Hey hey hey! :) Well this week has
been quite a different week... but a good one! :) My brain is kind of spinning
so this might be a little confusing but I will try to update you the best I
can! :)
Tuesday: We just had district
meeting and then a member took us to Chili’s that night! :) MMM! :)
(yes mother... I got the grilled salmon! The member is the one who is running
the Metlife Stadium.
Wednesday: We had a great day... we
finally got our ticket paid... ha! :) Then we were able to go and
see a family who just moved in which is super good! Then we
went to see a lady who is really struggling right now in our ward and she
was getting ready to go "down the shore" (that’s how you say it here
in Jersey) and guess what she needed? Her toenails painted! ha! So
I was able to provide her some service! :) We painted them a cute
color and she was super grateful! It's fun to be able to use my
skills! Then we had dinner at a member’s house then I was off to
Patterson! :) We went out for a little bit that night and it was so cool... I
talked to so many people! There is people everywhere just walking around on the
streets! People there are really humble so they really want to listen! It was defiantly
different then I was used to... however I love it! :) (minus the part where a
big dog tried to attack me.. when missionaries say dogs don't like them.. they
aren't kidding!!!)
Thursday: So my new companion was
Sister Morrison! There were 4 Sisters in one house there and it was pretty
crazy! :) hahah but it was good! Thursday we were able to go to Liberty Island
and serve there! It is always great! But so tiring... I met someone from Bordeaux,
France and I told them to look for someone with a tag like I had on and
tell him I said hi! :) haha I don't think they understood me! :) Then it took
us 2 hours to get home (Jersey traffic is INSANE fyi.) but then I don't know
how, but Sister Morrison has serious connections and we went to eat with an
investigator at the Cheese Cake Factory! :) YUM! 2 weeks ago they came out with
a NEW GLUTEN FREE MENU!! So I was able to have noodles AND a CHEESE CAKE!!!!
Best.day.ever! :)
Friday: Friday we woke up and we
were able to go and do some service for a lady. We cleaned up her yard because
we were having a young single adult party at their house the next day! So that
was great! Then we went and got the supplies for the party... then we went and
did more service for another lady... then we went to a member in my area's
house for dinner! :) That was about it...
Saturday: We woke up and went and
helped someone move!! Remind me to tell you why she was moving when I get home...
I am pretty sure if I told you now, mom would be coming to get me! ha :) Then
we went to my area because my other comp went to Liberty Island so we were able
to meet a Less Active for lunch... (man... we eat so much) then we went and had
a great lesson with our Catholic Investigator!
While I was gone they had a lesson with him and told him that pretty
much he had to choose what church because he couldn't have one foot in both...
so he was going to pray about it so in our lesson with him we were flowing up
with that and it turned out the Spirit was sooo strong so we had him kneel and
pray right there and ask what path he should take and after the prayer he
paused and said.. "This is the path I am supposed to take..." I don't
think I have ever been more happy! It is so cool to see the Spirit work inside
someone like it did with him! So he will for sure be getting baptized Sept. 15!
:) After that we ran back to Patterson and had the party for the Young Single
Adults! That was great! Of course I had to do something embarrassing while I
was there... we were all playing a game and we were sitting on chairs in a
circle and I (thinking I am all tricky) am leaning back on two legs of the
chair... and BAM! Fell backwards and gave everyone there a little show! My
skirt was flying everywhere! It was great! hahah You would think I would learn!
After that we came on back to my area and Sister Webb went with Sister Morrison
and I stayed with Sister Spencer! It was good to be back home!
Sunday! Well Last day at church in
Fardale! So it was really good! Our investigator (the children’s book author)
came! :) It was really good to look around the ward and feel like I
have done my purpose here! :) I felt at peace! Then after church we were able to
study then go over to see a 10 year old girl who isn't a member
and we taught her a great lesson about prayer! She will be baptized real
soon! Then we went to dinner at another member’s house... they cooked us steak!
Lucky right? Then we came home and waited for the transfer text...
then at 11:40 at night I got word that I will be getting transferred!
ahh!
So that is why my mind is
racing right now... I just don't know what to think! I can't believe I
am leaving this area... these people have become my family! I love
them all so much! But I know that the Lord needs me somewhere else
and I will trust in Him... because He knows what is up! :) I will
know where I go tomorrow... sooo I will hopefully let you know as soon as I can!
If not, I love you all! And know I will be somewhere in Jersey! :) (Pray
I get sent somewhere that feeds me as much as here! haha jk!)
Have a great week! :)
Our investigators...the one below is getting baptized!
