I never really know how to start off these emails and or what the heck to write in them so I apologize if yall think I'm weird. But the mission has been going by crazy fast it's already been 1 whole transfer! And I got some crazy news about where I'm going!!! I'm staying in Chesapeake Virginia!!!!!! Wooooooo!!! We got our transfer news on Saturday and yes I'm staying in my same area, still in training. We did however get a bigger district so now we have sisters in our district as well as a trio in our district now! Pdays gonna be lit for real!
Tuesday was awesome! We had a dinner appointment with this awesome family! They made us chicken Alfredo and cookies!! They also talked a lot about missionaries and apparently they had a missionary who served in Gilbert Arizona!! Small small world, I don't think I ever met him but still super cool. On Wednesday we went knocking and we didn't have like crazy crazy success until the last door we knocked on. We knocked on this door and nobody showed up so we left and as we were driving by to leave, there was a lady outside and she was like flagging us down asking if we knocked on her door. We parked the car ad fast as we could and went to go talk to her. We prayed with her and actually shared a quick message about the Book Of Mormon with her! We then got her number and she was super down for another message another time!! We then went to another area and met a dude who's grandpa apparently was a temple president at the D.C. temple! He said was never really religious but recently lost his anchor in life and was willing to learn more. He already had a Book of Mormon so we invited him to read it and we got his number as well!
Friday we had an exchange with our district and my companion went to the other area while the greenie came to our area. This meant that I was gonna be the lead of the area!! I got to drive a car!!! But of course, God never makes things easy so the day I was supposed to drive it was down pouring like crazy!! I had to drive on the freeway for like 30 minutes in what seemed like a tsunami. I kid you not, all I saw was red brake lights from the truck in front of me and just waves of rain! Fortunately we got home safe and spent the day knocking and making calls. It was so fun and I felt so comfortable being the lead of the area!! It was a great exchange!!
Sunday we had another dinner appointment and the family we went to are absolutely amazing!! They made a delicious dinner and we talked and laughed and had a great time. We also shared an awesome message about how it's important that we pray for others. Like Enos, he prayed for his brethren and his enemies. We too can pray for our friends and our enemies.
Well it's been a fun 2 months so far, in case yall don't know, saturday was the mark for two months since I've been a missionary, I don't really know what to think about that other than the fact that I've been having so much fun and learned so much from everybody around me. And since it's November and Thanksgiving is literally in 10 days! I'll share what I'm grateful for! I'm so grateful for my family, I don't really know what I would do without them, each night I pray that I will recognize how much love they have shown me and I can honestly say that I don't think I would be where I am today without them. I'm grateful for my friends and everyone else who has influenced my life, going to school, growing up, being stupid with all my friends has been a blessing like no other. I'm grateful for this gospel especially the apostles and prophets that we have to guide and direct us. My testimony has always been strong but after listening to our leaders talk about their testimonies, preaching what they know has astronomically strengthened my testimony. Listening to the Prophet and the apostles talk with power, with no doubts, with love, has shaped the way I think and the way I want my life to be. As Thanksgiving comes around it's important we recognize all the many many blessings in our lives and to prepare for the feast of a lifetime 😋
Hope yall have a good week, talk to yall in the next
P.s. I suck at taking pictures so I don't have any this week. 😅 maybe next week I'll have some
