Its such a winter wonderland here. Its so cold! but its fun!
Tuesday: was super cold. -30 status! we went to this cute senior missionary couple, Sister and Elder Crockets homes and had a yummy soup for lunch and taught Cami. She gets baptized on the 28 and im so excited! We then drove to the Airforce base and taught Kelly and Ian! They are a part member family and Ian is not a member. its super hard to teach them cause all they do is talk, talk and talk. sometimes they start talking about inappropriate things and its just drives the spirit away. its sorta frustrating but yeah. I love going on base!! its like a dream come true! lol. jk. so you know i told you about Harriet? maybe i cant remember. but we finally got into her and we taught her the Plan of Salvation.. yay! But that sad thing is, is that shes not progressing and shes not really believing it. she keeps trying to teach us the Buddhist way but not really listening to us. its hard, but i love her, shes such a HOOT!
Wedneday: we basically did nothing this day. Sister Greene left to Bismark for a trainging meeting. shes a STL and im obvi not cause im a greenie , so i went with sister Ewing/Will. the cool thing about that was that s. Will was one of my comps in the MTC!! I love her so much!! it was so fun to be comps for 24hrs again. we then went to a Less active, Sister West, shes awesome! we taught her and invited her to come to church. she didnt end up coming cause of work but stuff happens and hopefully she can come again next week. After that Our other lesson canceled:( so we went trackting in the freazing cold and almost died... ok, i might of overreacted but it was stark cold!
Thursday: Since i was with the two other sisters, they started weekly planned to basically it was another chill day for me yay! lol jk. we went to mcdonalds(cause theres no food). we went trackting again. we then went to the church and Elder Dewitt gave me blessing. im so greatful for the priesthood! then i tried to play basket ball, then E. Dewitt came in and showed me up. he got 14 3pointers in a row. sooooo coool. s. Greene came back and we went home. Sister Cleveland called us. she was super sad and just worried about alot of things. i love her!!
Friday: we had district meeting! i love district meeting! Elder Crocket is a hoot. He reminds me of my dad with his jokes.. what a hoot! We weekly planned for a while. i started to not feel good so i took a nap. we then went on base again for dinner. then we had a lesson with a Less active. Shes having a really hard time with a divorce and raising 2 kids on her own. with one autistic. I feel so bad. Shes always in my prayers.
Saturday:Sat. was my 1 month mark. 17 more to go!! but whos counting... we went to a baptism for another companionship. For a 12 year old girl. She was so cute. after that our two lessons canceled.... sometimes its hard to get in with people. we finished weekly planned, then went to the church to that the Zls ad Sis Greene could plan our Zone Training meeting. we then drove to base to have dinner! we then had a lesson so we drove to her house, but when we were parked had just had a feeling that we souldnt get out of our car, so we canceled. i dont know what couldve happened but you cant ignore a prompting. we then drove to s and b. petersons house(our ward mission leader) and hung out there. Were like bffs with s. peterson!! love that lady!
Sunday: since we have 1:00 church we went out tring to find investigators, we found 2 hopefuls. Isreal and Connie!! i hope everything goes well with them this week! Church was good. it was Fast and testimony meeting! after church Liz( a less avtive) canceled again:( so we went to the petersons house for dinner. They had a non member friend there so after dinner we simply and quickly taught the restoration. We also read the book 'you are special'. Lucy was open to learning and we might meet with her again sometime. Lucy is from Zimbabwae (how ever you spell that) and super nice. we then had a broadcast from E. Nelson. It was really good.
as for today, were going to the post office, Panera Bread for lunch, Grocery shooping, and then Sheels.
SO get this... A member from one of the wards here is like super rich and loves donating to the missionary fund each year. But he wants to make it more personal this time and is taking all of the missionaries in Minot to sheels and giving us each a Benjamin(100$) to spend there.. like how super nice of him!!!!!
I love this church and the blessing we receive from it! What i learned this week is that we have to fully have faith in Him and trust Him fully!! I dont have much time but I just love and miss you all. rely on the Lord. Council to Him. Cry to him "Lord save me!" He will always be there!
