This week has been great but I don't have a lot of time because it's been a crazy day and we have had a lot to do!
Remember
that referral that me and Sister Sumbot contacted that was in
Timbuktu?! Well we went and saw them this week (finally) and oh my
goodness they are SO PREPARED!!!!! Some of the things they said were
just shocking! We taught the Plan of Salvation and after we were done
Kenneth was like, "This is what I have always believed. Preachers just
keep messing with it!" And then at one point Kenneth had to take a phone
call and so LaDonna was talking to us and we were talking about Kenneth
and she said, "He's searching for truth. More than any person I know."
Seriously?! And then we were talking to both of them later and Kenneth
said, "Yeah I'm still not sure about those modern-day prophets. It seems
too good to be true. But I know that if I live right then one day I'll
be enlightened about that." Um what?!!!!! JOHN 7:17!!!!!
And then they kept on saying about how they have been in turmoil as to
what church they should attend because none of them feel right. BINGO!
You found the right church!!! :) Keep praying for them!
So remember how last Monday I was sick? Well I was still sick by Wednesday
and so I decided to ask the Elders for a blessing but the thing that
was so cool was that President Andersen was there after our district
meeting to give Sister McDonald and Elder Myers their departing
interviews and so he joined in and gave me the main part of the
blessing! So cool to get a blessing from the mission president! And oh
man I wish I had been in a state to think about writing it down slash
recording it because wowie it was such a good blessing. And by the end
of the day I was completely fine! Actually it was more like an hour. God
is good!
So the Collins, the branch President
and his wife and their family were on vacation for like 2 weeks and oh
man we missed them so much! So we went and saw them after district
meeting because we were going to put a welcome home sign on their door
but they had already gotten home but they let us help them vacuum out
their car! Oh I just love Sister Collins! Actually all of them! I missed
them so much! We all did! They are the best! She is seriously my
Mayfield Mom! Anyway, I just love them.
Also we
ate dinner at the Collins this week and I weighed myself at their
house....GUESS WHO LOST 10 POUNDS?!!! This girl!!!!! #gottalovebiking
We
had trainer trainee meeting this week! That was such a good meeting! It
gave me some great ideas as to how I can be a better trainer! Except
the last hour I was really sick (this was on Tuesday)
and so that was rough! Sister Dunn, one of the office ladies came and
just gave me the biggest hug and she's like, "You better feel better!"
She is so funny. I love her so much. She's my mission grandma. So is
Sister Godfrey in the office. Oh I just love all of them lets be real. I
have so many grandma's now.
We taught Marvin
this week. We had called and talked to him and he said he didn't like
how we put faith in man (referring to the prophet) and so we talked to
him about how we don't have faith in the prophet, we have faith in
Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ and about how the prophet just helps us
to gain faith in Them and how we just respect him and know he is a
normal man. He felt so much better after that! We were definitely Spirit
guided as we talked to him though and so I think that helped a lot! He
is still working on coming to know it's true!
Beth
is doing pretty good! She still has some sort of problem with church
but we'll get her there! She is reading the Book of Mormon every day so
that's great!
Some random guy sitting across
from us here at the Library has been talking to us while I write and he
said he wants to get us gift cards to eat! He knows quite a bit about
the church and He is so grateful for what we are doing! Don't know if
he's interested at all but that's so nice!!! :) Good thing I paid my
fast offerings! God is good.
Oh man sorry this letter was so lame! It's been a slow week! Here are a couple of funny stories because I still have some time!
1.
So I play the piano for primary and so we are in the sharing time for
primary each week and this little girl said the closing prayer and she
is great at praying so she was praying for a while (she is 5 btw) and
then after the prayer she was wiping her eyes and we were like, "Are you
okay?" And she was like, "Sorry I was crying a little." Hahah oh
kids....they kill me. You would have to really know her for it to be
funny.
2. So Sister Orchard was getting ready to leave and she
was looking for the shirt she was changing into and she said, "Where is
my shirt. Shirt! Shirt! Shirt!" But she was saying in a British accent
(because a lot of times we randomly speak in accents just for
fun)........now read what I just wrote again, but think in an English or
British accent and just imagine how that sounds! Hahahah we were
dying!! And it was so funny because she didn't realize what it sounded
like at first and so I was just staring at her in this funny way and I
just waited until she realized...and haha the whole thing was just so
funny.
Here's a cool quote we heard from Tony
Jones - a LA: "If I've got a problem with someone usually I can solve it
by taking one good long look in the mirror."
Also I just love Romans 8:28. Look it up. I shared with someone yesterday so I just have been thinking about it. That's a good one.
Love y'all lots!
Love,
Sister Myers
