I'm the saddest ever... I'm leaving College Park the promised land....
*Crying* I love this place with my whole heart. And the work was
popping. Like crazy. I can't talk about it a lot or I get salty but I'm
trying to trust the Lord and his servants and move forward to faith. I
guess it's kind of a good thing that he thinks that I'm ready for
another challenge? That hopefully I've accomplished my work here? I know
that my life was touched forever by these people and I hope in a small
way I did the same. But at least I'll be back! J-a is getting
baptized on Saturday right in time for my birthday! Best present ever!!
So I'll be back and we'll get to go to the temple with her.
This
week was definitely very bomb. The schedule was filled and we just
really enjoyed our last week together. General Conference was
incredible. I loved the focus on overcoming trials and the Plan of
Salvation. So many phrases were targeted just for me and gave me the
courage to move on to this next portion of my mission. We have to keep
an eternal perspective in all things but sometimes I just get caught up
in the moment. But Conference was definitely refreshing. On a mission,
it is one of the few events that we live for. You get to crave the
gospel after awhile. Conference was amazing.
Highlights of the week!
~J-a,
F-, and T- all came to Conference and chilled with the homies.
We had snacks and pillows and blankets. It was a party. College Park
ward represented!
~J-a had her baptismal interview and she passed!! So now I have a wonderful reason to come back on Saturday!
~Sister
Russell and I had some extra time so we decided to pray and see what we
felt like and we felt impressed to get out and walk. Down Greek
Park.... haha.. so we saw these sorority girls outside painting this
poster and we stopped to talk to them. They were super sweet and we had a
good discussion about religion! They said they were still trying to
figure themselves out... But we gave them candy and a passalong card.
They had a good contact with the church. Success!
~F-
shared his testimony with us of how the gospel has made him a better
person haha! It was adorable. He's made so much progress and is so
welcomed by the ward. When Elder Uctdorf was talking about how we need
investigators in the church he was just beeming.
~
J-a is so proud to be getting baptized. She's been telling all of
her 50 year old friends to come. Hahaha she's friends with all of these
moms. It's hilarious.
~KT fell in love with Elder
McDonald and that was hilarious. She asked if it was her new missionary
in her cute Asian accent. She said she'd dump her boyfriend if it was
LOL.
~We taught an incredible Plan of Salvation
lesson to J- and G-. They're dating and god's plan just
resonated with them. It is my favorite thing ever to see it just click
in someones mind. It is a testimony builder to me that the premortal
existence is so real.
~ We had a pancake party for
M&M's and we had this random guy from our phone contacts show up.
We just invited a bunch of random people and he came and loved it! They
will be teaching him next week.
~B- and T-
are loving the Book of Mormon. Tyra told us she wants to visit the
temple as soon as she can... We are so sad we won't be able to go with
her.... one day..
Oh man
I don't want to go.... but God has a plan and I'm trying to trust him
in the best way I can. I love you all!! Tell me what your favorite talk
from conference was and why!
