Hey y'all! How is everyone? I hope everyone is doing well! This week went by pretty fast, I can't believe it's already Monday again! But this week was pretty good so I'll give you a quick update on the week.
Monday: We went out to Mt. Vernon and wrote emails there because we had another exchange later that day and that's where we met the other sisters. I went back to Camano with Sis Barraclough! We actually came out together so we were a little nervous because we are both still trying to understand mission life haha! But that night we met with one of their friends named Ris. He is super awesome and is just waiting to get baptized. He loves the Book of Mormon and always talks about how great it is haha. He's awesome!
Tuesday: Sis Barraclough and I did some service that morning and then went and had another lesson with Ris. It was about family history and let's just say it was a little rough. Neither of us have ever done a family history lesson with the family history consultants so we didn't really know what we were doing but it's all good because we learn as we go! Later that day while we were tracting a little we accidentally tracted into some members! It was great because after we shared a scripture and were leaving the wife said "thank you so much for coming over I really needed that". It was awesome! Then when we went to our lesson with a member family the mom told us that she was just over at that same member's house earlier that morning! Crazy right?! It was pretty awesome.
Wednesday: We had district council that morning and that is always awesome. We talked a lot about the importance of families and the plan of salvation which is exactly what we were planning on teaching our friend Jason later that day!! That lesson went really well. We hadn't met with him for a while because he has a crazy work schedule but he is still super interested in learning more about the gospel but wants to take it slow. Later that day we went out to visit some less actives with a member from one of the wards, Sis Bray. It was really neat because we visited a sister and she told us that life is an adventure and when we got home Sis Cluff found a sticker she had gotten in one of her areas that said "life is an adventure" it was so crazy!
Thursday: Kind of a weird day. All of our plans went out the window except for two things. We had another lesson with Jason and we talked about the Plan of Salvation and mostly talking about our life on earth and the Atonement. It went really well and he feels that he is starting to understand things. We went back out with Sis Bray that night and when we showed up to another sister's house she saw Sis Bray and said "God works in mysterious ways" and started crying. She had been really struggling and Sis Bray used to minister to her and she had been asking for her just 2 days earlier. It was definitely what she needed. It's so awesome how the Lord is so aware of all of our needs.
Friday: We had service at the zoo in the morning and Sis Cluff took me around to see the cougars and the emu so that was neat! Nothing too exciting happened during the day but we did get to talk to a lot of people later that night which was awesome!
Saturday: We went to a memorial service that morning for the grandson of a family in one of the wards. It was really a good service and the spirit was so strong during the whole thing. The rest of the day was pretty much just weekly planning. We had a our last lesson with Salemma because she's leaving for college so that was sad that night. But she's super excited and she's going to be awesome.
Sunday: We had Stake Conference and it was so good! So much good stuff was said! There was one talk that talked about ministering and the sister talked about how we should minister to everyone around us and to just love them. It was so great I loved it.
Well that was the week. I just want to elaborate on what one of the sisters talked about on Sunday. Everything we do should be motivated by love for those around us. The 2 greatest commandments Christ gave is were to love the Lord thy God and love one another. When we love those around us that is when hearts are changed and they can be able to feel the Saviors love for them through us. Well, I love you all and hope you have a great week!
