Hey family!
So my heart burn
has gotten much better this last week. That has been SUCH a relief! I still
have it sometimes, but I have been trying reaallllyyy hard to eat better things
and I just don't eat at all after 8 pm. It has seemed to help a ton. I sometimes
still get really bad stomach pain, but it doesn't last very long and that is
also going away slowly! So all is well. No need to worry about me over here! I
am doing just fine. (:
My new companion's
name is Sister Robinson and she is so great! She has been out for almost 5
months now! It is so crazy though because she has almost been out for 5 months
and that is how long I have left on my mission... haha I really like having a
younger companion though. It helps keep me motivated and it helps keep me going.
Young missionaries have such great faith and such drive to work so hard and to
see miracles. So I think it is a really good thing that I am companions with a
younger missionary at this stage in my mission! We have very similar
personalities and so it has been a lot of fun! I am excited to serve with
her!
JACKIE GOT BAPTIZED
YESTERDAY!!! It really happened this Sunday. It was so awesome. Man I just
stinking love being a part of these incredible people's conversion processes.
When Jackie came up out of the water she had the biggest grin on her face. She
put her hands in the air and said, "I did it!" haha it was the cutest
thing ever! Then when she came out of the font we were in the bathroom waiting
for her with her towel and she tells Sister Robinson and I that she wants her
son and her daughter and her husband to follow her! She was crying and you
could tell by just looking at her that she knew she had made the right
decision. She was so happy. I love Jackie so much and I am so grateful I got to
experience this with her. I feel so blessed on my mission to teach these people
who are SO prepared. I feel like they teach me so much more than I teach them.
I am one lucky missionary, that's for sure! (:
This week has been
a little bit crazy again. We found out that we do have an infestation of bed
bugs... I have never seen so many before in my entire life. SO GROSS. I was
flipping out... hahaha We had to call our landlord and they have to have
someone come in and spray our entire apartment. But for some reason our
landlord hasn't called us back to let us know when that is going to happen...
weird. We really want to just get it over with as soon as possible so that we
can kill the eggs before we have a whole other round of bed bugs... I guess bed
bugs are one of the hardest bugs to get rid of. Just terrific... hahaha I
DEPISE THESE BUGS.
Miracle of the
week! Sister Hindman and I had contacted this guy at Dunkin Donuts one time and
we wrote down the address to the church and the time church is at because he
said he wanted to come. Then just a couple of days ago Sister Robinson and I
ran into this guy again. We invited him to come to church on Sunday and he said
he would. I told him that we were going to hold him to that promise. I honestly
wasn't expecting to actually see him in church, but HE CAME! I seriously
couldn't even believe it. I feel like that never happens! He seemed to enjoy
church and told us that he would be coming next week! We are going to stop by
his house this week and start teaching him hopefully! (:
So things are going
good for me! Life as a missionary is crazy, but so completely worth it! I am so
grateful for this gospel and for the example that our Savior has set for each
of us! Thanks for everything you do for me fam! Best family ever. (: I hope
that you all have a great week this week!
LOVE YOUS
TO THE MOON & BACK! WE GOT THIS!!
Love,
Sister Woodland
