Monday: Great P-day! As a zone we had a BBQ by the Hudson
River... that was super fun! :) After that we were able to go to dinner with a
member and he bought me a present for my birthday! Oh it was funny! He calls me
Judy and it is a sweatshirt with Judy and a pic of Jersey on it! Pretty sweet!
Tuesday: We had Zone meeting! That was great! It was all
focused on Revelation and qualifying to receive it! Something that I think I
need ya know? Revelation as to what in the world to do with my life! haha! jk.
I think I have it alllll figured out! :) But after that we were able to do some
weekly planning then that night we had an apt with our newish investigator. We
had a good lesson with him. He is actually a Doctor! He is super smart so it
was more of him asking questions! But we managed to tell him about Joseph Smith
and it brought the Spirit in right away! :) It was cool to see the way the
Spirit humbled him... :)
Wednesday: We had the chance to go to Leadership Training!
It's a whole day were the Leaders give trainings and we role play all day! It
is for the new missionaries! It was super good because we didn't have to give a
training... we just helped with the role plays! It was fun and the Spirit is
always strong when you get a lot of missionaries into a room! After that Sister
Coulam and I were able to go and see a former whose son is actually a Less
Active and we were able to meet with them both and get to know them and we
should be seeing them next week! It was cool that they were both there! After
that we went to another Less Active and had a great lesson with him... he is
super struggling right now.. :( but hopefully he will let people help him :)
Thursday: We had the same training! So that took up most of
the day and after that we all got together and watched the new movie "Meet
the Mormons" AHHH! It was so great! Clears up so many misconceptions about
the Church! I loved it so much! :) If you can-Watch it!!!!! And then we did
some weekly planning! Woot!
Friday: I was actually able to go to Englewood and be on
Exchange with Sister Allen! She is a sweet sister and we had some fun going and
teaching people in her area... I honestly don't even remember their names but
it was a good night!
Saturday: After we exchanged back we were able to have some
time and we worked and then we went to the church and our ward put on an
International night with the Spanish Branch! :) IT WAS SO FUN! There was at
least 10 different countries represented and they cooked food and we ate it and
they danced! Wow it was so cool! I love Jersey! :)
Sunday: Well... It was my last fast and testimony meeting as
a missionary! Wow! Of course I went up and bore my testimony and started to
cry! AND I DON'T CRY!! My emotions just got the best for me as I reflected my
time as a missionary! I truly am grateful for this opportunity! After church we
were able to see a referral and then stop by some Less Actives that were super
nice and wanted to see us again :) So that was a great day!
So that was our week! Today we had an all Sisters p-day
(hence why we are late emailing) because the Sister Training Leaders put it on
and it was good... I gave hair and make-up tips! I am rusty and have to think
about all that stuff again! Weird... but it was fun! :)
I just know that I am so grateful for the opportunity I have
had to represent my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! I know and can stand as a
witness that He Lives! He Loves us! And that His Atonement is real. I am
grateful that I have come to know and feel the power of his Atonement on my
mission and know that it is there for me for the rest of my life. I am so
grateful for the chance I have had to allow people to feel and use His
Atonement as well!
Know I love you all very much! Next week I'll be inside the
Statue of Liberty on Monday so I don't know when I’ll email... but know I love
you all and hope you have a good week! :)
