| The District December 2013 |
Our Ward choir sang in Sacrament meeting. We sang our best for Him; pa rum pa pum pum! Haha... well the good news is that even though it was challenging, some in the congregation cried during the last song. So hearts were touched! That's the whole point! :) Ooh. I also got to talk on Sunday. I was super nervous. I basically ended up just teaching the Restoration and then telling everyone to shape up. I've never really been one to be bold but uh... it was pretty bold. I enjoyed it, haha! I also got to tell the first vision. I'm pretty sure that's my favorite thing in the whole world to do. :)
I led a tour last night with one of the new Sisters. She's so incredible. Anyway as I was doing the last bit, the part where we really testify, I had sorta planned to say something differently than I had said it before, and then it came out even more different... but it was really good. :) It turned out way sweet and was what I needed to hear! It was a very cool moment for me. :) These (Mormon Battalion) men were going through such difficult times, and yet they turned outward and served others the whole time. What an example! :)
Aww, yesterday our Ward mission leader gave us all presents and dinner. Awww! They said that they didn't think they were going to have enough money that month, but then the Lord blessed them with extra work so then they had more than enough, so they wanted to give some back to him by serving us. It was the sweetest thing! Their kids are adorable. They also have a 12 year old daughter, Joyce, with cerebral palsy. She's absolutely incredible and so happy and so wonderful. :) I love that family so much!
We had Zone Conference. It was super incredible. :) We learned SO MUCH and it was exactly what I needed. They taught us all about how to teach! Yay! :) We've been applying it and we've already seen and felt a huge difference. :)
Oh man. So we got to go shopping at this Mediterranean/International Market last Tuesday. We all bought a random candy bar from some other country. I bought a Criks. It was basically a kit-kat bar but SUPER DELISH. :) Sister Frampton got a banana something... it was like banana laffy taffy only coated in chocolate. (Mom you'd love it!) Sister Bermudez got something pastry-like and it was in arabic so we don't know what it's called, and Sister Benfield got a Lion. Lyon? I dunno but it was good too. We also bought pita bread and hummus. :) Yum! and bananas - 3 lbs for 1$! Today we're going to another random market like that. It'll be another adventure. :D I really love being with the other sisters. There's no room in the apartment but it's so much fun. :) I wouldn't have it any other way! ^_^
On Saturday we had a Mission Christmas Party! The ENTIRE MISSION was there. It was so much fun! We got to sing a bunch of hymns together and then President talked to us and it was super powerful. Then afterwards we had Battalion, and then we had to get an oil change on the car. As we were weekly planning in the park (waiting for the car) we talked to someone that apparently the elders have taught. He was going on about how he felt like only rich people could be "Mormons"... ha that's a laugh. So we had a sweet lesson with him. Then we had the ward Christmas party. TWO of our investigators came! They ended up talking to each other and it was super sweet, they even planned on visiting each other... and having coffee together... ok so it wasn't the best, but... they both came. So it's a step. :)
Tonight we're going to a less-actives home and we're having tamales! Then we're going to go caroling with the district. :) Yaaay!
Well, that's about all this week. I love you!
