Family!
So a lot has happened this week....
- First things first. WE GOT IPADS.
So that is weird... Also, I only get to use it for like 6 weeks... haha So
I won't really have a lot of time to get used to it. But
they are fun to use. It is nice to have them so we can show people videos
and pictures. It helps make things more interactive! Our mission is moving
up in the world!
2. We had an incredible lesson with Mike and Robyn on Tuesday! We
finished teaching The Gospel of Jesus Christ and after it was over we invited
them to be baptized. We were a little hesitant about inviting them because they
aren't married yet and they would either have to get married first or stop
living with each other. But the Spirit was SO strong in the lesson and after we
asked Robyn broke down in tears. She and Mike looked and each other and then
Mike high fived her and said, "Let's do this"!! WE WERE SO EXCITED!!!
Mike then said that he had some concerns though... We were both a little bit
nervous when he said that. He said that he knows they have to be married before
they are baptized and they are both willing to do
that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MIRACLES PEOPLE. MIRACLES. We talked about how our Bishop can marry them and
that this can be very simple! They are both very excited!! It was one of the
coolest lessons I have had my whole mission! (:
3. I am now 21 years old and that is super weird! I had a good Birthday!
The members were super sweet! I didn't really tell anyone that is was my
birthday and everyone got mad at me for that... haha But everyone surprised me!
We had dinner at a members home and they bought an ice cream cake! It was so
nice of them! Mike and Robyn bought me an "Alex and Ani" bracelet and
it is so pretty! They also bought us cheesecake! Our Bishop and His wife made
cake too. It turned out to be a great day! (: The people took good care of
me!
4. We got a Senior Couple FINALLY!!! Their names our Elder and Sister
Ross and they came from Payson, Utah. I don't know if they know any of our
family... I haven't actually asked that yet. They only lived in Payson for a
year though before coming on a mission. They lived in Wyoming for 40 years
before that. We are so stinking excited that they are here though! This ward
really needs this Senior Couple!
So that was about the majority of what happened this week! It was
definitely an eventful one, but also I really good week! It starts
the beginning of my last transfer which is a really weird
feeling! I am excited though to work hard and have fun this last transfer!
Thanks for everything you guys do for me! I hope that all of you have a great
week!!!
LOVE
YOUS TO THE MOON & BACK!! WE GOT THIS!
Love,
Sister Woodland
