Hello!
This week has been INSANE.
Just so everyone knows. It started off pretty uneventful with P-day and
the normal stuff. We had some people cancel appointments, but it wasn't
anything we couldn't handle.
Tuesday was super
normal too. We had district meeting, and I gave a training on making
every single person you talk to feel the love of God. Whether they
accept an invitation or not, we need to help them feel the light of
Christ and the love of Heavenly Father. I also talked about making
contacts meaningful and personalized, cause sometimes it's easy to fall
into the rote things that you say. I thought it went well, and Sister
Wolterman assured me that the Spirit was strong, which is all I could
ask for. :) Also, we went tracting for 3 hours. It was awesome, and also
hard. We met a lot of people and had some funny experiences. We gave
out 13 copies of the Book of Mormon. :) It was great! Then we had dinner
with this super funny old couple and did some service.
Wednesday
was pretty normal. We were able to see an investigator who we hadn't
been able to see for about four weeks! Also, she came to church
yesterday! It was super exciting to see her there. We went on exchanges
that night, and at about 9:45, I get a text from Sister Wolterman,
saying that President Orgill now wanted us to cover the Liberty Park and
Cristianitos wards as well as the Marblehead ward.... What??? So now we
are covering the three Talega wards. Woah. It's been a little bit
crazy.
The rest of the week has been kind of a
blur, with meetings with Bishops and Ward Mission Leaders, while still
trying to do everything we need to do... It's been crazy, but fun.
People keep sending us texts like. "We're praying for you" or
"Philippians 4:13" (Which is "I can do all things through Christ, which
strengtheneth me." We just kind of laugh, and say thank you. We
appreciate the prayers and support. So we are really busy, and we will
never have an excuse to be bored or not busy.
We spent 8 hours in church yesterday, which was... an interesting experience.
Despite
all the difficulties and the trials that we know will come with
covering three wards, I am so excited to serve these people. They
haven't had sisters in their wards for two and a half transfers. I know
that Heavenly Father needs us there, and he would never give us more
than we can handle. I am excited to see the miracles that will come.
I'm
out of time! But I love you all, and pray for you often. If there is
anything I can do for you, please let me know. Thank you for your love
and support!
Love, Sister Wood :)
