I think Sister Allen and I are losing our minds. Like completely! Sister Allen hit her 1 year mark this week and you would think we got all this under control since we have both been out for a while, right? Wrong. Our minds were shot this week haha. Everything we have said has been off. We kept forgetting our scriptures or the phone or our planners… and in lessons it's like we can't remember anything. Our bodies are acting like they are 80 years old! YIKES.
Things are getting frustrating around here. It gets really old after a while when you don't have anyone to teach. The football boys had to cancel because the member who invited them got in a car crash on the way to pick them up! Dang Satan. People kept canceling or rescheduling and it's so annoyinggggggg. It's hard to keep the faith and trust that Heavenly Father has a purpose for all this. But I still do it. I still do what we are supposed to and trust that we will see miracles. Gosh this mission stuff is tough work, let me tell ya!
We had interviews with President Mullen……….. Interesting. I don't know how I feel about him yet. He was super fast paced and I didn't feel a whole lot of love from him. I know that he is in a huge transition state but it's hard to switch from President Smart who I ADORED and go to this totally different guy. Things will work out but it's a little difficult.
So we have been meeting with a lady named Denise since the whole time I have been here. She has been inactive for about 20 years and another missionary found her in the parking lot and got her address and since then she has let missionaries come over (that's been within the last year). Anyways, she got cheated on and abandonded by her husband and left with four little chillins so she got burned pretty bad. She is really bitter toward the church and angry with God, but since we have been coming over her heart has been softened completely. So anyways she came to church yesterday! She was walking up to the church and I saw her and my jaw dropped i think to the floor. I was not expecting her to come, but she loved it and she said she is coming next week. That was a testament to me that even though we don't have a ton of investigators, that we are still helping people change their lives and come closer to Jesus Christ. That was a pretty cool miracle yesterday :)
There is unfortunately not much else to tell this week. Sister Allen and I were talking about our prelife… And we got on the subject of rolling our eyes and I was saying how much of a stinker I was.. WAS being the key word right? ;) But anyways, she said "I think I rolled my eyes at my parents… Once. I wasn't a very good child.." Hahaha I just laughed. That should tell you how completely different we are :) She is seriously an angel. And I'm……not. Haha :)
Well sorry this is a shorty! Hopefully I'll have loads of miracles to share next week :) Let's all pray for that, yeah? Okay well have a great week and I'll talk to ya later!
Love you!
Sister Anderson
