Hi Ya'll!:D
So this week was a good week! Me and Sister Elms gave the lesson in our district meeting on Wednesday and I was really nervous. It went well, and I was praying the whole time. We taught on obedience, discipline , and purification. Both of us prepared a lot for it. Elder Lovell said we had 30 minutes, but I'm pretty sure we went just a tad over lol Me and Sister Elms want to do a challenge called the purification challenge and we started it this week. Its going to be really hard, but with Heavenly Fathers help we can do it.
Yesterday when we were knocking doors we met this guy named Pete. He was really nice and let us in almost right away. We started talking to him and he told us that he's talked to missionaries like us before. Pete has a Book Of Mormon and told us that he's read from cover to cover several times. We asked him if he had any questions about it and he kept going off on random tangents. He told us that he's seen a panther eat a women and he told us some other things as well. After about 10 minutes he told us that he had been in a severe car accident when he was in his twenties, and that he had a slight brain injury, which made sense because some of the things he was saying were really bizarre. He asked me if I was married, I said no. He asked if I had a boyfriend. He was making me a little nervous but then he just starting giving us marriage advice. He seemed like he had a sincere desire to learn more though and said we could come back. Were seeing him this Thursday I'm pretty sure. I'll let ya'll know how it went next Monday:D
Mom I got your package, THANK YOU!!! I LOVE IT!!:D The beef jerky was SO good!! I ate the little baggy you sent me in under 15 minutes lol. I also shared some with Sister Elms and she really liked it too! The little messages ya'll wrote to me were awesome too! Tell Spencer I really liked his drawing he wrote on it and Tiffany's was really cool as well:D The little face ya'll wrote was...just a little weird lol Who did the ninja turtle? Wish I could draw like that:D I LOVED the shirt too and it fits perfectly. I put it on right when I opened the package and didn't want to take it off for the rest of the day:D
Transfers are coming up, we have one week left! I hope this is the slowest week ever:( I know I'm not leaving but Sister Elms could. This transfer went by so fast! Doesn't even feel like it happened.
We just got a text from our Zone Leaders and this is what it said "GET READY FOR ZONE PDAY ON THE 1ST CAUSE WE ALL GOT 2 MONDAY NIGHT LESSONS THIS WEEK! WE ARE THE DOPEST ZONE FROM HERE TO KOLOB! GET READY TO PERTEE LIKE 2 NEPHI 28:7!"
This has been a goal for our district for the past couple of weeks and as you can tell were all pretty excited for it lol. A couple of days ago when we were being interviewed by our new mission president, those of us still waiting started talking about what we studied in personal study. We talked about scriptures and some of our favorite chapters. Missionaries are such nerds lol In the best way. It's just funny because someone will find a scripture and be really excited about it. Which is a good thing, better to be excited about scriptures that than anything else. I'm going to be so awkward when I get home:D lol
Well that's all I have for this week, sorry I don't have a lot of stories to tell ya'll this week, but hopefully I'll have some next week. Love ya'll and hope you have the best day ever!:D #MissionaryForLife! #MissionariesAreDorks:D
Love, Sister Keables
