Not only has this week been up and down but after district
meeting on Tuesday we had a real life human roller coaster and it was
aaaamazing! Put the chairs two by two in a row, sat down, and enjoyed the ride!
Killlerrrr! I got a video of it but it's waay too big to send so you'll just
have to wait until I get home. It was like a real roller coaster though, with
the nerves and thrill and screams and everything! EXHILARATING. That kept me
pumped for days. Still makes me laugh thinking about it. I have an awesome
district. Three of the five elders going home this transfer are in my district
and we still manage to have wonderfully spiritual meetings so it's nice. Only 2
of them are trunked out of their minds.
We met a wonderful woman named Sara this week! She isn't
interested in learning about our church but she welcomed the service we offered
so Friday afternoon we found ourselves in her front lawn doing some yard work
together! It was so much fun. We are like bff's now and she even took us out to
lunch after and suggested that we go shopping together sometime haha She's
hilarious and the most honest woman ever. Someday, her and her family will be
baptized and be able to be together forever! That's my prayer for her.
We actually did lots of service this week. Since the weather
is nice we have been spending lots of time outside. Last p-day we all played
soccer together and it ended up pouring rain on us! It was so much fun! Who knows
what we'll do today..looks like rain again! Lots and lots of rain. Hopefully it
doesn't flood again this summer. As much as it helped the community grow closer
together last year I'm sure people would get super p.o.ed about have to rebuild
for the second time..no bueno. Oh well whatever happens happens!
This weekend was Stake Conference. President Eyring, Elder
Holland, Sister Burton, and Elder?fromthe70 did a special broadcast from Salt
Lake to ALL the stakes across Canada and it was so neat! It was personalized
just for Canadians and felt like the whole time they were talking directly to
me. There was even a bit where Elder Holland I swear was looking right into my
soul!!!! The conference was focused on missionary work being the work of love
for our eternal family. It was wonderful!! Lots of revelation. I had my handy
dandy notebook out and took lots of notes. The little girl sitting next to me,
Elyse (11), noticed that both Sister Smith and I were writing thoughts down so
she took out her iPod that she'd previously been playing Angry Birds on to also
type out some thoughts she got! haha it was cute. She asked me all kinds of
questions because as she explained to me she's "having anxiety about
God" lately. She'd become quite fond of me by the end of the
conference that her mum invited us over to their house for supper! They weren't
in our ward but we got permission to go any way and it was loads of fun!
Have a great week!!!
I love you all so much!
