Friday the sun finally came out. Well for a little bit that is. I
guess a little isn't all that bad. Saturday the sun came out for most
of the day as well. And Sunday it was shining all day!!
Monday: I hit my 8 month mark! We emailed and then Sister Halls took
me to a Mexican restaurant called Los Portales! It's really really
good! We then did some spring cleaning. We basically deep cleaned the
whole house. It was actually quite nice. I wrote some letters and then
we had dinner with one of the Dunn families. I made cookies salad and
brought that over. It was fun! We did family home evening with them.
It was a great night.
Tuesday: we had interviews with President Wilson. It was great to see
him. This was the last interview we will have with him because he will
be going home. It's exactly half of my mission that I will be getting
a new mission president. Well it was great. We got home around 3:15.
We then tried to visit some of our investigators but none of them were
home. It's been ongoing. So we decided to visit with Brother Lewis. We
read the Book of Mormon with him and answered some of his questions.
Tuesday night was amazing. We got to meet with Amanda who is our solid
investigator. I just love her. Her willingness to learn and to make
covenants with Heavenly Father is so strong. She has two kids who are
amazing as well. We taught her the 10 commandments and the lesson just
went really well.
Wednesday: we had district meeting. It was okay! And then after
district meeting we went to serve at the Haven. They are getting so
many donations that we have no idea where to even put them. It's sooo
crazy! But hey it's a good thing! We then went tracting in this
trailer park area. We met some wonderful people. Brenda and Rose, and
in some way or another they are all related! Haha! Small town
problems!! Well later that night we met a less active named Emily. She
is so sweet! She is just super busy with 2 jobs and school.! Crazy!
But we talked a little bit about the importance of church and invited
her to come. Later that night we had Amanda come to the church
building along with her kids to see what the church really looked
like. She enjoyed coming and even got a priesthood blessing by Bishop
to quit some word of wisdom problems! She said afterwards that, that
was the most warmest feeling in the world! (SHE IS JUST SOOO SWEET!)
Thursday: we had service in the morning. We then had a lesson
scheduled so we drove all the way out there and of course he wasn't
there, so we decided to visit some of our less actives. We visited
with one person from one of the families and they are just struggling
to get to church. And they live like super far away from the church,
but they hopefully will just realized the blessings that come from
church attendance. We then came back and did some weekly planning. We
didn't have a lot to do because either our investigators dropped us or
we dropped them because we couldn't get in contact with them. We had a
couple of lessons late that night.
Friday: we did a lot of more tracting until we headed to the later in
the evening to help with the young men and young women camp
fundraiser. We were helping make spaghetti for over 60 people!!!!
There was soo much spaghetti. It was really good too! We ended up
stayin to clean up as well!
Saturday: we went to help brother Lewis fix some planter boxes.
Hopefully his plants that he has will survive again! The pansies I
planted a while back haven't died but everything else did. It was so
sad! We then went tracting some more. We met a members cousin which
was kind of funny. Later that night we attended a baptism that the
elders were having. It was quite amazing.
Sunday: we had church and then we came back home and ate lunch and did
our studies. We then went with a member to see her mimi(grandma) and
her pop pop! They were so adorable. She even fed us dinner. We had ham
biscuits and crab quiche and some crab seasoning potato chips. The
crab quiche was okay, but not a huge fan! Well anyways.
This whole week I had a total of 15 bug bites or mosquito bites. Yeah
talk about itchy legs. I'm kind of done with the bugs!
I'm so grateful for the time that I have to serve the Lord. I'm
grateful for the things I learn and do to be closer to my Savior. I
know that the Atonement is real and that the Power of God is on the
earth again! I love y'all and hope y'all have a wonderful week!
Love,
Sister Pewtress
