HEYYYYYYYYYY EVERYONE
WOW ok this week has just
FLOWN.BY. Seriously it was JUST Monday like yesterday. It has been a great week though! A lot has happened!
On Wednesday we had a super fun Relief Society Activity with the theme “Drops Of awesome” (a story thing that has been going around Facebook or something - really cute and I highly recommend that you look it up). Our recent convert Pauline was there and also a less active named Sister Trevino that we have been working with was there too! It was great to just unite with the women in the ward and to build those relationships. Plus the whole them was just sunshine and lemons and it was so so cute.
On Thursday we had MLC! It was wonderful as usual! Oh my goodness I seriously cry at any missionary meeting we have because I just love my mission. I was doing so well throughout the whole meeting I was like “look at me I’m emotionally stable I haven’t even cried once ha ha yay” and then we sang Battle Hymn of the Republic (which isn’t even a very tender song?? Idk) for the closing song and it just got to me and I cried during the closing prayer. That is one of my favorite hymns and I love the part where it says “as he died to make men Holy, let us live to make men free.” I just want that to be a theme for my life!
On Saturday we had a powerful lesson with a less active/part member family (part member families are GOLD MINES btw) names the Duenas’ and the husband is less active and the wife is not a member. We taught the Restoration and the spirit was so strong, they were really listening and engaged in the lesson. So she is now a new investigator! Miracle! They really are just the cutest young family.
Yesterday we had dinner with an AWESOME member family named the Cottons. They are seriously. so. FUNNY. Wow I just love them! We got to talking and found out that he works in film production! So I told him that I was a film major before my mission and we talked about that for a little bit, and then they told us that they used to have a YouTube channel as vloggers! They would vlog about their family and their channel was named “The Cotton Show” (I KNOW SO CUTE RIGHT, please look it up they are seriously hilarious and I can’t wait to watch their vlogs when I go home). So I ended up telling them about my vlog and they looked it up and it was all just really funny. It got me excited to vlog again when I go home!
FUNNY STORY:
So we are at this dinner with the Cottons, and their son Brigham (8 ish yrs old) is just telling us about his nerf guns the whoooole time, he wanted to show them to us so bad. He was having a hard time sitting through dinner and didn’t really want to listen to the message we had to share. So we told him that if he listened to our message, then we would have a two minute nerf war with him afterwards! Hahaha so he willingly and quietly sat through our message about blessings and miracles and then we had a little nerf war with him! It was sooooo funny, and Brother Cotton took a video of it! So I will definitely send that to you all.
I came across a scripture this week in my studies that I had just never noticed before. It is in Alma, right after Ammon had preached to King Lamoni and he became converted and repented of all his sins. It is a beautiful verse that just talks about King Lamonis experience:
Alma 19:6 says “the light of the glory of God, which was a marvelous light of his goodness--yea, this light had infused such joy into his soul, the cloud of darkness having been dispelled, and that the light of everlasting life was lit up in his soul”
Wow isn’t that verse just beautiful? I love when he says, “this light infused such joy in his soul” that the cloud of darkness over him was gone, and he was able to feel joy. What are some clouds of darkness that you are currently experiencing in your life? I invite you each to turn to the Savior. Turn to god. Whether that be through prayer, scripture study, improving your sabbath day worship, temple worship, serving others, etc etc, whatever it is you need to have your souls lit up with LIGHT. I know that Jesus Christ is the source of that light, and through him we can feel joy and peace every day of our lives.
We have another FHE movie night tonight which will be fun (17 miracles!) and also Sister Griffin is taking us to get pedicures today so it’s going to be a great preparation day! We all have a wonderful week ahead of us, so let’s make it GREAT! Love you all so so much!
