It has been a very... snowy... cold... emotional rollarcoaster week... but what else do you expect serving in the Michigan Lansing Mission?
Monday was great! We had an awesome p-day getting Christmas cards... and yes we did do a self timer at the local grocery story (Meijer) and yes we did get weird looks. We also went Christmas shopping so a package is on the way! Then we taught T, I love her!
Tuesday We went finding for quite some time. We also got to have dinner with a member of the ward who had an AMAZING conversion story. I love hearing people's conversion stories because it reminds me of how awesome missionary work is. Also we taught P and she is really working to quit smoking
Wednesday we had a great district meeting and we got to have dinner with a ward member at the coolest retirement home ever. It used to be a super old home for "troubled girls" And so it has super cool long h always and stained glass and stuff. It was fun.
Thursday we saw T and she crushed all her cigarettes and started the no smoking program and she has been clean all week!! I am so proud of her!
Friday we had trade-offs. I stayed here in Grand Valley and we taught N. She is so cool and she even took notes on the Plan of Salvation. I just love her. Then we had lunch at a member who served his mission with the sister I was with's dad. Also we got to go to the Relief society Christmas party that night which was great!
Saturday we taught A and it was GREAT!! He was the guy we put on date like our first week here and the member we brought offered to drive him to church and everything. Aaannnd we may have gotten stuck in a ditch because it was really snowy... but Sister Robertson got out and pushed and we made it! #Heavenlyfatherstrengthensus Also a member took us to dinner and then we went to the largest Christmas light display in Michigan! It was fun.
Sunday was kind of sad... so I was pumped for church but then it got cancelled due to the crap ton of snow aaaannnd A dropped us, said he didn't want to be baptized... I feel like I have gone through a million break-ups on my mission. So we went door-knocking and it was so cold so I wore my batman pajamas under my skirt and coat to stay warm. Then a family fed us and gave us Christmas presents which was a huge tender mercy! The day felt off though and I know it is because we didn't get the sacrament... It is SO IMPORTANT!! I see a huge difference
Anywho that is about all... I love this work! Also I got lots of packages this week and I LOVED the letters from the Family in St. George! It was the best!
Fun fact: If you ever feel bad for yourself, read Mormon 9... Moroni went through so much so we could have the Book of Mormon. We are so blessed!
