This week has been a week of miracles!!! WOOT!
Miracle #1: So on Tuesday
we went and contacted this referral that we got. They had requested a
Bible and so we called her and talked to her and she was super nice and
said we could come give it to her. So we dropped by her house and gave
it to her and she was like, "Thank you! I just love getting readings
like this!" And then we talked about another great reading - The Book of
Mormon! And she was super interested in it and we gave it to her and
invited her to read it and asked if we could come back and she was like,
"Yeah of course! I would love for you to come study with me!" And we
told her if she had any questions to just ask and she was like, "Oh I am
always asking questions so that's good! And I'm really teachable!"
Wow!!!
Miracle #2: Our brains didn't totally
melt from watching 4 movies on New Years day. New Years day was what we
call "Super P-day" Wow. We got to sleep in till 8, study in our PJ's and
then we got to watch 5 approved movies (but we only watched 4). We
watched Frozen (LOVE IT!!!!) , How to Train Your Dragon 2 (great one!),
Despicable Me 2 (I didn't think this one was very good I was pretty
bored), and the Lego Movie (quite creative but really, really random).
Yeah but afterwards we were all like zombies. After going for 6 months
(and others longer) without watching a movie...that was just a little
much. Our brains were pretty much fried. But luckily not totally melted!
Oh yeah and also, on New Years Eve we watched 17 miracles and so that
just adds to the list of movies. Also we drank eggnog mixed with
Sprite. What a weird combination...but apparently that's really popular.
Miracle #3: I made it 1/3 of the way through my mission! I hit my 6 month mark on Friday! Crazy! Wowie Kazowie.
Miracle
#4: I haven't eaten any added sugar in 5 days. Yup, January 1 we went
off sugar (I mean, we can eat natural sugar like in fruit and whatnot).
We packed up all our candy and junk food and put it up. Yeah I still
have like a box full of it. Yikes. But yeah...we are trying to be
healthier. Also we have sworn off other junk food. And we don't eat
after 8....and we are exercising a lot! Wowie we are going to be so
healthy. Or we will get healthy and then just gain it all back once we
get out our boxes of candy.
Miracle #5: So the
Elders had a baptism this weekend and we wanted Ashlee (Clem's
daughter) to go to it, especially since we had to bring the programs we
had printed off at the church and they wanted me to play the piano. So
we invited her to come and she didn't really say whether or not she was
going to come. So we decided that we would just ask for a ride to the
baptism from Clem and then Ashlee would pretty much be forced to come
because of the rules (oh the things we do to get people to come to
things) but then we were talking about it later and we realized that we
can't do that because Ashlee is only 13 and she has to be 16. So we were
like, "Oh no! Now she won't come!!" But we decided to be obedient over
having Ashlee come. So we rode with the other Sisters and Brother Tucker
to the baptism and guess who came? ASHLEE!!! Miracle!! Oh man we were
blessed for our obedience!!! So that was crazy awesome!!!!
Miracle #6: ASHLEE CAME TO CHURCH ON SUNDAY!!! Oh my goodness. We were at the baptism on Saturday
and we asked Ashlee if she was going to her mom or her aunts (because
that's why she doesn't come is because she always goes there) and she
said no and so we asked her if she was coming to church and she said
yes!!!! And the thing that is so cool is that we started a fast on Saturday after lunch till Sunday
at lunch and we fasted specifically for Ashlee that she would come to
church and she did!!! Oh man and I think she really liked it!
Miracle
#7: We have 2 progressing investigators now!! And they are SOLID
progressing investigators! Ashlee is finally progressing and Bennie is
doing awesome! He has some crazy ideas but he seems to like everything
we are teaching him and so we just have to keep telling him to focus on
the simplicity of the gospel!
Miracle #8 (kind
of goes along with 6): We had 2 investigators at church today!!! That
didn't ever happen last transfer or this transfer! Also the other 2 sets
of missionaries also had 2 investigators at church! We all did and that
is like - unheard of! Well, not really but it hasn't happened in a long
time!!
Miracle #9: Our dryer was being really
dumb and we figured out how to make it work. I was telling a story
about changing the laundry or something...I don't even remember how it
came up but it came up that it takes forever for our dryer to dry
stuff...like we have to do it like 3 times before it all gets dry and
it's so annoying. And we were out with Jaleta and at the Dobbs's
(awesome family, he's a recent convert and she used to be less active)
and that came up and Sister Dobbs was like, "Did you change the lint
trap?" And we just sort of sat there.....and we were just like,
".....no....." Then her and Jaleta were making fun of us forever. So we
went home and checked the lint trap...okay for the record, normally at
home I am not dumb and I change it because it's like right in the door
so I always see it, but ours is like a little door on the top of the
dryer that is always covered with things so we don't see it. So I pulled
it out and.......well you'll just have to look at the picture....I
reckon our dryer works a lot better now.
Miracle
#10: I'm done with this letter now. Y'all were probably dying at how
long this is. Actually it isn't that long. That's probably another
miracle.
Love ya'll!!!! Have an awesome week!!
Love,
Sister Myers
P.S. 2015 will be spent entirely as a missionary for me. Weird thought.
