Family & Friends,
This week was very much needed....
So
we had a meeting with our mission president this past week. We have one
every 3 months. But I was kind of nervous. haha but the meeting was
great! :) My mission president is amazing! He makes you feel like you
are worth so much!! He helps you understand more about what our purpose
is here on a mission! I love my mission President.
But that night we had an amazing lesson with Shelby. She is one of our investigators.. She is changing right before our eyes. She is 19 years old and LOVES me. haha She always says, "After your mission can we be best friends"!! hah it is so cute! but she had a really hard time understanding the Book of Mormon. I tried to explain to her that it is still hard for me and everyone else in the world. It's scary cause I don't want her to get discouraged. But I have this picture book that we use a lot with her. She is a very visual learner so it helps! But she asked us if she could get a blessing so that she can understand the Book of Mormon better!! Ahh that is the best thing an investigator could ask. haha So we called the elders and they came over!! It was such a cool experience. Then she said she would offer the closing prayer, In the middle of the prayer she started to cry. The spirit was so strong! That was one of the best prayers I have ever heard! She is so amazing!!

Then
the next day... MY AMAZING FAMILY sent me a fun package. I Love You all
so much! It made my day! Everything was so amazing! :) Thank you so
much!! you guys are the best!! That night we just contacted people. When
I was getting ready for bed... I was brushing my teeth and my tooth
hurt SOOO bad... ahh it was the worst and there was a black spot on my
tooth.. Gosh all you know I HATE the dentist.. haha so I called and made
an appointment to check my teeth cause I didn't want it to be a root
canal or something! So I made an appointment for Friday.. ( I'll get back to the rest later..) haha.
I
LOVE the young women.. We go to young women's cause two of our
investigators kids go! All the young women.. ALL 5 of them.. haha are
great! :) I love our ward so much, every time we go to church a little
girl Elizabeth runs up to me and I kneel down and she RUNS.... up to me
and hugs me for like 10 seconds! She always wants me to come over to her
house and play! haha I love her so much cause it reminds me of my cute
amazing nieces and nephews who I miss so much!! :)
So
our area is HUGE.. So we drove down to Nags Head, Outer Banks, North
Carolina. It is about an hour and a half away and we stay with the
sisters that live there. We were there till Monday,
It was a LONG weekend there! But there is so much potential there. We
met 4 new investigators down there. It's so hard to find new
investigators.... WOW. We had great success there! The members are so
nice down there! So I had a dentist appointment that day. I was very
nervous cause I didn't have my mom to hold my hand. I hate the dentist
so much... But the dentist was Mormon and he was super nice! He numbed
me so much...... I felt so drugged after! haha but everything went well!
And my tooth is better! I have some good videos and pictures so
hopefully one day you can see those! hahaha :)
Monday.
P-DAY!!! was amazing!!! :) We had a Zone activity. So everyone drove to
Nags Head and we went out to eat at a pizza place! :) Then went over to
the church to change into our relaxing clothes haha, then we drove to
the dunes.. WOW. It was so amazing and beautiful, we played volleyball,
flew kites, and played Frisbee. We started to bury Elder Hart in the
sand then Elder Harbertson then Lainhart! It was SOOO funny! Then the
sisters tackled me and held me down and buried me.... I was so mad at
first cause I had sand.. ALLLLL over me! haha but it was funny then I
tackled Sister Hymas and buried her!! it was crazy but so much fun!! I
love my life so much! I love that I am here on a mission! I have never
been so happy!!! :)) Thank you for everything! I love and miss you all!!!
