Yea, we had an awesome weekend as a trio with our missionary
Genevieve R. :) she is a Laurel in our branch and wanted to see what life
was like as a sister missionary! We picked her up on Friday after school and
she was with us until last night. It was so fun having her with us! She said
that we pray a lot haha! She really wants to serve a mission now :) me too!
Haha it was fun to have that reminder of how awesome our work really is as
misisonaries. Sometimes I feel like it is the norm but really...we're weird
haha. But really awesome at the same time!
We went to a baptism on Saturday for Omar :) a
cousin/nephew of the Q. family in our branch. We visit them on Sundays
(the whole family). It was a beautiful baptism :) while waiting for the
confirmation, they asked us to give a message. Well...their elders should have
done it but they didn't show up. And I was with 2 missionaries who had never
done it before. You know what? Best baptism message I've ever given! Genevieve
started and did amazing! It was really powerful. At the end, Omar's mom hugged
us and said that we had made her day. Love being a missionary!
Good news and bad news....good news! J. came to church! We
went over and A. (lovingly yet boldly) told him that he needs to go to
church. He was saying that he was too busy. It wasn't an invitation though, it
was very direct that he needed to be at church. He came! Bad news....he hated
it. He said he felt so peaceful but that he didn't belong there. We'll see what
the future holds with him.
I spent last P-Day making cookies! It was fun. We took them
to a lot of people. I have about 6 cookies left in cookie dough form...saving
them for a good ( bad ) day. Or when I'm craving cookie dough haha!
Ah! I had too many emails. Next time I start with this
letter haha. Last thing, Diana gave her testimony at church yesterday! She
told me yesterday morning that she was feeling nervous and didn't want to do
it. She and I talked on the phone for a few minutes and she did do it. It was
so powerful! She is amazing! I cannot wait to see all the people that she is
going to touch :) love her to death.
Talk to you all next week! Miss you!!
