Every day I wake up and start working and things happen that I seriously cannot believe I am so lucky to be here, to be having these experiences. I feel so blessed to be meeting these families at this time, to be learning so much about so many things. This Work is incredible. I think every worthy PERSON should serve a mission. It is so cool and such an amazing blessing.
So this week has been pretty amazing. Like everyday in the mission is. We have been out trying to find new people and it has been hard. So if you know anyone in Oregon Give them a shout out to come find us, we have the Gospel and we want to share it!
So I seriously this week have been like uncontainable in happiness. Its like everyday I wake up and read the scriptures and find something else that just hits me in a way that I want to go out and share it with everyone I see. I love that about the gospel, you can see how it blesses your life and you want to share that. I invite you all, when you have that want or feeling to share it to not be afraid and to share it with whoever you feel needs it. You will change lives forever.
You all should go read Doctrine and Covenants 136:28 it says we can dance and sing :)
So funny story We serve in a lot of trailor parks. We were in a trailer with these 2 investigators, and there 2 dogs and 2 cats. And the lady starts talking about the neighbor up the street who, don't worry when her animals need to be put down.... She puts them in a box and hooks it up to the tailpipe of her car..... I was shocked, and you know what the lady said, thats how its done in Oregon. I was so shocked I couldn't even move....
Also, So last night Sister Losee and I were waiting for an appointment and we were kinda down cause this week hasn't really been up to par you could say so we decided to go tract and just find as many people as possible. So we go out tracting for 20 minutes. Everyone says no, not unusual :) But were walking to our car and this lady is out shoveling dirt in her swiming suit. So we started talking to her and offered to come help her garden this week. She totally took us up on it and we were so excited our work had paid off right? So we call a member who does landscaping to come with us, and they are neighbors. And he totally freaks out, "you sisters cannot go over there that lady is nuts!" All this stuff about drugs, and Jail and then the final thing that made me laugh so hard my companion had to take over the phone call he said " She is so nuts, I watched her light her sofa on fire!!!" I guess when a lady is out digging dirt in a swim suit, later in the evening with a gooseegg on her head the size of a baseball you might be suspicious. And lets be honest, anyone who knows me knows that I would be the person to find that special lady.
So were going back to help her garden :)
This work is amazing! I love seeing these people come closer to Christ. It is amazing to see the change in peoples lives. I LOVE IT SO SO SO SO MUCH!!!
I am trying to think of anything else so awesome that it is email worthy. Oh so we had this kinda Zone Conference with The mission President. Can I just say my Mission President is the most amazing Person. He is so gifter and so Tender Hearted. I love the leadership he gives.
I just really love this mission. It has changed the way I look at life and at people. I wish so badly that I had had some of these qualities before I left but I am thankful I have them now.
The church is true. We have the tools to read and pray about to know for ourselves it is true.
I love that God has given us a path to follow so that we can return to him again. It is so amazing the blessings we get from being obedient. I love this gospel so much. I love everyone so much!!!
Thank you for all your love and support everyone! I am so grateful to have such amazing people in my life.
Pictures will come next week, when I dont forget my camera cord. :)
Peace and Blessings
