Whistle like a bird!
Well hi!
This week literally flew by. Literally.
We got to teach family home evening at the church.. Guess who loves
visuals! We do! Too bad it didn't work ha. We tried doing the pepper
and soap thing but used cinnamon instead... It smells better.... But
doesn't really work ahaha.
TUESDAY. Man oh man what a day! We had a zone conference! Woot! It was
an elevated zone conference... We pretty much got called to repentance
ha. In an awesome, loving way. We are going to elevate our language,
no more: darn, dang, gee, gosh, geeze, freaking, sucks, "guys",
"like", "um", "you know". It's been fun! For real. In the scriptures
Christ tells us that we shouldn't swear by the heavens or the earth,
but that we must reply, "Yea yea, nay nay" Will do! Haha. And thatgoes for habits too, like cracking knuckles, biting your lip/ cheek,
touching your face. We were challenged to record ourselves (on our
handy dandy iPads) to see what we look like during lessons.... Whew!
Haha.
It snowed. Again. So guess who did some S-E-R-V-I-C-E! That's right,
the elders! Jokes. We shoveled:) got 2 new investigators out of it!
MIRACLE MOMENT: the lesson we had set with the guy we shoveled for, we
brought a sister with us, and honestly, I had no idea why we we're
bring her. There was no way that she would be good for him, blah blah
blah... We walked in, and she said, "you look familiar... Fred?
Fred!!" They hugged and gabbed. Crazy! We said a really nice thank you
prayer :) such a blessing. Without her there, I know that the lesson
would have been COMPLETELY different.
This week the Sister Training Leaders gave us a challenge. To write
down our companions strengths every day, as well as our own. It was SO
easy to write down hers! And it helped me to really see them. I won't
lie I didn't write any of mine. Probably because I don't have any :P
but I think you should do that, if you're having a hard time getting
along with someone, or even if you're best friends, it's helped a lot
:)
I'm almost done with the Book of Mormon! I LOVE it. So good. Brings
the spirit so strong. There is a recent convert that we've been
working with and she told us this week how she has noticed that when
she's been reading the Book of Mormon daily, it has GREATLY improved
her week, and that's huge coming from her :)
I seriously love being a missionary, I think I might have to go to the
dentist, and I don't want to because what if they find something that
I will have to go home to fix?! Haha. Don't worry mom.
Thank you for the prayers, I love and pray for you.
Don't forget to be grateful :)
Amor,
Sister Holden
PS: deer are everywhere! There are 5 in this picture can you find them?
