What an awesome week it has been! That's pretty much what it comes down to. Have a great week!
...
Just kidding. It really has been an awesome week. The weather has been
warmer than planned which is always a plus. Last Monday it was actually
warm enough to run outside. We had 2 great ideas last week, go eat at La
Cabana (Mexican place here in Royal) and go for a run. both great ideas
but when you put them together, we were both ready to die! well... i
can't talk for Hermana Heninger, she was probably fine.
This week at the Food Bank i had a good idea on how
to help them Be better organized in the section where we help out. Which
lead to us getting a demolition and cleaning project next week. It is
such a great place to be and I love serving the people. We also had the
chance to talk to a woman there who was helping out. Usually we don't
talk to her a whole lot because we are super busy. This week wasn't to
crazy and we started talking to her. By the end of our time there we had
been someone that she could talk to, asked us for our phone number and
said she might come to church, later that day she called us and asked us
some more info. Later that day she sent us a text saying that she knew
God had put us there at the Food Bank that day to talk to her. It was
pretty cool.
Owen, who got baptized back in September is doing
awesome. Since his baptism he had the opportunity to go down to the
temple in Tri-Cities! He loved it! He is doing really well! he himself
is a little missionary and will be the first person to jump in and help
or offer a Book of Mormon. He has also been working on reading the new
quad that he got for his birthday! it has been so fun to watch him!
Wendy is doing really awesome. Her kids are
adorable. Last time we went over was a combination of spiritual and
funny. She was making some dinner and so we offered to help. She was
making enchiladas. Thats easy right? She said to pour the sauce on and
we did. after putting them in the oven, she asks. should we have put
some tomato sauce in with our enchilada sauce... I have no idea, i have
never made them before. i didn't even used to like them! She then says,
oh man, they might be a little spicy. Then we realize that she bought
the hottest type of enchilada sauce as well! Man... It was spicy, i felt
so bad that it was and we all sat there and were basically crying
while eating it! But the meat inside was really really good! It was sooo
spicy. I can handle some spice, but it burned! Definately a learning
experience, and luckily she could totally blame it on us. But it was fun
because we read out of the Book of Mormon stories with her kids and
then after we had a really cool lesson with her. She has such a desire
to learn. I think we will continue to have fun together and hopefully
have great spiritual growth as well!
We had a really busy weekend. Running (sometimes
literally) from place to place. The Lord has blessed us with work to do
and the strength to do it. I love being a missionary!! Talking to people
and helping them learn about Christ and inviting them to learn for
themselves is the best way I could possibly be spending my time. At a
meeting this week, a scripture was shared that goes along with something
dad told me either in an email or before i left. It was in Alma 57:27
and it says, "Now this was the faith of these of whom i have spoken;
they are young and their minds are firm, and they do put their trust in
God continually." I thought about had Dad had told me about God putting
his trust in all of these 19-20 year olds to bring his words to the
World and how crazy that was if you really think about it. Well he has
put his trust in me and i have put my trust and my life in his. It has
been a really great week and i Know that God is a God of miracles and
always will be. I know that He loves us and is willing to bless us when
we are willing to follow him. Have a great week! I love you all!
