We were able to go on a walk with Sister Higgins and
her kids last P-Day. That was nice. We have been trying to soak up this awesome weather because, unfortunately, it won't last very long (so we hear).
I can't believe I've been out 9 months already! It is crazy! What's even more crazy is that by the end of this transfer I will have spent 8 of them in Lake Sawyer ward. These people are my family. It will be so hard to leave.
Sister Webb is the best. We clicked right off the bat, so that's good. She's so eager to be obedient and do all she can to learn and improve. She's a champ. We have fun together. My iPod chord thing has been broken so we've been jammin' to a super old school seminary CD. It's pretty sweet.
So we went into a house and it was pretty awkward. They were on their way out to have dinner and I apparently said "Well, have a good dinner." 7,500 times. Haha. Sister Webb pointed it out and when I realized how many times I had said it I was cracking up. Sooo... have a good dinner!
Some man explained thoroughly all of his past life to us at his door step. He said "As a kid all I wanted was drugs, sex, and rock and roll... and that's what I got!" He proceeded to tell us that he hoped he would come back as a zombie so he could "get revenge on all the people that did him wrong." Definitely not cohesive to our beliefs, but it was an interesting point of view.
Sister Webb took a leap of faith and tried talking to someone at the door, but instead she ended up just laughing super hard and the kid was looking at us like we were crazy. It was hilarious. A for effort Sister Webb! ;)
Some kid was walking out of the forest and we tried striking up a conversation with him and he just said "I am going home to change my pants. I sat in dog poop." Upon further inspection. He had. Poor kid.
We were walking down a street and some too-cool-13-year-olds were biking past us. We said "Hey! How are you?!" and they looked at us and didn't say a word, just rolled on by. About 5 seconds later we hear a CRASH. We look back to see the wheel of one of their bikes completely fall off and the kid sprawled out on the floor. We were about to go over and help him, but thought he probably already felt humiliated enough. (Luckily he wasn't hurt.) I guess they should have said hi to us. No one recognizes the power we really have. ;) Haha! It was a priceless moment. We had to walk around the corner to laugh.
It is really crazy that half of my mission is already done. This time is probably the only time in my WHOLE life where I will be solely dedicated to serving the Lord... and it's flying by. Sometimes we don't see the results we want, but we just have to keep our head up and remember God has a plan and there is always something to learn. Luckily, we can anchor our faith in the Savior and know that through Him all things will eventually be made right. :) This week is a special week where we celebrate Christ's Resurrection. In honor of this, a new video and website was made yesterday and I am asking you all to look at it whether Christian or not. It left me with chills. I know that it is true. I know that Christ lives. And it is because of Him that we will live again. :) Take some time to contemplate what that means to you and what the true meaning of Easter really means to you. #becauseofhim
Mikayla! Im so happy for you and where you are in your life. God has moved in my life in ways i could never imagine, but that's the power he has and in that is the essence of beauty. This may will make a full year that i have been saved and watching that video made me feel joy. I miss you and hope to do the work god has called me to do the way that you are. -Wanda White
