Hi everyone!
I'm going to start with the funny story of the week. It all starts with District Meeting. Sister MacKillop and I were asked to give a training on companionship unity. The training went well and we committed everyone do do something during the week to serve/work better with their companion. So this week, Sister MacKillop and I practiced the lessons a lot, I made her bed and did her dishes and she made me dinner one night. Doesn't sound too funny or interesting, right? Here's the funny part; that dinner she made me? I got food poisoning haha. It was hilarious when we figured it out! She was fine, I guess my body didn't quite accept the lentils, though.
That was definitely a great addition to a pretty eventful week. We had several miracles happen with some of our investigators this week! Two of our investigators are actually next door neighbors. Which turned out to be a really awesome thing because we were on our way to an appointment with Jayne and we ran into Kaitlin, who we hadn't seen in over a week. Kaitlin invited us in and we had to make that awkward decision of whether to tell her "yes" or "we can't". We compromised. We said that we had an appointment with her neighbor, but could come over afterwards. She was completely ok with that. Our appointment with Jayne ended up falling through and so we got to meet with Kaitlin and set up a return appointment!! The funny thing was that the same thing happened with Kaitlin. Our appointment with her fell through later this week and we were able to meet with Jayne. It's like everything did a perfect flip flop. It was fantastic!
Also, we discovered that we bike around 10 or more miles every day. I can definitely feel it. But it's fun because we can go where cars can't go. There's something so empowering about seeing a road end and realizing that you can just take the bike path straight through to the other side where it continues on. I feel like a boss every time. Also, apparently I do a pretty accurate impersonation of Smeagul from Lord of the Rings. Yes, I don't do the voice in public. And I thought I sounded like Stitch, but apparently not.
I love the work here. I love the people. It's challenging, but the challenge makes life interesting. It's helping me push myself farther and it's helping me depend on my Savior when my strength and my knowledge are insufficient. I love it here. There isn't anything in this world that can compare with the wonderful satisfaction that the gospel brings to our lives. And I have the wonderful task of dedicating 24 hours a day to this work. It's work, but it's the best kind of work. I'm so grateful to be serving here and I'm so grateful for the continuing support that you have all been to me. I love you all so much and I pray for you every day!
Love,
Steph
