Week 50

  September 15, 2014

Friends & Family,

This week was good. Being in a trio (having 2 companions) is hard... but good! I have learned so much about myself and how to deal with certain things. It's really cool how much we are being prepared for our futures.

Gloucester Virginia is being BLESSED. I love this area so much! As of right now we have 3 people scheduled to be baptized in the next 2 months. Please pray that they will continue in the progress. It is a working miracle over here. I am learning so much!!! AND 5 investigators at church... that is not normal.... hahaha I really love being a missionary!!!

Funny story. We were driving home from Stake conference, 25 minutes away… so it ends at 9 and we have to be in our homes at 930.. so we are driving and our tire pressure light goes off.. hahaha 24, 15, 5, 0.... we pulled over and went to go look what happened.. there was hole in the tread.. so we are like great. 3 girls and none of us know how to change a tire... I could do it if I really tired. but I was scared. It was cold.. and we were tired... we waited forever for someone to come to us.. we got home at 10:45..... IT WAS A LATE LONG NIGHT... for a missionary.. hahaha!! But it's okay we are all safe.. :) No worries mom ;)

So we had stake conference and it was Amazing, spiritual, and uplifting!!! :) One quote that just stuck with me was "Whenever you fall He (God) isn't upset with you... He is happy of your efforts and how far you have came... GET BACK UP!! Who cares how messy it is. He wants YOU to come back to him.. so GET UP." I love that so much because sometimes we fall and we fall hard.. We get discouraged.. its natural.. but we have to get back up. Heavenly Father LOVES and KNOWS each of us... PERFECTLY.. He is there at times when we fall.. To help us!! Sometimes we feel alone.. and that no one has felt what we are going through, but Jesus Christ does. He knows us perfectly and what we are going through. That brings me so much comfort!! :) If any of you haven't seen "Because of him", go to youtube.com and search "Because of him". I promise you will feel the spirit It testifies that JESUS CHRIST LIVES. I love this church so much. I know for a surety that this is the true gospel and it helps you in times when you need it the most!!!

I hope you all have a great week!!

I love and miss you ALL!! :)
