Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey.
So
things are still a tad bit stressful, but everyone is taking everything on like
a champ and things are working out great! (: SO MANY MEMBERS want to see us
because Sister Trias is leaving so we have been eating soooooooooooooo much
food. hahaha We have like 3 lunch appointments and three dinner appointments a
day. Too much food. It has been keepin us pretty busy. I ain't complainin. (:
We will be dropping her off on Thursday. :( I have been on exchanges since last
night with Sister Mortensen! She is an awesome missionary! She is almost done
training and she seriously just shows me up in everything she does! She is
great! We will be on exchanges with each other until tomorrow morning before
meetings because Sister Trias and the other sister will be at the Statute of
Liberty and won't be getting home until late tonight. It has been fun so far!
We will be covering both of our areas for a little. Sister Mortensen is Spanish
speaking sooooo.... I just smile and nod when we talk to people... hahahaha So
at the moment we are just working on getting the area ready for the next
transfer and Sister Trias to go home. Our area is doing okay right now. We have
about 5 investigators and 3 of them are new so we are just trying to get to
know them better right now and figure out how interested they are in learning
about the Restored Gospel. I really want to be out contacting and finding new
people to teach, but I also know that we need to balance things right now and
make sure Sister Trias is ready to leave. So I am trying to get all of the time
organized and ready so that we won't be as stressed with all the things that we
have planned for this upcoming week. We are doing a "Mini MTC" for
the youth for all three Princeton Units. It was Sister Trias and my idea like
two months ago and I guess our ward really liked it because they wanted to do
it and asked if we could figure it out. So that is what we have been doing. I
hope it turns out well and that it helps get the youth more excited to do
missionary work. The youth will be coming to church in missionary attire and
will head to the Chapel where they will be assigned a companion (hopefully from
a different Ward), then they will be taught for 10 minutes about Church
attendance, another 10 minutes about prayer, and another 10 minutes about Book
of Mormon. Missionary companionships will be teaching them there. They will
then be assigned an investigator (who will be someone in the ward we have asked
to role play a random person). The youth will get a piece of paper with the time
they need to see their investigator and a brief description of who they will be
teaching. When they aren't teaching their investigator they will be in the gym
contacting one of us missionaries. We will be random people. Like some
missionaries are going to be "the hood guys", mom and baby, door
contacts, business man, etc... Whichever youth companionship can hand out the
most mormon.org cards
at the end will win! Then the 1st counselor in the mission presidency will talk
for a few minutes about missionary work at the end! It should turn out good and
be fun! I just hope the youth really enjoy it! (: We will be asking for
referrals after as well from each of the youth! (: I send you pics of it next
Monday! So, the time that we aren't planning for that or with members, we are
outside contacting and door knocking and trying some less actives! We haven't
seen too much success yet, but I know that we will! (: I just have to keep
having faith in my Heavenly Father and working hard! Even though missionary
life can get really crazy at times, I love it so much! I really wouldn't want
to me anywhere else, doing anything else! Even during this crazy time! (: I
love this gospel so much and I am so grateful to have the opportunity to be out
here!
I hope
that you guys have such a great week! I LOVE YOU ALL TO PIECES. Seriously. I am
just so grateful for each one of you! Let me know if there is anything I can do
for yous...even if I am across the United States! (:
LOVE YOU TO THE MOON &
BACK! WE GOT THIS!
Love, Sister Woodland
