Hello!!!
So short
email this week, our time was cut because the libraries were closed
yesterday to Columbus Day. Anyways, Sister Mitchell and I are both
staying together here in Madison Lake!! I am never getting out of here
but that is ok because I love it!!
"Now therefore go, and I will be with they mouth, and teach thee what
thou shalt say." - Exodus 4:12
I know this is so true because the only reason I can do
anything is because of the Lord. He helps me so much every single day
and I love feeling his guidance and his courage instilled into me to be
able to talk to anyone no matter who they are!!
"God grant me the serenity to accept the things I
cannot change, courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know
the difference."
I love this because lately I have been learning to
accept some things that are out of my control and focus on the things I
can change and I can make a difference in.
This last week there was a leadership training so
all the Sister Training Leaders and Zone Leaders got to go to Amish
country and meet the 3 Amish families that have joined the church. They
are incredible because they have been completely shunned by their
families, friends and the whole Amish community for joining the church
but they stay strong and keep the Amish way of life because they are
trying as hard as they can to share the gospel and be missionaries.
All 3
families have been sealed in the temple. They even have a little school
for just the children of the families and the teachers are a senior
couple. They teach them church mixed in with school and it was such a
humbling experience all around. We were able to see the authentic horse
drawn buggies, dresses and caps and bowl cuts on the boys. I will
explain more in my email next week but I loved everything about it! The
only downside was I got the stomach flu that had been going around with
some of the Amish kids. It actually hit 9 sets of missionaries and Our
mission president and his wife. But everything is good now!! :)
Well time is almost up!
I feel
complete love and gratitude to all those around me. I can't believe how
much love I feel for complete strangers and people I hardly know. I
truly feel the love of Christ and I am so happy to be serving and doing
all I can to spread that love and happiness!!! :)
Love you all!!
