Heyyyyyy y'all! It's Monday again! That went by fast, huh?! Hahaha
another P-day!
I hope y'all have had a great week so far and that you are seeing
success with everything so far!
The rest of the week went by so fast, and we saw many miracles. Let's
get to it.
Thursday, September 18th.
Sister Kimura and Sister Hannien went to temple, so her companion,
Sister Lohman was with me for half of the day. Since we, Sister Lohman
and I, both went to the temple while our companions worked for the
time when we were in the temple. We got to go on another exchange! And
it was great!
Sister Lohman, and I were able to get a lot of street contacts in and
see Ruth. She's an old German lady who loves the sister missionaries,
and likes learning about religions, so we stopped by to see her and
she was home and we were able to have a decent lesson with her!
Miracle. Then saw a few more people, then lunch. Our lesson cancelled
with Patsy, one of our Investigators. So we got to talk for a little
bit about our missions and how we are growing too. She compared it to
a soccer game, and how when we get tired in a soccer game...you just
get put back in when you have energy to play....it's not at all like
that with missions. You have to give it your ALL- NO MATTER WHAT. NO
MATTER HOW TIRED YOU GET.
We don't have a second chance to play if we give up. We only have ONE
chance to play, so we better make it worth it. I thought that was so
cool. She goes home in two weeks, and I just love her!
Then after lunch, we changed into service clothes and went to do some
service for one of our RC, Margaret( she's the one who had a dream
about me coming to the area...and I saw her in the same dream I had
too) and we cleaned her bathroom.
Then exchanged back because kimura and Hannien came back from the temple.
Then kimura and I went to see Wendy, RC, and she was having a rough
day. So we helped her out with some stuff and read the BOM with her.
Then went to dinner with the addleys, they took us out to chiptole.
And it was great!
Then went to see some more people, then home to plan, the night routine.
Friday, September 19th.
It was weekly planning, it went well! Then had lunch at a deli place.
Then a lesson with Austin and Gerald, and the addleys were there....it
was great! Then went and saw Wendy again, read some more of the BOM
with her.
Then went and contacted a referral, who we have been trying to contact
for about two weeks...and someone was finally home! We weren't able
to talk to the mom, she was on her way out BUT we were able to visit
with the son, and he was very interested in talking to us! So that's
cool!
Then dinner with the swells, and I love them so much!
Then after dinner, we went to the La Plantes...and it was a great
visit there too! Then the night routine.
Oh, and it was my moms birthday:) HAPPY 25th BIRTHDAY MOM:):) LOVE you!!!
Saturday, September 20th.
It was service all day pretty much.
We went over to a members house in the morning, and helped her with
cleaning her garage. And it was nice getting to serve these people who
work so hard to take care of us missionaries. We were there from 10am-
2pm, then she took us out to eat for lunch. So that was nice!
Then we were about to go to Wendy's to help her- and she said she
wasn't up for anyone comin over so we turned around and went home to
make phone calls and stuff like that since we had service around 4pm
anyways. Did that, then went over the Barry's and did indoor cleaning
so it was fun! And they invited us to stay for dinner, since our
dinner got cancelled( it was a ward activity that is getting moved to
another day anyways) and they fed us. He made waffles. And we grabbed
yogurt of all different flavors and put them on our waffles, then
homemade jam, etc. It was a make a quick meal with no planning
whatsoever. it was so good. Sean Barry is one good cook! Then watched
a church documentary video, and had a mini lesson with them. It was
such a good day!
And right after we stepped outside..it started to rain. So that's
cool! We haven't had rain for a long time. Tender mercy y'all!
Then night routine.
Sunday, September 21st.
Church went great! This ward wants to try out a bunch of good stuff to
increase their missionary work in the area. And I love that! Got to
meet a lot of people, and then get to know more about them, etc.
After church, we did more finding, updated whatever we needed to on
the Areabook, then went to see a few more people before dinner.
We saw a few people and invited them to a family history fair they are having.
Then dinner with Forrest's, and it was so great! Then talked to their
neighbors, and invited them to the family history event too. Lots of
good contacts.
Then dropped by the mcgigans and saw them. Had a mini lesson.
Then calling in numbers, and got ready for tomorrow.
Monday, September 22nd.
Today's P-day, and it's the usual kind of thing. Going to try catch up
on some journaling, writing letters, etc, all of the good stuff, then
go hangout with other missionaries and stuff like that we have.
It's going to be a much needed day today. Lots to do.
Hope all is going well, love y'all!!!
Conference is coming up in like 2 weeks, prepare now. It will help to
recieve that revelation from Heavenly Father.
I'll let ya know how the rest of the week goes! I love y'all.
Live, laugh, love!
Until next week,
Sister matchett :)
