So this past week was AMAZING!! We are teaching some
absolutely miracle people that have been prepared by the Lord to hear us. They
already have testimonies of the truthfulness of the gospel and it is such an
honor to teach these people who have such great faith! One is getting baptized
on January 18th and the other will probably be getting baptized the next
weekend. One of the people is Spanish speaking and has Spanish speaking kids
and so we get to attend the Spanish branch for sacrament meetings! We went last
Sunday (during fast and testimony meeting) and decided not to use the headsets
and listen to the translator. It's amazing how you can still feel the Spirit
when people are bearing their testimonies, no matter what their language is! It
was funny because near the end a man was speaking and said something funny and
the ENTIRE congregation laughed and Sister Swain and I just looked at each
other. Haha.
SPEAKING OF SISTER SWAIN! She just found out that her best
friend from home got engaged and she was freaking out because she won't be
there for the wedding. This is a picture of her post-freakout stage.
She just can't handle life right now. Haha
Luckily, we get to go to the Jordan River temple today!!! So
maybe she'll feel better then. I'm pretty excited! I love temples! I hope we
get one in West Virginia someday.
So I'm fully regretting the lack of piano practicing I did
as a kid. I desperately wish I was better at it. BUT, at least I can always
start again.
Something super weird that happened this week was that we
accidentally walked in on a sushi party on Saturday night. We were contacting
some people who haven't come to church in a while because of health problems
and when we knocked on the door they invited us in and they were eating sushi!
So they were like, "Hey Sisters! Come and eat sushi with us!" And we
did. Except mine had no seaweed wrapper (which I found out that I hated last
Tuesday) and no fish. It was pretty much rice and vegetables in a soy wrapper.
BUT IT WAS BEAUTIFUL.
Anyways, this week has been incredible. I'm so happy and I
love teaching others about how much Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ love them.
I know that Jesus Christ lives, and I know that because of His Atonement we can
all be healed, and we can each return to live with Them again.
Have a wonderful week! Also, hey Dad, what's with the lack
of emails this month? I MISS YOU.
