Hi Ya'll.
So this week was a
little bit crazy! So much was going on this week. On Wednesday and Thursday
Sister Rigby had to go to Specialized Training which is for the new
missionaries and because we had the switch with mission presidents they haven't
had this meeting in a while. So I got to go on exchanges with Sister Page and
Sister Mendoza. It was way fun to be back with Sister Page for a little bit! It
was cool for both of us to see how much we have grown over time. It was good to
catch up! She goes home in 2 weeks! SO WEIRD. I feel like all of the
missionaries that I have served around my whole mission so far are all going
home! It is so crazy. Anyway, so I wasn't able to be in my area for those two
days...which was a bummer, but what can you do! We did get to watch MEET THE
MORMONS! It was seriously SUCH a good movie! I loved it! I especially loved the
"Candy Bomber"!!! Aww man I just love that sweet little old man! He
is so amazing! I think everyone should take the time to go see that movie! It is
so great and it really shows people who we, as Latter-day Saints really are! It
knocks all of the misconceptions that people have about Mormons! GO SEE IT IF
YOU HAVEN'T! (:
We were able to
find 2 new investigators this week! They are both Haitian! There is seriously
such a HUGE Haitian population over here! They are both really awesome and I am
excited to work with them! We are going to be working a lot with Isaiah this
week! Our Bishop is pushing us to have him baptized on October 26th. We have
tried to talk with him about this being a little too soon. He mostly wants to
do it then so they can have a "linger longer" after the baptism... It
has been a little stressful, but a lot of the ward members are working with us
to help make sure he is ready to be baptized then and then if it isn't to back
us up if we need to push the date back! The cool thing about the whole
situation though is that we will be meeting with his WHOLE FAMILY! His parents
agreed to let us teach all of them this week! I am way excited about it! They
seem like such an incredible family who have strong religious beliefs in the
Savior and His teachings! It would be so amazing to see this whole family
accept the gospel! The Lord definitely places miracles in our paths every
single day! We just have to have the faith to act on the promptings the Lord
gives us so that the miracles can take place. Other than that not too much new
has happened this week! It has been a little bit slower due to the meetings and
Sister Rigby and I getting sick! But we are both on the uphill and we are
feeling TONS better! Which is soooo good! We finally had to just take a break
yesterday. Our bodies were killing us and we knew that if we didn't take a
little time for ourselves we were not going to get better! It was a good idea
because we feel so much better now! This next week is going to be
soooooooooooooo busy! Seriously we have so much to do and we have so many
people to teach! I am so excited to work hard and see the many miracles that
will happen this upcoming week!
Sorry for the short
email this week! I hope yous have a great week as well! Thanks for all the
emails and mail! BEST. FAMILY. EVER. (:
LOVE YOUS TO THE MOON & BACK!!! WE GOT THIS!
Love,
Sister Woodland
