Hiiii
So that is super scary about G-ma Chris. That lady better be careful! I
am glad that she is doing better now though. I will definitely keep her in my
prayers! You people better be careful over there... (: Time just keeps moving
by so fast. That is crazy that the school year will be over soon. It is also so
crazy that everyone is so grown up now. When did all of this happen!? It is so
weird for me to think about sometimes... haha It'll be fiiiiinnneee though! It
is all good in the hood... WAIT I'm not in the hood anymore... (;
So this
week was definitely a busy week. I feel like we have spent SO much time just
driving around in the car. We have had a TON of meetings this week. And to make
it a little harder we are the South part of the mission so it takes us a good 2
hours to get to Morristown for our meetings. So it basically just ruins the
majority of our days when we have meetings. I am tired of being in the car. We
have to go to Morristown one more time this Friday and then I think we are okay
for at least 2 weeks. (: hahaha But despite the many meetings we were still
able to work hard and have a good week. We have been focusing this week on
getting our area more organized so that we can implement all the things
President Taggart wants us missionaries to be doing. So we were able to get
things figured out so that we can move forward and see success with some of the
new changes that have been made. President Taggart is definitely an inspired
man and I am grateful for all he and his wife do for us! (: I just want to talk
about this man and women we are teaching right now. I just think they are so
amazing! They seriously are such a miracle. We had Regional Conference on
Sunday and it was broadcasted in English in the Stafford, NJ Chapel, which is
about 40 minutes away from where we live. We wanted Mike and Robyn to come to
church this Sunday, but it is always hard to get investigators to church when
church is farther away than usual. But they told us that they wanted to come!
We asked them if we could get a ride with them because we have used so many
miles this month driving everywhere. They were more than willing to take us.
Plus this way they couldn't not come to church because they were our ride...(;
haha But it was so cool on our ride back home after the conference was over.
They both learned so much from it and they were so grateful for being able to
go. It was so cool for me to watch them interact with other ward members. Mike
was fellowshipping the ward instead of the ward fellowshipping him... IT WAS SO
AWESOME! They are two of the nicest people I have ever met and they are ready
to find what is missing in their lives. The only thing right now that would be
holding them back is that they need to get married. But it was a miracle
because on the ride back home we were all talking about what we had learned and
they were both asking so many different questions and one of the questions they
brought up was what it meant to be "sealed". We were able to talk
about it and the spirit prompted us to let them know that in order to be
baptized they have to first be married and they can just get married civilly
and then a year after their baptism they can have the opportunity to be married
for time and all eternity not just til death do you part. You could tell that
is what they both really want. They want to do things the right way. AAAH. I
just stinking love teaching Mike and Robyn. Mike reminds me so much of Grandpa
Chris. (:
This week has been really good. We got to go on our first exchange with
the sisters for this transfer. It went pretty well. We are over 6 sets of
sister missionaries which is more than usual so this transfer is full of
exchanges! haha It will be good! It will help keeps things busy. (: Just
hopefully I won't get too exhausted... I love going on exchanges with the
sisters though! I learn so much from them! We are going to be working on
putting more of our investigators on baptismal date this week. Which will be
good! Things keep moving forward here. This is definitely God's work and He is
in the details of it. I am so grateful that He is because we couldn't do this
without Him. (:
It
is finally starting to look like Spring! <3
I
hope that you guys have another great week! I will keep yous in my prayers.
Thanks for everything you do for me! I appreciate it soooo much.
LOVE
YOUS TO THE MOON & BACK!! WE GOT THIS!
Love,
Sister Woodland
