#barf

it was a miracle my gag reflexes weren't triggered.

woof. me and sister young trauma bonded after ...so that was great.

 

other then that, this week was peachy.

actually it was bomb.

we found some new SOLID investigators.

it's so happy.

one girl refferred herself on mormon.org.

she requested a BOM and so obvs we were sent

but we had just given out ALL of our Book of Mormons

so we came empty handed

#worstmissionariesever

but this was her prayer:

"thank you, God, that the sisters forgot their Book of Mormon

so they HAVE to come back."

i can't wait to go back and teach her this week!

we are SO busy and it's making the weeks flyyyyyyyy

i'm just really grateful to have this time on a mission...

to learn, to grow, to meditate, to heal, to serve, to love, to observe, to feel...

to truly convert.

 

this week, we met some recent converts in our ward who have turned pretty anti. they come off suuuuper nice, and they are, but they whole time we were talking, he kept preaching all about the Bible and tried to act like I didn't know anything about it and that I don't live the Bible like he does? (#humility?) ....that it should take an entire lifetime of study just to "get it" and that I don't have time to read another book. ...that I shouldn't wear my tag and try and show the world that I believe in something. ...that I should change my mind because I am going to be held responsible for every person that "I" convert and that I'm going to have to answer to God.... that I will send Jesus Christ away when he comes to save me and ask for Joseph Smith? ...& SO MUCH MORE. I didn't try and fight him, bash, or prove him wrong... we just shared scriptures and bore our testimonies and left them with smiles and thanks. but the coolest part was the entire time he was condemning me, I truly felt the Lord's arms around me, and this scripture came into my mind:

 

".... I will be on your right hand and on your left, and my Spirit shall be in your hearts, and mine angels round about you, to bear you up."

 

I know the Lord is pleased with my efforts and I know this is His work.

His spirit fills my heart every day and for that, I am grateful.

I hope you guys are having a great week!

 

life is good. the work is better. god is best.

HAPPINESS IS:

skyping with your family on a mission.

seriously.

the best.

i love you guys SO SO SO much.

realized i didn't get to ask like 50 things I want to know.

esp to brookie. HI I LOVE YOU.

an hour just isn't enough time.

but i'm grateful i got to see you.

and Stonewall sounded SO GOOD.

yesterday was just the best.

happy mother's day to all my favorite mommas.

 

this week?

holy best week of FINDING, ever.

we found 11 new investigators this week.

SEVEN IN ONE DAY.

hahahahaha at the end of the day, me and sister young went over the numbers like five times because i felt like we were lying. but it was legit. and the best "numbers" day ever. we taught a ton of lessons and talked to a ton of people. yeeeee it was so fun. mostly because just about everyone that we invited to hear our lessons, ACCEPTED. 

#winning

#getonHFlevel

#theeldershateus

#carryingthedistrict

the coolest part is knowing that none of it is us. sure, we open our mouths and invite, but all of these people just have the most open heart and attitude and I know God has prepared them for a while. they are friends with the right people, who have loved them and set a good example, and helped share the peace that comes from living the gospel.

 

you are doing more good than you think by living what you know.

 

so to all of you, who stress about doing your part in the "hastening of the work", know that the kind of friend that you are to people and the way you love and serve them is what helps them accept your invitation. sharing the gospel comes natural when we are loving the people we associate with... but we can't forget to invite, too :)

 

this week has been a lot of fun. kinda super stressful because we have so much going on in our area.... but really, what could be better? we are going on splits almost every other day just to try and keep up. by the end of the day... I'M EXHAUSTED. but in the best way possible. totally get what you used to always say, dad..."i slept best when i was on my mission." haha i'm OUT so fast at night... i just can't wait to sleep in past 6:30.... next year?

 

me and sister young are getting along great. she is so funny. and we are quite the duo?

she's about a foot shorter then me and when we were in the library the other day and someone asked...

"is this your daughter?"

....um.

not sure which one of us should be more offended?

sis young because she looks SO....young?

or me because i look old enough to have her as my child?

 

or the other day we were in a lesson with one of our investigators

and every time sister young would say something spiritual or profound

our investigator would just say,

"ya, but you're just a fairy."

and wouldn't take her seriously.

hahahaha

 

so cheers to life with tinkerbelle.

i love you all

and miss you like craaaaaZy.

...still waiting for you guys to share what you've learned with me? eh?  #followingup #s/otoelderballard #ldsconf

she is actually hilarious.

first thing she said to me...

"i learned in my last companionship that i will never have to give a divorce if we both just read our scriptures and say our prayers every day. somehow that seriously works"

hahahahaha #missionlyfe

we picked up another ward, which has kinda been stressful because we were already so busy with 16th ward. but that's not even a real thing to complain about! our new ward seems great and has a lot of potential...i'm excited to build up their teaching pool and start meeting their families!

fun part?

we totally fell into a baptism this weekend. 

#thankselders

some reap and some sow, i guess?
