Shammy Shakes
Hello Everyone!
I hope y'all had a good week! It was
nice and toasty here in Florida. It hit 90° one day which was crazy! It was
cold and rainy the next day so typical Florida winter hahaha
This week was super busy. We had
district Meeting and then interviews with President Lee, trade offs, and lots
of crazy lessons!
Tuesday we had trade offs with our
STLs and I got to stay in Arlington with Sister Smith! She's so sweet and we
had a really fun time! We were doing our golden hour that night and we had some
crazy miracles. We were walking down the street and we saw this older lady
sitting outside. We walked over to her and told her who we were and asked if we
could share our message with her. She told us she was feeling sick and was just
waiting for her grandkids to get off the bus. She didn't seem very interested
at first but we kept trying and just talking with her and we ended up
sharing most of the restoration! We prayed with her right there on the street
corner and she invited us back to share more this week! It was awesome! After
talking with her we were headed back the other direction and saw a lady that
was sweeping her drive way. We went up and started talking to her and she told
us her name was Liz. We asked if we could share our message with her and she
said we could and asked us to pray for her before starting (which was awesome)
and then we shared the whole restoration right there with her in her garage.
She told us she had gone to an LDS fireside 6 years ago before moving to
Florida where they talked all about the Book of Mormon. She said she felt it
was scripture and really felt the spirit at the fireside. We gave her another
copy and she invited us to come back in a few days so she could learn more. She
was SO prepared to hear our lesson and it was a miracle filled golden
hour!
Trade offs with
Sister Smith :)
We were doing service as a district
this week and we went and ran to McDonalds for lunch. When we got there we
found out the Shamrock Shakes are back which was basically a highlight for the
week. I'm not going to admit how many shakes sister b and I have had this week.
We also spent a TON of time visiting members and LA this week. A lot of them
were struggling with health and family issues so it was good to get to see them
and lift their spirits. We had a really frustrating lesson with one of our
investigators named Mary. It just seems like she forgets everything we teach
her and just get defensive and yells at me like every lesson. We love her so
much but aren't sure how to help her progress. We had a member with us and
after we left we all just sat in the car like "what even just
happened???" Shellie (this member who is amazing) took us to get shamrock
shakes to make up for the wacky lesson hahaha
We went and got our
hair cut by one of our favorite ward member’s last pday, Sister Dains! She served her mission here in JAX and just moved back a few months ago!
We helped a ward members daughter
move out of her house, organized a different members closet, raked another
members yard, and bagged food for farmshare! It was a service filled week,
which was super fun.
Tomorrow I'm giving a training in
district Meeting about Heavenly Father so I've been thinking about it a lot and
studying different scriptures and conference talks and I am just so thankful to
know that God knows me and he loves me. He hears my prayers and cares about
what I do and who I become. I found this really awesome scripture for my
training in 2 Nephi 2:24 which says
"But
behold, all things have been done in the wisdom of him who knoweth all
things"
I'm glad I don't have to have it all
figured out I just have to trust in Gods plan. He'll take care of everything. I
love being a missionary so much and I love getting to share this amazing
message with people everyday!!
I love y'all!! Have a blessed week
<33

Some of our favorite members the
Webers gave us these cute stuffed animals for Valentine's Day! ❤️
-Weekly Moss Moment-
This week we were visiting one of our
favorite kooks/less actives named Lisa. We sat down in her living room and said
a prayer before starting the lesson. Sister b was saying the prayer and halfway
through Lisa leaned across sister Bs lap, grabbed her bag off her shoulder,
pulled out her hand sanitizer and started using it. Sister B and I both opened
our eyes during the prayer, looked at each other, tried not to laugh, and then
continued on with the prayer and lesson. Haha I guess she couldn't wait. The
moss really gets me sometimes
We made a fruit
pizza for Valentine's Day! It was yummy and we shared it with the YSA sisters
that live in our complex
