So much to say, so little time.
This week I:
-got a little dog so excited it peed on someone's couch
-spilled a glass of water on a member's carpet
-befriended a bunch of little kids
-walked through a huge field of mud that I had mistaken for grass
-got covered with great dane slobber
.....and a couple more fantastic things. :)
We had a sweet weekend! Elder Hamula from the Quorum of the 70 came and spoke with us.
I was lucky enough to hear him for two days because S. Ballard and I went to
Leadership Council. I ate my lunch next to him. I was feeling pretty good.
He spoke about the Sacrament in the last General Conference. He is so inspired and
answered so many prayers and fasts. The fact alone that there are 70's still on this earth is evidence that Christ's church has been restored! (Luke 10:1)
Pretty sure I've sent this one before, but who cares:
What could we do with faith like this girls? What can we do to strengthen our faith?
I know that as we increase our faith in Jesus Christ we will have the power to do more
than we think we can do on our own. Because we won't be alone. :)
Elder Hamula said "Faith is not an event. It is a process." That is so true. We have to
continue to press on in faith so that our faith doesn't diminish. As soon as we stop
increasing our faith, it decreases. I'm going to re-read the Gospels to help strengthen
my faith in Jesus Christ. What will you do? :)
We went on two exchanges which were fun. I got to go to an area where there are a lot
of Marshalese people. :) I also watched as S. Sheffer got stuck on a rose bush and was
being attacked by three bulgy-eyed (one with only one eye) French bull dogs. It was
priceless.
S. Goaslind got to come back for a day too which was fun. That's when we walked through
the mud field. Seriously it looked like lovely green grass. So deceiving.
One of the people we teach wore a little Krispey-Kreme looking hat the whole time. I
seriously couldn't take it. Ah! So great.
I've been a pretty good child occupier lately. They teach and I distract children, pets, etc. Life is good in a trio.
So I'm sitting in sacrament meeting and I look to my left to find a nodding-head asleep S. Ballard. I thought it was pretty funny so I turn to my left, excited to point it out to S. Goodman... who to my surprise... was also asleep and nodding off. There I was in between my two sleeping companions.
I wish I had a picture of how we cleaned our cars the day before car checks. We were seriously in our garage cleaning it with a mop and bucket and drying it with wash cloths.... and guess who won the Golden Plates that day? Mhm. Yours truly. Hard work pays off. :P (The people with the cleanest car gets a gold license plate cover... I've never tried to get it.)
There is a boy in our ward named Seattle Washington.
Everyone has kidney stones. It's seriously like an epidemic over here. I've never heard of
it so much before.
Go to byutv.org and watch A New Day for the Book of Mormon. Such a sweet documentary. The Book of Mormon is true! :) (Not that I needed the movie to solidify that, but it's still
pretty sweet.)
We were teaching someone and S. Ballard totally quoted a children's song and said, "God gave us families, so we could become who He wants us to be." It's so true, but man was she cheesy. I really had to hold back the laughter.
Incredible moment...
Seriously a lady we are teaching is magnificent. We had a lesson in church on the Spirit
World and it touched her so much. The Spirit is teaching her SO much. I'm so grateful
I get to witness so many of Heavenly Father's miracles down here.
Welp. Time is running short. Miracles are abundant. I've learned a lot this past week.
Especially about faith. And consecrating ourselves to God. I wish I had time to write more,
but alas. I am on a mission and our time is... well, not our own.
Until next time, I'll be doing it the Federal Way.
Love you,
Sister Pearson :)
