SURPRISE
THE BEST MOMENT OF MY WEEK WAS THAT MY BROTHER MATT CAME TO VISIT HIS
MISSION (WHICH IS ALSO MY MISSION) AND MY PRESIDENT LET ME SEE HIM ON
MONDAY NIGHT WHEN I WAS IN SANTA MARIA WOOOOOOHOOOOOO IT WAS AWESOME AND
WEIRD BECAUSE IT HAD BEEN OVER A YEAR SINCE ID LAST HUGGED A MAN/BOY.
But
seriously it was SO amazing because he flew down to watch the temple
sealing of one of his converts, and it motivated me so much more to work
so that one day I can come back to see a family sealed in the temple :)
We
also had our mission counsel again, and we talked all about EXCHANGES
which was EXACTLY what I was wanting to learn more about how to take
advantage of the time we have with each of the sisters to help them
specifically and individually! We have a few sisters who are passing
through alot of personal challenges, and I felt more capacitaded (is
that even a word?) to love them and help Christ help them. I loved it!
Also I love being able to take care of people! I think its one of my
strengths to watch out and care for people. (just ask sister vera,
because everytime the crazy lady almost walks in front of a car, im the
one that sticks my arm out to pull her back and then yell ARE YOU
CRAZY?)
the
rest of the week was tiring, i think because 14 hours on a bus always
leaves me nouseous (spellcheck?) and stays with me for a few days...
We
dont have radical progress of anyone yet, still in that baptism drought
ya know, but we arent giving up yet! The problem is that the more we
try to find new investigators, the more we find people that were already
baptized and already went inactive and it is so sad :(
Good
story: I had a dream last night that I have returned home after the
mission and that I went to our ward to say hi to everyone, and I started
greeting everyone like they do here (which is ALWAYS A HUG AND A KISS
ON THE CHEEK, even if you dont know the person) so i was going around to
everyone kissing their cheeks and everyone thought i was weird and
creepy and I think that is going to be my reality in a few months, so
JUST A WARNING WHEN I GET HOME IM GOING TO KISS EVERYONES CHEEKS. <3
and
my spritual thought of the week is.........i didnt have time to plan
something, so everyone read moroni 7 and pray and be more loving :)
love, sista lipps
