What a wonderful week this has been!! First off, next week my P day will be on Wednesday. We're going to D.C. with an investigator, and we aren't going to have much time to email at all, so just a heads up!!
Anywho, this week has been great. We went to the visitors center with a Recent Convert and we were able to look at all of the temple lights and what not. It's very pretty and the whole time I was thinking that the temple here really truly looks like a big white castle and that pretty much every person should want to go inside. Who wouldn't want that?!?!
but yes. Also. We were at the Caldwell families house for dinner and they did the whole "get to know you" shebang and when I told her I was from Washington, she gave me this incredulous look and said, "What? hm. For some reason I had several people in the ward telling me that the new sister missionary was from Australia. Seriously, several people told me..." HA. so. it appears that I've been raised in Australia my whole life, although I feel as if the accent is missing. but ehh.
It's really cool how on a mission I feel as if I have grown so much closer to the spirit in so many different ways, and most of them I don't even recognize. Something interesting happened the other day that made me realize it. We were planning for our day and I told my companion that I didn't feel like we were actually going to be seeing one of our investigators that night even though we had a solid appointment. We texted them and asked if it was still good to go and it appeared that everything was going to work out. However, night came and we ended up not meeting with him because he didn't get back in time for work. Its really interesting to look at all of the little things that God helps us with and we don't even realize it. I'm extremely grateful for the little promptings that we receive each day.
Oh hey so I wanted to tell you something cool that happened the other day. So last Monday you told me about Pa and the experience you had. Well I think it was inspired that you waited until that day to tell me. That night I could tell that my companion was thinking really hard about something and that there was something that was really bothering her. So I asked her about it.
As I was sitting there listening to her, the spirit brought back to my remembrance the things that you had told me from that morning about Pa. So I was quite confused why she needed to know that, however, i followed the prompting anyway and I then was able to tell her about her ancestors and that when she left this area that she would be alright because she had many ancestors who had passed on who would be watching out for her and guiding her. It was a neat experience! I just thought I would let you know!!
Also, that was so cool what Cabe said in his email about Pa as well!! Its neat to see him changing.:) I'm excited for him to continue to learn and grow.
I'm also grateful for the little things people do to go out of their way to serve those around them.
AND I'M SO EXCITED FOR CHRISTMAS!!!!!:D
have a great next few days and I'll see you soon!! :)
