Hola
familia! Wanna hear something crazy? I'll have been on my mission for 6 months
on Thursday! Wuuuuuut? 😲
So
this past Tuesday we had exchanges. I was in the stls area with Sister Kirby
again. During the day when we were about to go tracting we got a text from one
of their investigators out of nowhere asking if we could meet. Long story short
she's on date to be baptized on the 17th! They hadn't been able to meet with
her for weeks and now she's on date! It was really cool!
Thursday
was probably one of the best days of my life. Not really, but on Thursday I was
able to drive! It was amazing! I hadn't driven in almost 6 months. The reason
why I got drive wasn't great though. Thursday night we were at the senior
couples apartment and Hermana LeMaro got a fever. She had been kind of sick and
nauseous all day and at the end of the night she got a really bad fever and she
didn't think she could drive so I got permission to drive home! It was the
best! I love driving!
On
Friday guess what we did? Absolutely nothing. We stayed in all day since
Hermana LeMaro was sick. Sister Daines and I cleaned the apartment and read the
book of Mormon with a couple people over the phone. That was about it. I didn't
go crazy. I was close though.
On
Saturday Hermana LeMaro was feeling better so we got to go out. We had a lesson
with one of our investigators, Pharaoh, which went pretty well.
On
Sunday it snowed and snowed and just kept on snowing. We went to church and I
got to speak so that was fun. I spoke on the Light of Christ. We also had a
music number that Sister Daines, Hermana LeMaro and I sang in with some other
people in the ward. So there you go mom. I'm using my talents... After I spoke
and we sang there was supposed to be 2 other speakers, but they cut sacrament
short because of the snow. Honestly being from Utah it wasn't that bad at all,
but being in Virginia there's like no plows so the roads weren't super
safe.
We
had a video call lesson with Laura, one of our investigators, and she's now on
date for the 29th of December! I'm really excited for her! She's really
awesome!
This
morning instead of starting P-day like normal we were asked to go out and serve
people around us from 8-11 and then have p-day from 11-9. We got to help a few
people brush off their cars and shovel their driveways. I loved it! I loved
just serving! We got to help a few people and they were all really grateful. It
was awesome! I could have done it all day if it weren't for the fact that I had
turned into a popsicle by the time it was 11. (:
We
also built a snowman and played in the snow with a guy in our ward and his
daughter. It was fun.
Love
you all!
Love,
Sister
