Every Thursday we usually know it will be full of service. We help two ladies with some chores that they are not able to do themselves. One ladies name is Miss Billie. She is the sassiest southern lady ever and man do I love her. She would do anything for us. She is not a member and previous missionaries have tried teaching her, but she would fall asleep during lessons. They stopped and continued to serve her. When we go over we usually watch and inspirational message with her. This time we chose to watch the restoration. She thought it was a cool movie and had many questions afterward. We were able to answer some of them and also invite her read the saints book. To hopefully clear up some concerns. Line upon line is she getting more truth and knowledge about the Gospel and one day hopefully she will accept the fulness of it.
Another miracle was with our friend José! He had canceled our lesson this past week and we had not seen him in two weeks. We were pretty bummed out. But... We have a super awesome member who knows Jose. So she invited him and us over for lunch. We were so grateful to be able to spend that time with Jose and get to know him and his daughter Carolina. We were able to introduce to him the Plan of Salvation. This is God's plan for us and answers questions of why we are here, where did we come from, and where are we going after this life. It truly is a plan that brings much peace and happiness to my life. We were able to even give his daughter a Book of Mormon and invite her to read it! We are so excited for them to continue to learn and progress in this wonderful gospel!
Story time! My companion hates moths, and we were in bed one night and it was after 10:30 and Sister Bergeson was like Sister are you awake. I was like sure what's up? She said I think there is a fly in my window it is flying around. I was like okay turn the lights on and she was a little scared so I turned them on. Then I was like open the blinds and she did like an inch, so I went over and pulled them completely open... And a moth flew out and hit me in the face and then got stuck in my hair! My companion runs out of the room and then goes and grabs the fly swatter and throws it to me and then closes the door. I was trying really hard to kill but then I just lost it completely. So we went on a search we had not clue where it was. I was looking under the bed and Sister Bergeson came in and pulled up some covers and there it is and it flew at me again. I screamed so loud our neighbors probably thought we were being murdered. It finally lands and I kill the stupid thing. It was like 11:30 before we got to bed. If you know missionaries that is way past our bed time! Stupid moth! Then the next night I go to get in bed and there was a moth. I killed it so fast it didn't even stand a chance. Moral of the story is if you need a moth killed I am your girl!
Also this past week I hit my one year mark. I have officially been a missionary for a whole year. What a crazy year it has been. I have had some of my highest highs and lowest lows. It is the most rewarding work that I have ever done in my life. I have felt pure JOY as watching those I have grown to love change their lives to follow Jesus Christ. I have learned much about myself and about the Gospel the last year and will continue to learn more the 6 months. I love this work. I know it is true. I can't deny it. I love y'all so much and am so grateful for all of the love and support. You guys are all truly amazing sons and daughters of God never forget your worth. Have a blessed week!
