i feel
like last week i finally had seen the light at the end of the tunnel...
and now looking back at this past week i feel like from the begining it
was a little rough and then i sped quickly OUT OF THE TUNNEL AND INTO
THE LIGHT!!!!
I'M BACK. the real me is back. i'm here in ellerslie.
i'm invested. i'm real. i'm a person. i'm flawed but that does NOT stop
me from giving everything i have and FEELING everything.. the up and
down the high the low the hard the easy the fun the boring the SPIRIT!!!
im committed!!! (haha dad everytime i say that i LAUGH ;) )
so like i said the beginning of the week was a little rough, still kinda felt in the rut....still down on myself and like
thursday
we got NOTHING done... we DID volunteer at this little old age home..
and i met a guy from Pretoria!!! i recognized that he was from south
africa because he told one of the nurses "foot sac!!" except i have no
idea how to spell that in afrikaans, but we had a nice chat.. i mean as
good as it can get when your talking to a crazy person.. but it was fun
:) i also fed a lady some wine.. first time for everything right? haha
:D
we had a lunch with the bonds a part member couple in our ward...
he is like a proffessional chef and he made this seafood chowder.. im
not even kidding you it was the best soup i have ever had in my life...
like enough to write home about.. and then giant fluffy biscuts... it
was SO GOOD.. my companion doesnt like seafood though... so that
was funny. ha.
ummmm what else... OH!! WE GOT 4 NEW INVESTIGATORS!! just goes to
show that when you put your heart into things... you have success!! i
know that investigators arent always the case... but actually most times
yes it is...
annnnnd the same family that got us 3 new investigators in one...
that family is a family of 8.. lots of little kids :) ALLLLLLLLLLLL OF
THEM CAME TO CHURCH!!!!!!!!!!! i thought my face was gonna crack i was
smiling so big :) we sat with them through sacrament and all the kids
were SO GOOD like quieter then every body ELSES kids... the dad DID
spill his coffee lol... EMBARASSING ;) nah it was no biggie.. we'll
teach em word of wisdom one day. they are so prepared.. we LITERALLY met
them
on thursday and they came to church that
sunday.. so cool
that SAME day we got another new investigator named J :) she just let
us in.. let us teach her.. and asked if we could meet weekly! her aunt
has a book of mormon. i love seeing that WE arent the ones finding them
teaching them and then seeing them baptized... like there is a WORLD of
preparation that goes on and THEN we come in... and then we LEAVE....
like we are just here for A MOMENT.
and now i cant write any more cause my head just exploded I
AM SO HAPPY. THIS GOSPEL THIS LIFE THIS CHURCH HEAVENLY FATHER'S
PLAN... OUR DETAILED LIVES ARE SOOOOOOOO WATCHED OVER SO TAKEN CARE
OF.... ITS SO PERFECT. SO FLAWLESS WITH EVERYTHING... like.. EVERYTHING
WILL WORK OUT. it always does always will and we can be infinitely happy
in moments of trial if we are obedient and lean on HIM.
I LOVE LIFE.

love EVERYTHING :) this is great. its the hardest thing i have ever had
to do... and i have done some pretty hard things before... but its the
best in the world
