Dear Family and other affiliated loved ones:
I broke
another microwave. No joke. I wanted to be lazy and I wanted a burrito
so i stuck in a burrito and 30 seconds into cooking.... there was a pop
and the microwave was no more. Sad day. Now we have no microwave.
Teaches me to be lazy.
So this week was crazy! Monday
after P-Day was over we drove to Eugene. On Tuesday I was at a meeting
for the mission leadership and my companion was working in Eugene with
another sister. Our meeting was awesome. We did a service project at a
girls camp and because of how it was set up we ended up staying in our
service clothes all meeting. Highlight! We did a confidence course. It
was great. I love learning by the spirit because it teaches us truth and
'brings all things to our remembrance.' Wednesday I was on an exchange
in Coos Bay. It was fantastic. We talked to so many people. The sister I
was with is one of those perpetually happy people. I asked what made
her happy and she replied that it was talking with others. It is so
true. Every time we get to share the gospel with someone we are happier.
That is one of the reasons why missionary work is so great, because we
are constantly talking to others about Christ, about the atonement,
about the restoration. It's amazing! You should try it. Set a goal to
talk to at least one new person about the gospel today. God will bless
you with an opportunity. It does not have to be a non member, it does
not even need to be someone you don't know, just someone who needs it
today.
Thursday, blessed Thursday! I got to be in my area for
Thursday and Friday! We got some good contacting in and talking to
people. I love people! They are the whole reason for being here. God's
purpose is to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man. He
wants us to be happy and we get to help in that desire. Its amazing!
Friday we had zone conference. Great to be with and learn with those
great soldiers of God.
Saturday I was on another exchange in Bandon. Very fun but
mosquito filled. We talked to a man who had recently been baptized who
shared how his meeting the missionaries was an answer to a 30 year old
prayer. It was very inspriational to hear him share his testimony. Plus
he gave me smoked salmon which is super tasty. Yes. I now eat fish.
I love you all.
