"I come home in exactly a month from this day! That is mind blowing, but it really doesn't feel real. Sometimes I feel like I was born on the mission and I'll die on the mission. I know that I've been other places than this same valley but it kind of doesn't feel like that. I keep telling people I am from Canada but I almost don't believe it anymore. I guess that is a good thing but it's weird. I love my mission and I am most grateful for it.
This week was so great! I LOVE my companion. We've been out around the same amount of time. It's so fun to be serving with someone who knows what they are doing. We are so balanced. I've been so blessed to have great companions but with my companion now we both just get to be missionaries. We talked to more people this week then I have ever talk to in one week of my mission. We had more people at church than I've ever had my whole mission. Heavenly Father must love me a lot to let me be in this ward and have this companion.
Highlights of the week:
- We started talking to this guy who was telling us all about how he makes gangster rap about drugs and I really have no idea why but I started bearing my testimony to him about how God loves him and that God understands him even when he thinks that no one does. Now keep in mind that this was a thug master and I got all emotional. I teared up a bit and told him to read the Book of Mormon because if he read it he'd know that God knows him. It was kind of funny afterward.
- The cute, little girl who lived in my second area where I served for 7 1/2 months and who is going to Canada on her mission came out with us for one last time. It was so tender.
- We are teaching this cute couple who the Dad is less active and the Mom is pregnant. We always say we are giving their son Nephi for a middle name. We taught her the plan of Salvation and she was getting upset at her husband for interrupting. She was like "Let me learn, this is great!" I love when people see how great the gospel is.
-We street contacted this guy who told me that my ancestors were cave men because I have red hair. He was like "I'm not trying to offend you but it's just a fact that your ancestors were cave men probably Esau offspring. You know the guy who sold his birthright for pottage." I was like "Buddy please, I'm from the tribe of Ephraim."
- We are teaching a 15 year old boy. During our lesson about the Plan of Salvation when we talked about the Resurrection he was like "So I'm going to be even more handsome than I am now? I'm at 110% handsome now, so I'll probably be 200% then."
- The little 11 year old we are teaching committed to baptism the weekend before I come home!! I was SO happy! I wanted to cry!When we had the primary program; she sang all the songs and even had a line!! It was so tender. I love my wards.
-The General Women's Broadcast was the happiest, cutest thing of all time. If that didn't make you want to go quickly to the temple; I don't know what would.
It was a great,great week. I love my area! I love my companion! I love my mission! I really, realllllyyy love the gospel of Jesus Christ! There is nothing happier."
