Bishop taking a nap before breaking the fast.
Hi everyone,
Shout outs! Happy Late Annvesary Billy and Savanna and Ashlin and Micah! =)
Savanna and Billy I got my array of packages! I love the cookies and my huge box! Sister Leavitt I love my gluten free pretzels and pens, tabs, and highlighters. Now I can really get to work.
Grandma Hansen thanks for the card. I love it.
Mom Hi
Ok- Moscow is a small well larger than BYUH college town. It has a Walmart so we are closer to civilization. =) We walk a lot and we cover the 6 singles wards. It is a lot of meetings on Sunday. I like it though! I am learning a lot about how the Church operates. Always fun. I really love all my bishops. They have this genuine charity. It's outstanding. Bishop Miller is leading the way in teaching the other wards about focusing on how to help individuals come unto Christ. He is amazing. The singles are so into feeding us and taking care of my diet needs. It is so astounding their expression of love. The Fa'anunu's fed us last night. We talked about faith with them. It was amazing the insights you can receive as you discuss the principles of the gospel. Try it out this week. Look for opportunities to discuss a scripture. See what happens. I have had such a cultural experience here in Moscow the last week. Meet with a sweet Indian couple who prepared us traditional Indian food to later go to a lesson, with a couple from Micronesia, who feed us a feast. We were over whelmed at the recognition of those here to feed us as the missionaries.
This last week has been amazing. I am learning and changing so much. I can see the Lord's hand in my life more clearly than ever before. On Thursday I had the most Spiritual experience I've had on my mission in a lesson with a new member without a testimony. He was informing us that we were going to be lead astray by the prophet and apostles. I felt this overwhelming conviction and I bore powerful witness of these men. I know with every fiber of my being that Thomas S. Monson is a living prophet today and that his counselors and the 12 are men of God. They have a divine calling. They will NEVER lead us astray. I will follow them. I know through prayer that we can know that these men while mortal are called God and receive revelation to lead us in a day where we need to know how to face the prevails of our time. I know that is work is not a fairytale. God has a plan for us. He gives order to the the chaos.
We don't have any new investigators this week. that's ok. More tracking. I love meeting people. It's amazing to plant seeds of truth with them. Please share the gospel with those you interact with. I know it is of great worth to you but as you share it your conviction of the truth will grow.
Ok Jenn is a recent new member. She is the third member of our companionship. She takes where we need to go, feeds us, goes to lessons with us. She is just amazing. She took us to the Farmers Market here Saturday. Was such a neat experience to run into people we've knocked on their doors. It makes me smile. Ok if you go somewhere cool Jenn collects postcards. I need one from Vegas to give to her- Mom?
My favorite quote is from me this week when we were at a lesson with Dominic, a grad student from Nigeria. I said, "We have a pumpkin time." He looked at me like I used a huge word with no meaning. It was nearing 9pm when we need to be back in our apartment. So like Cinderella we too have a crew few. I explained and he just laughed and smiled at me like crazy Sister missionary.
We had 6 investigators come to Church on Sunday. I feel my love growing for each person I get to know. It truly is a work based on love. It has relevance to everyone no matter your situation in life. It only enriches.I see it changing peoples lives for the better here.
Love you all. This work is true and I will give my all to it.
