This week can be summed up by the lyrics from
one of my favorite bands
*The Maine*
"some days feel like razor blades, some days
taste like lemonade"
The good and the bad.
yeah this week was
EXPLODING!
with craziness.
Had a lesson with the girl we met at the ice
cream store!
it was such a powerful lesson really directed by
the spirit.
We're seeing her today to give her a proteguese
book of mormon.
She fed us brazilian food!
I love serving in
AMERICA
so many different cultures jam packed over
here
She made me cry during the lesson which is
something I don't normally do!
She shared how she knew meeting us was
NO COINCIDENCE.
How everything is starting to fall into place
for her and her life.
#meltedmyheart
It just made me so happy knowing that she really
needed us to share the gospel with her.
And how she was just about to give up hope right
before we found her.
Hello.
The church is TRUE.
and can bless
every aspect of our lives
So humbling to see heavenly father working
through me and sister cox to help her
when she was in need.
Met with Alvin!
(the guy we found last week while drawing with
chalk on the sidewalk)
Taught him the restoration
Invited him to be baptized on
June 22
HE ACCEPTED!!
hollahhhh
He happens to also have a super
attractive
Puerto-Rican accent(;
YAY.
hahahhaha
seriously though.
He's prepared and its
awesome.
Ahhh
K
so this is the last week of the transfer!
I may or may not get transferred.
we find out friday so I will let y'all know next
monday
what happens
June 4
=
9 month mark!
aka
halfway!!!
nooooooo
which is so weird and gross
because it still feels like i just left!
Got my haircut last week
it's short and
i hate it
but whatevz
it had to be done!!!
it was so dead.
so now it's healthy so its all gooood
Stopped by one of our investigators and she was
outside raking her grass
LET US HELP YOUUUU!!
she gives me the rake
and i rake away!!!
my comp knows exactly what to do now.
#divideandconquer
I got the leaves/grass
she has our investigator!
I rake slowly so they can talk longer
Afterwards she invites us inside and we were
able to read 3 nephi 11
she shared how she wanted to find and to know
the truth
Well you've come to the right place!!!!!
we promised her that she'd find it
HERE.
Because the book of mormon is true.
Sunday was awesome
GREAT speakers and lessons
about
daily discipleship!
and finding truth.
Took like 5 pages of notes...
#nerd
#dontcare
One of the speakers shared the story of an LDS
family who vactioned in Malaysia.
Decided to go to church so they took a train to
Thailand.
Same day..the huge tsunami hit that resort
We go to church!
Because its who we are.
Doing the simple things over and over and over
and over again truly make up all the differences in our lives.
CPR
church
pray
read
(:
So simple
So easy
So important
Picture this:
you have this gigantic solid block of
granite.
Pounding your chisel over and over and over and
over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and
over again.
1000 times over again
what do you get?
the
SALT LAKE
TEMPLE.
something so beautiful and complicated was
created by doing the simple things
over and over and over again.
remember to do the simple things!
#justdoit
We sang hymn 45 during sacrament and it really
touched me
"Father all my heart I give thee"
super good and something i try to do as a
missionary
Another awesome lesson during relief society was
taught
by my german friend!
(she's having us over for dinner this
week...making us german food!)
(mom do you know what gulasch is?"
idk how to spell it
but that's what she's making us
yay(:
Talked about truth!
Truth means in greek vere
aka
very
verily
whenever you see verily verily i say unto
you
it's saying truthfully truthfully i say unto
you
changes the meaning now huh?
so sweet!
So the more i've been studying and learning
about the gospel of Jesus Christ
the more convinced that it is
ME.
It is who I am.
The gospel isn't just
something we do for 3 hours on Sunday
its WHO we
are.
we are all sons and daughters of God
it's in our nature to serve and follow Him and
to do His will and to keep His commandments
Make time for his work and service!
Elaine Bradley's I'm a Mormon video on mormon.org
(shes the drummer for neon trees!! if you havent
watched her video go do it now! it's my favorite(:
"I feel so much better, and so much more myself when i follow the teaching
of
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day
Saints"
exactly.
Another one of my fav
quotes
idk who said it
though
"we are not a human being
having a spiritual experience.
we are a spiritual being
having a human experience!"
have a good
week
i love you!
