Week
#3 – Saturday, June 7, 2014
"There is sunshine in my soul
today!” That is the perfect title to this last week! Also, it's the only song we all know
how to sing in Spanish. So.....we sing it ALOT. Well, actually just
THAT line. Sooooo...all the elders are really annoyed with it. But I
can't help but sing it when there's sunshine bursting out of my soul!! Ha, ha
I forgot to tell you that last week’s
devotional was with Elder Nielsen from the Quorum of the Twelve!! :) So that was pretty cool! We
were hoping and hoping that we'd see another apostle, but it didn't happen this
week. Crossing my fingers for the next! It's still a-okay because after Sunday devotionals,
we get to watch some old movies or talks. These last two weeks, I was able to
see two AMAZING talks by Elder Bednar. Boy, that man is certainly an
apostle called of God. He is awesome!
Well, I know school is out....scream
and shout, finally Summer’s here...ha, ha (Jeremy I knew you'd love a little of
that HSM.) So, I have some
homework for you folks. See if you can find "The Character of Christ"
talk by Elder Bednar. I'm not sure if you can even find it because it
might just be for the MTC, but if you do find it, write me and let's talk about
it. This talk is honestly life changing. And I'm not kidding. So
good!! :)
Highlight of my week was hosting for
the new missionaries coming in on Wednesday. Oh, that was fun! The best part
was that I got to host Kayleigh Hill…oops, I mean Hermana Hill! We played soccer and lacrosse together,
so seeing her was the BEST. I got to show her the ropes and all that… so
that was lovely.
Earlier that day was sort of weird.
My compañera had to go to the doctor with another Hermana, so I was without
her for almost 4 hours. Doesn't seem that long at all, but it felt like
forever!!! I guess since being 24/7 with her, and then being without her, makes
me feel like a part of me is missing. Yeah, weird…ha, ha but honestly, I've
grown to love each of these Hermanas and Elders so much. It's crazy how
the gospel can truly bring people together. We bear our testimonies to
each other so much, and I was thinking…that must be it--why we are so close.
Like you know after Girl’s Camp or Youth Conference when we bear
testimonies to one another and after the meeting, it's like we feel so much
closer and united. It's like that but every single day. Okay, maybe that sounds
cheesy, but I love it! I think
it's so true. I think sharing the gospel and what you believe brings the
spirit and love. It's wonderful.
So I challenge each of you to share your testimony to a loved one.
It doesn't have to be Fast Sunday, you can share your testimony
whenever. Then write me about it because I'd love to hear. :)
Also, I think my district is starting
to not take me so seriously anymore. I'm just being too sarcastic. OH,
NO! I'm turning into Dad....ha, ha! It also doesn't help that I am super short. I don't
know where all these tall people came from!!?? Honestly, everyone must've eaten one of Jack's beans and
grown so tall because sometimes I feel like an ant. But hey, it's okay, because
guess what? Tengo gozo en mi alma hoy! Ha,ha!
