HI-lo
What a wonderful and
absolutely bonkers week!!!
We had Zone
Conference!!! Wahoo! I think one of my favorite quotes was, "Your weaknesses
were not just given to you; they were hand -picked and prepared for you".
I think why I love that is because I have seen a lot of my weaknesses lately,
but I have also been able to see my strengths. We are all SOOOO different
(thank heavens) and I am just learning day by day what makes me- ME!
We have been focusing
a ton on Returning Members and it is going really well! Last week we just got a
random text from a random woman on our member list saying. "Hello. Can you
come and visit me?" OF COURSE, WE CAN!!! It was so wonderful to visit her
because she loves the church, but she is too sick to come to church. We had the
opportunity to bring her a Come Follow Me manual and my heart jus soar as I got
to tell this woman who has felt so disconnected to the church that she gets to
study the SAME THINGS that the ENTIRE WOLD is studying! How totally awesome is
that?!? She is so excited!
I officially had the
best Sunday ever this week! Evelyn texted us and told us that she was bringing
two surprises to church! We saw her coming up to the bus stop holding surprise
number one, a dish for the ward potluck, and walking beside her was surprise
number two, her boyfriend JÜRGEN came!!! We were stoked because he is so cool,
and we have a great relationship with him, but he has not shown very much
interest in the church!
In the relief society
portion of Ward Conference, the woman teaching taught about temples. At the end
of the class she showed the video of the open house of the Italy temple and
tears just streamed down my face because it almost felt like Evelyn and I were
walking down the halls together and my heart was so full, and I just had the
most overwhelming desire to help her reach that point!
- I twinned with the
CUTEST LITTLE GIRL ON THE FACE OF THE PLANET! She ran up to me at church and
said, "Sister Reay! Sister Reay! Our jackets are matching!!!" My
heart almost exploded.
- Sister Magleby
turned 20 this week! We had a party (well kind of... as much of a party as
mission life allows!) I bought her a minion’s cake and I threw balloons at her
- It got wicked cold
this week, so I had to bundle up in my warmest scarf that was knit by the one
and only Sadie Connolly
- I got my little Christmas package full of
letters from the Young Women and the seminary class this week! It made me so
happy!!!
