I
got the package! We had a zone training
and I got it on Halloween!!! Super cool! Thank you for Mike Wazowski and
everything!!!!! So cute.
So I'll start with last p-day... Sister Moyer needed to dye her
hair, but they messed up so she had to dye her hair brown... so that’s the big
change with her!! She looks great, it represents a new look, change and start
new!
This week we did street boarding and talked to lots of different
people. It got sister Moyer out of her comfort zone and she didn’t have to rely
on me to talk to people. She’s doing really great; I’m giving her full responsibility
to find homes and leading discussions. We are to train to where after their 12
weeks of training, they’d be able to train, so its pushing her, but she’s
taking each challenge graciously and doing a great job:) I’m so proud of her!! She
really wanted to go door to door proselyting, which I wasn’t too fond of, (and there’s
more effective ways of contacting) but I accepted and it was good, I think I
personally needed that push to not be afraid, even though I don’t like talking
to people who get angry at me. I guess I
just have to face the fact that not everyone is going to be nice. I just need to stand up for myself and be the
disciple that Christ needs me to be!! (Bible dictionary: fear)
Besides that, we had Halloween parties! English class themed
party with Halloween bingo, pin the bone on the skeleton, described English Halloween
idioms! It was super fun. We used marshmallows as markers for bingo but they
ate them all instead! Ha-ha we have the best 80 year old man in our English
class!
Saturday the ward asked us to come to a picnic at this huge
park. Fall is beautiful and the ward had a lot of fun together. The ward seems
to be a lot better, happier and happy with our work with investigators. Bishop
is happier than any one has ever seen him!
After the picnic, the other ward had a Halloween party and we
invited our two Kim sisters!! They loved it. Our member who is the same age
took them around and took care of them as we worked the booths! It was perfect.
They had so much fun. The week before, they promised to fast and come to
church. We were sad but they weren’t able to come to church again... but they
texted us and said that even though they couldn’t come, they were fasting.
These sisters are coming closer and closer to their savior and I can see the
joy and happiness in their faces! Not to mention, the missionaries put on a
great Halloween party! Decorations and everything were perfect. So that
leads me into what is going to happen in November. Our ward mission leader
heard how great the Halloween party was... so now we are planning a
thanksgiving party! In two weeks! Ahhhhh crazy! The ward mission leader was
like" who’s going to be in charge of food??.... and kept repeating it
while looking at me the whole time... hahaha I was finally like "ok,
I will!! I will!" ha-ha he’s the funniest member. So I guess I’m in charge of thanksgiving this
year, for the ward. I’m walking in your footsteps mom! Maybe this year’s
thanksgiving party will be better than last years.... Sister Moyer is providing
the music (she is singing and playing the guitar) and I’m in charge of teaching
some dance routines!! Maybe some hoedowns! Ha-ha we might be going to Costco to
see what kind of food to buy! It’s super hilarious that this is happening, but it’s
going to be fun and a great service opportunity for the ward. We are going to
make invitations for the ward members to give to their friends to invite. We
are in charge of inviting 30 non members and investigators as well. I think we
can do it. A lot of our friends from English class came to the Halloween party.
This week, study time has been very precious to me; I’ve been
trying to find a good way I can keep studying effectively because recently it hasn’t
been as effective. I had companions that read super fast and I just felt so
dumb because I read so slowly, and that made me just want to "get
through" the Book of Mormon. But I can’t do that, I've not been effective,
so now I’m to focus studies and it’s really helped me as I relate my experiences
that past week with what I’m learning. Today I thought about how people with
strong faith are like strong trees. I want to grow to be a Redwood tree! I
wrote in my journal “GROW BIG!" ha-ha I guess I am spiritually and
physically! Aha just kidding. It’s been a great week!
