Well I'm already a month and a half
into my mission! Crazy how fast that went by, right? Anyway, not a lot went on
this week because my poor companion, Sister Craig has basically had a constant headache
for like the last week and a half... We called the mission doctor about it and
he was like "Oh just take the next 3 1/2 days off!" Are you kidding
me? But I was willing to do it if it would help my companion get feeling
better, you know? So from Wednesday night to going to church yesterday, we were
just chilling in the house. It was kind of the worst. Luckily we got some
church movies to watch like "Finding Faith In Christ" and "The
Mountain of the Lord" so the weekend wasn't totally boring. But it
was still pretty bad.
Something that I've noticed this
week is that God knows exactly what I need to work on. I was given the
assignment to do a training at our district meeting on the importance of
members in missionary work, which I'm not very good at doing, and Sister
Craig and I were asked to do a last minute lesson on charity in the Gospel
Essentials class, which is the Christlike attribute I want to develop while I'm
on my mission. It was interesting for me to teach those two topics because I
feel like I learn so much more when I teach! So that was cool...
Ready for my crazy story? So
this kid in the Boiling Springs ward wanted to know what mine and Sister
Craig's first names were. We didn't tell him because we didn't feel
obligated. So what's his natural reaction? To look up my name and mission in
Google so he "stumbles" across my blog. He came up to Sister Craig
and I in church yesterday and he was like "Amy... Sarah..." It was
crazy. Don't worry though! It's not creepy because we're actually pretty good
friends with him.
Lastly, Sister Craig and I went to
dinner at the W's (members in my ward) house last night and they live on
this legitimate farm! They even had donkeys there! They understood that we're
both from the city and let us pet and take a picture with one of their donkeys!
It was the greatest!
Well I hope y'all have a great week!
Until next week...
