Hello
all! This week has been feather interesting and here I am to tell the tale!
Let’s start off at the beginning shall we?
Monday
evening was awesome! We had dinner with a member at the local Woodstown dinner,
it was amazing! Our waitress came over to give us the check/clean up and the
member asked her where she is spiritually. Before we knew it we had her
information and a return appointment! Such a miracle!
Tuesday
was crazy. We had district meeting as usual on Tuesday but we also had
interviews! we spent the majority of our day at the Vineland building. After
interviews is when it got crazier than ever. We had exchanges with the Medford
sisters, Sister Horan came with me and Sister Taylor headed up to Medford! As
Sister Horan and I were headed home we were involved in a car accident, never
fear though! Heavenly Father was totally looking out for us and we are both
just fine. I’ve got some whiplash and a few bumps and bruises but everyone
walked away from the crash. This ward is amazing too, the Bishops wife came
rushing to our aid and was able to help us get home Tuesday night.
Wednesday
we woke up and had plans to get out and go walking (since we don’t have a car)
but those quickly changed. We received a phone call from our vehicle
coordinator who gave us tasks we needed to complete this day, basically it was
a “this is your mission should you choose to accept it” type deal. It all had
to be done within 24 hours, so we got to work. We had to go to the department
and get the car released, go to the tow yard and give the tow guy the release
form, and then get it towed to the auto body shop 15 minutes away. This took up
most of our day in case you’re curious. We did find an awesome potential before
we went to exchange back though! She was so open to us coming back! Then we
went to exchange back and the hero of the last 24 hours, Sister Whitcomb, drove
us to exchange back. Well, we get there, only to find out that the sisters ride
had a transmission break down and they were going to be late, so we did
seminary with Heather. After Sister Taylor got back to us each of said at least
once that it had been a most interesting 24 hours.
Thursday
was not as interesting as the rest of the week. We did our normal Thursday
things, weekly Planning and such. We then got a ride up to the Storehouse and
went to the Whitcombs for dinner, again seriously my hero’s this week.
Friday
was also super chill, we had MLC (shout out to Sister Summers and Sister Walker
for driving up from Harrington, DE to get us to PA). It was a great meeting! We
talked a lot about obedience and living the gospel joyfully. The gospel is so
good! Live it, I promise it will make you happier than you’ve ever been! We
spent the rest of the day just talking with people in Woodstown!
Saturday
was great! We had the relief society craft day, TONS of nonmembers came and we
got to talk to one of them quite a bit. She was super sweet! We also had a
great time in Swedesboro after that, we got to see Jan! Because of health
issues we have been unable to see Jan for a few weeks, but she is as awesome as
ever! She wants to find the truth, and we are more than happy to be her guides!
We also had the award Christmas party! Can you guess what it was themed? If you
guessed #LIGHTtheWORLD you are right! Sister Taylor and I were in charge of the
program so we did the best missionary job we could! We had service stations and
did a little presentation of how to use Light the World! I hope you’re all
doing something to light the world this year! It’s a great time of season to be
charitable and loving! How does your charity never fail?
Sunday
we met with Maggie after church! She’s so amazing. We taught a quick lesson
with Kate and Sister Whitcomb and it was awesome! Maggie is progressing so well
to her date of December 23rd! Sister Taylor and I are so blessed to work with
her and to have her light in our lives! She is so excited about the gospel, and
it reminds me of how good the gospel really is. I just love it!
Brothers
and Sisters, I just know that Heavenly Father watches out for us. President
Kimball once said “God does watch over us.” I KNOW that that is true. He lives,
He loves us and He surely cares for us! He’s never too busy for us, and His
hands are all over our lives. Truly God is in the details of our lives! He
steps in when He needs too, and He shows us how much He loves us in the little
things He does for us everyday. He is always lookin out for us, because He
loves us and He is our literal Father.
I
love you all, I know God is in this work. I know Jesus Christ lives. I know you
are loved.
1 Nephi 1:20 “......But behold, I, Nephi, will show unto you
that the tender mercies of the Lord are over all those whom he hath chosen,
because of their faith, to make them mighty even unto the power of
deliverance.”
Much
love,
Sister
