Okay so I have a TON to say this
week! This week feels like I am reporting on a month! So I'm going to have to
do it day by day again this week I think.
First of all I haven’t gotten mail
in over a week! :(
Monday our plans got changed so we
just went around and shopped. We
then saw B and talked and got a cone (like the snowcones
the small is huge) It was so good to
hang out and talk with B! :)
Tuesday we FINALLY got to go to the
temple! It was an incredible experience. While sitting in the chapel before I
decided to read out of the Book of Mormon and when I grabbed it it fell open to
D&C 25 and I was going to turn back to the BOM but I decided to read it. It
is the revelation given to Emma Smith and it felt as if the Lord was speaking
directly to me. It is one of the strongest feelings of the spirit I have ever
had!! When sitting in the celestial room later I prayed for some answers to
prayer and felt like I needed to read over that section again. As I grabbed the
scriptures it fell right open to that page again. I knew that God was watching
out for me and it was such an answer to prayer. The section was even stronger
in spirit the second time and was exactly what I needed to hear to be
comforted. And I saw Mitch which was crazy! That night we ate dinner with
the H’s and it was so good! Tater tot casserole again! :) And then B came out
with us and it was an incredible night! We had so much fun but at the same time
felt the spirit so much!
Wednesday morning I woke up super
sick. It was not fun! I guess after such
a huge spiritual experience I was hit hard. About 3 I was thinking I need to
eat but I know that I really can’t eat anything I have without it making me
sick and I prayed to know what to eat and for it to not make me more sick and
the moment after I finished B knocked on our door and came in with saltines and
7up. It was such a tender mercy!
Thursday morning I took it easy
because I still wasn’t feeling perfect. That evening B came out with us and we
had another great evening. We celebrated a birthday for a fellowshipper and it
was so fun and then he told us he hadn’t celebrated his birthday for 8 years
since he left home at 15 and thanked us! It was such a neat experience.
Friday we went to lunch with B at
Brick Oven which was super good! :) The rest of the day was HARD. It was super
hot and labor day weekend so no one was home and we basically tracted for the
whole day. That evening we finally had an appointment and it was so good! And
then we visted a ward mission leader and wife we love and they really cheered
us up! :)
Saturday we went over early to the H’s
to study with B and they made us pancakes and ebilskivers for breakfast :).
Then we found out my tire had popped :( But luckily B wasnt working so we went
out with her to visit people :) We then went to J’s baptism! I love her! She
was one of our investigators last transfer who we taught all the lessons
to and was on date but was in the stake we lost in our area. I'm sure I’ve
talked about her before! Then we went to a really good dinner with a
family who’s daughter is about to enter the MTC tomorrow :) Then we got my tire
fixed by the fellowshipper we had the birthday for. He is so willing to help
with everything and totally went out of his way but it was a tender mercy. Oh
also that day we went to visit a family that in my two transfers have never
been able to get in the door and when he opened the door he said We are moving
so I don’t think we will set up a return appointment but you can share a
thought. So I shared Alma 26:27 and she (who has so many health problems) Said
she was about to give up and that scripture was just what she needed and set up
a return appointment!! :) I was so happy! It was such a testimony builder that
I am in the Lords hands!
Sunday was another hard day but we
did a lot. We had really good spinach tortilla enchiladas for dinner! :) YUM!
Then yesterday we were supposed to hike a waterfall but were
sadly cancelled on but we had such a fun day!! We shopped and then to start
PDAY we then went to Deseret Book. B has wanted to go on a mission and by getting
to know us and be with us she has decided to go and be better and now wants to
do everything for us. And then we got the huge snowcones which were
INCREDBIBLE!
Oh and christa. I think someone beat you with cookies! Debbi
makes the best cake mix m&m cookies!! :)
Gotta go but I love you so much! SOMEONE PLEASE WRITE
ME!!!!!!!
Love,
