Hey everybody!
This has been a pretty good week. =]
Tuesday Feb 24- So, I really wasn't expecting this day to be that awesome because it's just not a good day for me. BUT it was great!! We ended up having lessons with potential investigators and it was a really fulfilling day! We were finding and found an old potential and we had a lesson with him right in the lobby. =] And he became a new investigator too! We also saw Tracy today and we are working to help her get involved in family history at the church. And then we had a mini lesson with someone we met through trying to find a less active on the branch list. He is a sweetheart! He lives with his 80 yr old mom and is so nice to her. And he has some good questions. =] Also! We had a lesson with Annie and had Sister Rushton there for it. It was great! And after we got Sister Morrison a couple slices of cheesecake and wrote her a card and took them to her because today was her birthday. =] To be honest, we almost forgot to go, but I'm so glad we didn't! She was really looking forward to seeing us!! It was just a great day. =]
Wednesday Feb 25- We had district meeting in New Glasgow and the Zone Leaders came to our district meeting. We were all kind of worried to have the Zone Leaders there because it's kind of intimidating, but they were pretty cool. =] After that we did service at one of the nursing homes and we took music and instruments and at the end of bingo we played music for them. I played the violin and Sis J played piano. =] I love that. =]
Today it ended up storming so we had to cancel our appointments that we had in Pictou.
Plus, the STLs were on their way up to Sidney but because of the storm they stayed here in New Glasgow with us for the night. And the Mackinnons gave us a coupon for Swiss Chalet, so we went there for dinner. =]
Bad news though....Heidi texted us and told us that she doesn't want to be baptized anymore. =/ She dropped that bomb at 10:30pm. =/
Thrusday Feb 26-Today we really didn't go out much because Sister Johnson caught a cold and so she stayed in bed and I made lots and lots of calls. (My head hurt.) And then for dinner we went to the Macdonald's house. Aaaanndd then we went back home. Yaaayy sickness. -_-
Friday Feb 27-We did all of our weekly planning for the day. Then we went out looking for some less active members that we could possibly teach. But then Sister Johnson wasn't feeling well after a bit, so we stayed in for the last couple of hours. But on a good note, I made salmon and potatoes today! It was sooo good. =]
Saturday Feb 28- Well, February doesn't have a 30th, so today it being counted at my 7th month mark. WOO! Seven months! hahaha today we were able to find ALL day. No joke. We had 7 hours of finding for the day. Yeeaaah. hahaha lots and lots of finding. There was one man that we met that really pulled at my heart strings. He didn't have much a belief in God because he had issues with all of the bad in the world and also because he lost a wife to cancer. I asked him if he had ever experimented to know if God was there. He said yes. I asked what happened. He said, "She died."
.....I had no idea how to respond to that. =/ Because he's right! There is SO much bad in the world! And bad things do happen! But it's hard to explain to people that just because there is a God that it doesn't mean He will step in and stop all bad. We all have agency, and we are all mortal. As well, Satan is real. Just as real as God is. =/ I felt bad for the guy. I hope he at least felt the Spirit we bring.
Sunday Mar 1- Church was good. It went by normally. I'm pretty sure I caught the cold that Sister Johnson has. -_- So I was sniffly throughout it. After that we went to Trenton and worked for a bit. We were able to see that potential that lives with his 80 yr old mom. His name is David, but everyone calls him Illy. So I call him illy too. =] He was making bread and gave us some. I was so happy. Man I love bread.
Then we went home for dinner and I really wasn't feeling good, but we had lesson at 6. Luckily it feel through so we came home and I just went to bed. I was so tired. I am so done being sick. haha
Monday! Today! haha Today we so far have only gone to Superstore and we took our time shopping. It's nice not to be in a rush. And then after we have dinner at Tracy's and then a lesson in Pictou with Theresa. =] We had one with Heidi, but just a minute ago she cancelled.
And yeah, that's our day. =]
I wanted to share something from my studies this last week.
I was reading in 1 Nephi 17. I read verses 8-9. The reason why I really liked them is because the Lord commands Nephi to build a ship, and Nephi's first response is not, "Ok Lord, give me the supplies to do this." No. His reply is, "Where should I go to build my own tools to build this ship?" And I just really loved that. Sometimes I feel I depend way to much on the Lord to to everything for me. And a theme I have been noticing for myself lately is that I need to make my own decisions. I need to be self sufficient. I can do it! I am the daughter of the most divine being in the whole universe! Of course I can make my own decisions. =] And the Lord will help me along the way. =]
I love you all!!
Thank you for everything!
