This week has been CRAAAAAAZZYYYYY!
Probably one of the fastest weeks on my mission thus far. It
seems like EVERY thing happened!
The weather has been so nice which
has really been a blessing since Hermana Howton and I have been
on bike week. We had a wonderful zone conference on Wednesday
where we got to meet with a lot of the other Spanish speaking
missionaries we all gathered around one table to eat lunch. It
was crazy packed but it was super fun! I have noticed that this
week my comprehension of what is being said has really
increased. So I know that your prayers are working and all I
have to say is Please keep it up =D
I am so glad that Sister Bryant got
to e-mail you. She is SO amazing! She is really into essential
oils she is actually an aromatouch practitioner with douterra!
It is super cool getting to talk oils with her! lol I can
actually hold my own in that conversation. And she has really
been getting my thinking about going into message therapy when I
come home... who knows, maybe yes, maybe no.
The area is fabulous! We had both
of our investigators with a baptismal date at church! I have
had some really amazing spiritual experiences this week with
the work. I have really come to know that Heavenly Father is
aware of every aspect of our lives and especially this work.
We decided to try contacting at the city park, and I was a
little timid about it (I have repented already) but hermana
Howton made the comment that we would see a miracle if we just
went and did it. So we went and it wasn't terribly successful
and as we were walking away I had seriously just had the
thought, "some miracle" when we heard someone call out to us.
It was Francine one of our investigators that we had been
having a really hard time contacting because she had been so
busy! And we were able to talk to her and continue to
encourage her to read and pray about the Book of Mormon. I
love this area so much and the people here are so amazing I
have really been able to feel the Savior's love for them. We
have an investigator Rabbit who has been really just
struggling with everything going on in her life. And I just
felt prompted to share my testimony that Heavenly Father knows
each of his children and that she is so very precious in his
sight. I can't tell you how amazing it was to truly be an
instrument in His hands to share his love. It has been an
answer to a priesthood blessing! And that love has really
helped my testimony to grow about how much the Savior loves
me.
I love Hermana Howton so much!
She has such a sweet testimony and is a wonderful example. She
knows her Savior and has been amazing in sharing that
testimony and belief with others to help them come closer to
Him.
We had a pretty crazy bike
week...on Thursday first Hermana Howton's skirt got caught in
her bike wheel and got ripped up pretty bad. and then my back
tire kind of exploded.... so our bike week quickly tuned into
a walk week. And let me tell you how EXHAUSTING walking is! It
is super crazy you wouldn't think it would make you that tired
but it does!
I am studying Mosiah 1-5 I have
only gotten to chapter 3 but I have really learned so much
mostly about how our Heavenly Father has promised blessings to
those who are obedient to his commandments and the more exact
we are in following the more immediate the blessings. I hope
throughout this coming week that I will be able to let go of
little thoughts or actions that keep me from keeping a strict
adherence to the schedule and to really take advantage of
talking with everyone that the Lord has placed in my path. I
know that I am in Warren for a reason and to help very
specific people and I hope that I become more obedient I will
be blessed to know how to better help them come unto Him.
I am loving my mission!
Hermana Ives
