WHAT'S UP.
So things are goin
great! Once again it was another quick week... haha I feel like the rest of my
weeks are going to be "quick weeks". They seriously just seem to go
by soooooo quickly. Monday's roll around and I can't even remembered what
happened throughout the week. There is so much to do in a day. Okay... I am
going to try and think reeeaalllly hard about what has happened since last
Monday...
- Okay
so I am going to make a list this week... haha So first, Sister Pexton and
I had to give a training in our Zone Meeting on Tuesday about Companion
Unity. We decided to get a little crazy because we are trying to pump the
missionaries up about missionary work. So we went out and bought these
super cheap camo shirts at Walmart. We were wearing normal clothes at the
beginning of our meeting, but when it was our turn to give our training we
ran out and changed into these shirts. So it was fun. hahaha I think the
other missionaries got a good kick out of it. Our mission president and
his wife really want each companionship in the mission to love each
other... so hopefully they will all want to be unified because we wore
camo...(; Plus I just really love camo!
- Next.
I went on my first exchange this week in Princeton! It was fun to go there
especially since I had been there SO many times when I was serving in
Hightstown! Hopefully the exchange went well... (: haha I sure learned SO
much from the sister I got to go on exchange with. She is an incredible
missionary! Also... Sister Hindman is one of the Sisters we cover!! I am
super excited to serve around her again. I loved being companions with
her! I feel like all of these exchanges are going to make the transfers go
by even faster... So this could get crazy. Also they make you extremely
tired... hahahaha I love it! (:
- We
got to teach Cody this week about the Restoration. It was soooooo good. (:
He is so stinkin quiet though... I feel like we can never get him to talk.
So we are trying to work on getting him more engaged in the lessons when
we teach. It is also really hard because there is this random guy that is
ALWAYS at his home with him and his mother... And the mom says that this
guy is just a friend, but he is not a good influence at all. So we are a
little worried what might happen because of this guy always being around.
We are going to try to get Cody and his mom to members home to teach them
there so that we can have the spirit there to teach him. We were able to
invite him to be baptized on April 12th and he said YES! He knows that he
needs to make a change in his life and he wants to know that this is true.
We are going to have to meet with him 3 times a week to get all of the
lessons in, but I feel like seeing them three times a week will be really
good for both Cody and his mom. We are so excited for Cody! (:
- Alright...
Last thing I wanted to tell yous this week was that I learned how to make Chinese
dumplings at some of our investigators house. The mother invited us over
and told us that she would teach us how to make them. They turned out to
be a lot harder to make than we thought they would be... hahaha IT TOOK
FOREVER TO MAKE THEM. Then while we were making them, as we were rolling
out the dough we kept finding BUGS in the flipping dough... hahaha I was
like...uuhhhh... I think this is a bug... haha But we couldn't just not
eat all of the dumplings that she made us... All I kept thinking of while
we were eating them was how many bugs I was actually eating. SO GROSS.
Then last night I woke up and I did not feel good at all. I got sooo sick
in the middle of the night. I threw up everything that I had eaten
yesterday. It was super fun. I even told Sister Pexton that it would be so
funny if we got food poisoning from the dumplings... And I did....But it
wasn't funny at all. haha I felt like I was going to die, but I feel a lot
better this morning just a little weak. But I think I threw up so much
that I just got it all out of my system and now I am good! (:
So that basically sums up my week. (: I
am glad that things are still going good back home! I will keep everyone in my
prayers! Also... I am super jealous that I won't be able to go to the Payson
Temple Open House... But I am so excited to go to that Temple when I get home!
Yay! (: Thanks for everything you guys do for me every day! I really appreciate
it sooooooooo much!!! I hope that you guys have another great week! (:
Love,
Sister Woodland
p.s. I
want it to be 70 degrees here.... -_-
