August 10th
Wow, I don't even know where to begin with this week. For one, I am sooooooooo Tired! But this week has been awesome!!!
Our Stake had youth conference this week and they called all the missionaries of the stake to help them out. Haha, we had to help set up a dance and blow up a ton of Balloons! I don't think I have blown up that many balloons in my entire life!! I was definitely a little light headed afterwards ha.
Saturday all the youth went proselyting with the missionaries. They divided us with our wards, and I am in the biggest ward here so we have a ton of youth! They divided me and hermana Ake up and gave us each three Young Women to accompany us. We were given a list of names to visit...mine happened to be in a area that wasn't mine X( so I stole my zone Leaders map and left with the Young Women to teach people!
First it was stressful because it wasn't my area and I thought the girls were going to pass out from heat stroke, it is about a 110-115 degrees here right now (Its weird I didn't realize it was hot until I looked over and saw them sweating up a storm!) Our first lesson no one wanted to testify, but lesson by lesson it got easier and easier =) and I had the opportunity to teach them how to contact people in the street like a boss! (I love contacting! XD)
One of the names on the list of members we needed to visit happened to be the mom of one of the girls that was with me. (Yeah a little awkward) we didn't exactly know why her name was on the list and I didn't know if it would be a good Idea to visit her with her daughter but I kept getting the prompting to visit this mom. So we went and I had the daughter pick out the theme for the lesson (she knows the necessities of her family more then I do) and as I was helping her teach the lesson and when I testified about the families, the house filled with the spirit. Her mom started to cry and her dad said this is the message that they needed. I wasn't exactly sure what he meant by that until the next day (Sunday) when I walked into the church and the daughter of this family came running up to me holding up a temple recommend in her hand telling me that they were going to get sealed together this month. One of the happiest moments of my mission! I just wanted to cry! I LOVE THIS MISSION SO MUCH!!!!! HELPING PEOPLE FIND THE GOSPEL IS THE BEST JOB IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you feel like something is missing in your life, I invite you to look for the gospel of Jesus Christ and apply it! Read the Book of Mormon, Pray in your families, Go to church and have a Family Home evening every week, if you do these things I PROMISE your life will be better, you will be happier, your relation with God will be stronger and you will have the spirit by your side to guide you and comfort you 24/7.
I love you all!!!!!!!!!!! HAVE AN AMAZING WEEK!!! GET SOME MISSIONARY WORK DONE!!!!! =D
LOVE Hermana Orison =)
