And that's what happened this week. Heavenly Father poured His blessings upon us!
So yeah, we had a really good week! All I can remember about our week is blessings from Heavenly Father! And a lot of fun and laughter with Sister Butler!
Before I tell you about my week, I am going to say a couple of things.
SISTER PASCUA DUZON IS COMING BACK THIS WEEK!!!! That makes me sooooooo happy! So be expecting pictures of her beautiful face in my email next week!
Speaking of pictures - We are emailing in the library this week and the computers are being annoying and won't connect our iPads so we can't send you pictures cos we aren't going to the office at all today to email.
And lastly, we totally have ELDER M. RUSSELL BALLARD coming to the mission on Saturday! How cool is that?! We also have Elder Christensen, Elder Kearon and Elder Johnson coming too! It's going to be such a great week :)
Now on to this week...
Monday was a pretty chill day. We went to the Library to email and we were definitely meant to be there. We ran into 2 people that we were teaching and had lost contact with. One of them set up an appointment for Wednesday and was totally chatting with us too. It was cool. Then we went to Asda and in our weakness, we both bought Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream. It was really funny actually. We were walking to the checkout and we happened to walk through the Ice Cream aisle. I said to Sister Butler, "I hope that Ben and Jerry's isn't on sale." and as we walked past, there it was, half price!!! We didn't say a thing to each other, we just opened the freezer doors, took a tub each and carried on down the aisle. I know, I am weak... But it was so good!!!
Tuesday was a really good day! In the morning we went to Family History. First of all we had a chapel tour with one of our investigators. She has been reading the Book of Mormon every day since we started teaching her a few weeks ago, and she is already in Alma! She's amazing. And she has such wonderful questions too. I love teaching her, and I love answering her questions. And boy do I love her! She's amazing. She actually asked one of the members to submit her husband and her parents to the temple so that there work could be done. She's not even a member and she wants it done! How amazing is that?!
Then we helped out with Lunch for the trainers meeting. So we totally get to know who all the trainers are each transfer! hahaha... The Perks of Being a Wylde Green Sister. Isn't that just the name of the book that we should write. I think it would sell... At least among missionaries anyway hahaha.
I think my highlight of the day was definitely helping out with Seminary in the evening. It was really fun! We played a scripture mastery game with them that Sister Butler used to do when she was in Seminary. And what made it even more fun is that the group of youth are really competitive and they all were so desperate to win. I definitely really enjoyed it.
Wednesday again was a good day. We just have great days! Although we were so busy that we didn't have time for lunch, so we ended up spending that time with a recent convert that we went to visit. I think that she needed that extra time that we spent with her though.
Then we had dinner with a lady in the Ward that we are teaching. She makes the best, but super hot, curry! Man, I love it so much!! It's sooooo good!
Then we went and saw one of my favourite people in the whole world, she is a less active lady that we are working with. She just makes me soooo happy! I love her so much.
So because I talk to much and I try and email everyone back, I have totally run out of time to tell you about the rest of my week... But remind me next week and I will tell you about it all!
It really was an amazing week and we saw some amazing miracles! We have found some great people to teach and we had 2 people at church which was just awesome and to be honest it was really unexpected.
I am so excited for this next week... And it's transfers so who knows where I'll be emailing from!!!!
LOVE YOU ALL!!!!
