-active members we're working with may not be a member at all! He cant remember if he actually ever was baptized. So that's kinda exciting, in a weird way. Probably not something I should be excited about  Thoughts: I think sending sis Mecham home was a real eye-opener for me, and kind of a reality check. Like missions don't last forever. Going into a church and having everyone instantly love me because of a tag, will eventually end. And even at Walmart we get stopped every time by people who want to talk to us and thank us for our service -- members and non-members! I'm gonna miss that.  Also, training is wack. Ive never been so aware of my weaknesses. also My child is a bit of a rebel, so I think the Lord is giving me a taste of my own medicine! Lol. BUT I FREAKING LOVE HERA. Sh...
