I have been on 2 exchanges in
the last 7 days. It is so fun to take time to go to other sisters' areas to
pirate their ideas, meet their investigators, and get to know them as Daughters
of God a little better. :) I went to Sister Harrison and Smith's area both
times, with Smith first. I love to see the ways that people interact in
different situations. The high light of both exchanges was Serenity- a 7 year
old who can't wait 3 weeks to turn 8 to be baptized. Her grandma is a member
but her parents aren't. She is a skinny little, quiet, red-head, and the apple
of my eye!! hahaha. I forgot how much I love to teach children until we taught
her the plan of salvation on day and the gospel of Jesus Christ the other. I
felt like I was in my element when I was explaining to her the importance of
following God's commandments. I am super grateful for the time that I got to
teach her. I don't know why I am explaining this so much but... it was a
highlight of my week. :)
We had zone training meeting
and mission leadership council this week. I did a training on faith, and how we
can not only use it to strengthen our knowledge but also our power. I really
feel like it was mostly for me! I need to apply the things I know and I will be
more successful. It didn't go as well as I wanted it to but I really like to be
in front of a full room of missionaries and feel of the great cause the Lord
has set before us! :) Woo! Being a missionary is the greatest thing!!
The zone leaders gave us a
commitment to improve our numbers by 2 each week ( meaning work with two more
souls each week ) and we are doing it! I am actually proud of where we are at
right now. I need to fine tune a few things, but I feel like this next 6 months
is the time to sprint!! I feel it! Hahahaha. I am just super motivated and
happy and just really ready to get down to business!! :)
We are really working on having a member with us all the
time! I love getting to know people between lessons. Everyone's conversion
story is so unique! I love this ward. I am going to be so sad to leave!! But I
know I have a home to come to here! :)
