A pleasant greeting to my fellow citizens.
HOly cow! Where dId the time go? May is already a blast from the past and June is approaching faster than a cockroach on a summer night.
First off, CONGRATULATIONS to Eloise, my sister. Graduating highschool is a breath of fresh air from the scent of cooped up young adults in a room full of textbooks and lost homework assigments. You have been given the anecdote to Senioritis.
This week was a little crazy because we did divisions twice and somehow we now have 6 mattresses in our match box bedroom. I dont know.
This week we got a new branch president and I know that he will be great. He always accompanies the missionaries and he is one of the most humble men that I have met. Also, his wife and daughter are darling.
As far as the missionary work. this week was a little discouraging and my companion was really sick one day. We have been trying to get the papers for a marriage for some investigatores for a looooong time and we got a message that they truck that had their papers had broken down and my companion said " whew, satan must be super tired. Hes working really hard" haha so true! It seems like there is opposition in 99% of the things we do some days. But then I think about how many miracles we see.
Like when we are out knocking doors and a young mom lets us in and we help her do laundry and she invites us over for lunch and she has three adorable kids and a nice husband and she listens to us. Or when a member in the ward stops by the house of an investigator and brings fruit. Or when the stars are extra sparkly in the crispy night time. Or when there are so many people at Stake conference that it is standing room only. I love being a missionary. I still have a lot to learn. But I love these people. Every day I understand them more and more.
Sunday in the night time we knocked on a door and a lady comes out. We start talking and we have the opportunity to share our testimonies with her. I know that we have a prophet who talks with God and who recieves revelation for us. I know that the church that Jesus Christ established is here on the earth today. I know that God loves us.
