TRANSFERS
This Wednesday is Transfers....we found out that I will be staying in Aquia for another transfer but Sister Cunningham will be leaving me to be a Sister Training Leaders somewhere else. I'm really going miss her!! It's crazy how close you get to someone when you are with them 24/7 for 12 weeks!! She's become one of my very best friends and it's going to be SO hard when she leaves me! We've gone through a lot together the last 12 weeks and i'm so grateful for the chance we had to be companions!! I'm already praying that one day she will be my Sister Training Leader so we can go on exchanges together hahaš #HAMSISTERSFOREVER
ANGELIQUE'S BAPTISM!
Angelique got baptized on Saturday and wow it was an amazing baptismal service! The spirit was SO SO strong and so many people came to support her!! As I've said before, Angelique has been taught for 5 years and been put on date too many times to count! She's been taught by so many missionaries throughout the years, it's a miracle that she finally made this step! She's an amazing woman and i'm so thankful for the opportunity I have had to be part of her journey! Brother Otis played a trumpet solo at her baptism and one of Angelique's friends played a beautiful piano solo, music always brings the spirit so strong! Angelique was glowing after her baptism and I couldn't stop smiling! Her confirmation was yesterday during Sacrament meeting and it was beautiful! During Testimony meeting so many people got up and talked about Angelique's baptism and the amazing spirit that was there! I love Angelique so much!!
CODY THE CONSTRUCTION WORKER
So this week as we were driving back from tracting we hit some construction and had to wait 15 minutes until we could continue driving on this road. As we were sitting there waiting I felt like we really needed to give one of the construction workers a Book of Mormon, and Sister Cunningham felt the same way. I grabbed a Book of Mormon, stuck our card in the introduction page and jumped out of the car haha! I walked right up to this guy and told him a little bit about what the Book of Mormon is and how it has blessed my life. He was really excited about it and said he would start reading it right then because he gets bored just standing there. I told him our number was on the card and if he wanted us to come teach him more he was welcome to text or call us. When I got back in the car Sister Cunningham said "wow i'm a proud mamma" haha! As we were driving away he texted us!! Sadly he doesn't live in our area so we aren't able to go teach him but we sent some other missionaries over to his house! He seems really interested and ready to hear the message of the gospel! So cool!!!
BUILDING A BED
This week Sister Cunningham and I built a bed haha! It was quite an adventure. An older lady in our ward has been sleeping on a tiny couch for a long time and really needed a bed. Brother Roller asked us if we would go put it together for her and we did pretty good! Her house is TINY, she has tons of cats and a dog and there was cat hair ALL OVER the floor! Trying to put the bed together in that tiny room was a struggle but we did it! I was sneezing up a storm and our bodies paid for it the next day but she was so thankful! It made me so happy that she was so happy!
SPIRITUAL THOUGHT
"When we stagger or stumble, He is there to steady and strengthen us. In the end He is there to save us, and for all this He gave His life. However dim our days may seem, they have been a lot darker for the Savior of the world. As a reminder of those days, Jesus has chosen, even in a resurrected, otherwise perfected body, to retain for the benefit of His disciples the wounds in His hands and in His feet and in His side—signs, if you will, that painful things happen even to the pure and the perfect; signs, if you will, that pain in this world is not evidence that God doesn’t love you; signs, if you will, that problems pass and happiness can be ours. Remind others that it is the wounded Christ who is the Captain of our souls, He who yet bears the scars of our forgiveness, the lesions of His love and humility, the torn flesh of obedience and sacrifice." -Elder Jeffrey R. Holland. My testimony of the Savior has grown so much over the last 3 months. He is ALWAYS there and he wants us to be happy. Every single person has challenges and trials, some are more obvious that others but everyone has hard things. Thankfully we don't have to go through this life alone. We have the Savior on our side every step of the way. He has felt everything we will ever feel and he is always there with his arms of mercy extended. Please let Him help you, don't try to go through trials alone. He is there. He knows you. He trusts you. And He loves you.
Have a great week! I love you all so so much!!
