We were able to spend a lot of time in our area this week
which was awesome!
Tuesday was definitely an adventure. I first must say that
our car read 109 degrees that day, so it was hot to say the least. But we
survived! And we saw so many miracles along the way. One miracle was when we
were trying to visit a less active member. She unfortunately didn't answer, but
we saw two men standing in the driveway of the house next door. We decided to
go and give them a Because He Lives card and when we introduced ourselves, they
told us that they were deaf. Sister Durrant became very excited because she
took ASL classes in high school and actually wants to go to school to become an
interpreter. So she started talking to them in sign language and we could feel
the spirit so strongly. They both took a Book of Mormon and said that we could
come back to visit them! We are so excited to see them again.
On Wednesday, we had zone conference. Zone conference is
probably one of the best parts of being a missionary. It was amazing! This was
the last zone conference with President and Sister Weston and they both talked
to us a lot about change. Sister Weston told us that "As you build the
kingdom of God, God is building you." And in order for him to do that, we have
to be willing to change. I loved that because it can apply to not only
missionaries, but to anyone in the church. As long as we are doing our best to
strive to change and become better each day to build up God's Kingdom, He will
bless us.
Saturday was kind of a strange day, but a great day! In the
morning after Trail Center Training, we went with a few other sisters to
Harold's Koffee House for breakfast. It's the cutest little diner right down
the street from the Trail Center and the food was so good! Afterwards, we
planned for next week and then we ended up going to a family reunion with Bob
and Lucy. Don't worry, we didn't go to party. We were there to help Clara, a
really good friend of Bob and Lucy's. We had gone to her house earlier in the
week to help her clean for the reunion and she asked if we could come. She is
so sweet! It reminded me a lot of our Nemelka family reunions with tons of food
and games. Even though we were there to do dishes and help clean up, we still
had a lot of fun!
Also, the College World Series for baseball started this
weekend. Apparently that's a big deal. I wish I could say more about
it, but I'm sure I'll be learning. It should make this next week pretty busy! I
hope the rest of you have a great week. Love you all!
Unfortunately, I
wasn't lying.
We found the coolest
tree ever! World peace... for the children.
Face masks for

We hit four months!
