oh my GRACIOUS for the first time.... in a long time..... I.... don't want to write a big email today. hahaha WHAT!!! man it's just been a long day and i am so tiiiiired!!!
but never fear my friends, for the few who have lasted my whole mission and STILL READ THESE!!! i will tell my tales for the week!
okay first things first. I had been REALLY GOOD with eating healthier in my mission... man i have almost cut out most sweets, i hardly have nutella anymore, it's crazy. now sugar gives me headaches and soda especially makes me feel sick, WELL!!!! LET ME TEACH YOU A LIFE LONG LESSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this last week we got a lot of junk food from people, and even though it didn't make me feel good at first, the other sisters kept offering me stuff and i would hesitate... think... man i shouldn't.... THEN I WOULD TAKE IT AND EAT IT!!!!!!!! and then i felt sick a little, but a few days went by and little by little.... I began to feel better eating junk! my body started adjusting to the horribleness i was putting into my body, and LITTLE BY LITTLE! i stopped making me feel sick.... well. thankfully, we REALIZED what was happening! and we though... MAN! we only have two months left!! WHAT ARE WE THINKING!!! so we made goals to cut out most junk again!! now what would've happened my friends.... WHAT WOULD'VE HAPPENED...... if i didn't realize where i was going... if i kept going further and further into this trap?? my body would've kept adjusting and i wouldn't have realized until i got home and everyone gasped because i was a fatty...... man this is just like your spirit!! we do really well, and get the spirit with us all the time, when we do something to drive the spirit away, we feel it immediately! we don't like it, it doesn't feel good. but if we keep doing it, little by little, we lose the spirit, and we start not to notice, so we think we are fine, but that is not the case. when you feel it that first time, you cannot keep letting yourself slip up with the little things. we need to make goals and keep ourselves on our toes!!
ANYWAY! haha that's all for that.
hey something really neat this week.
we had a member ask us to come over for family night to teach her sister, who had some past struggles she was holding onto and giving her pain. she wasn't a member either, and this member wanted her to BE a member! haha anyway, she told us about it two weeks in advance and said we better prepare something amazing.... 1 week and a half later.... we see her and she asks us what we have planned for her sister!! well we always plan the lessons the night before and so we didn't have anything and she was like... WHAAAT?? you better have something amazing!!!! or you're gonna have to hear from me!! this has to change her!! heal her!!! it has to be perfect!!! (and mind you she is hispanic, hahaha so it's a LOT SCARIER!!!!!!!! okay but she was kinda joking but not at all at the same time, but doing it with love still! haha) and i was like AHHHHHHHHHHH OKAY OH MY GOSH I AM SO SORRY!!!!!!!!! hahahaha so we planned dang hard for that lesson!!!! and man i was praying my little heart out!!! man before we had the lesson, i literally went to the bathroom, and offered another prayer just to let us say the right words, ask the right questions, and be his hands. then we started and BOY OH BOY. it was just a bunch of tears and he spirit and greatness. haha the whole lesson was on jesus christ. and man, i have never felt so strongly that he is our savior, and that he is real. it was amazing, at the end of the lesson, we testified again, and then we were all just quiet. i first was like... well.... what should we say... haha but the spirit was so strong, so we just stayed quiet. everyone was just sitting there, and i didn't even want to move, i was just soakin in the spirit, so at peace and so filled. we literally all sat there for about 3-5 minutes straight, not saying a word, which is a really long time actually!! haha and then the silence was broken and we said a prayer and left :) man. it was so awesome. i just loved it. prepare, and pray. and you will have the spirit. we are gonna send her sister missionaries now from where she is from :) cause she was just visiting from her country, WOOHOO!!!! hopefully all goes well.
OH BOY our AC broke...... can i get a KILL ME THIS IS THE WORST DAY OF MY LIFE??? hahaha just kidding that's a bit dramatic... it was only almost 90 DEGREES IN THERE!!!! hahaha it was an especially hot and humid day and we walked up the stairs so excited for a welcoming rush of cold air... only to feel... HUMIDITY AND HEAT!!!!!!!! well i'm really kidding guys it wasn't that bad, we still have a home and food and ARE ALIVE!! so nothing to complain about, cause the apt. got us a little cooler fan thing and so we all moved our beds into the living room and just slept out there cause it was the least hot! it was fun! like sleeping under the christmas tree or something! woo!!!
man two more awesome things and then i have to go!!!!
this week, there have been so many cold rejections from people!!! but there have been so many cool experiences where we get rejected, get ready to go, see another person, kinda wanna just leave cause we are sick of getting rejected... but DON'T! and talk to them and they are way interested!!! man The Lord really does see how far you will go! he wants to be able to trust you.
another cool thing! we were doing weekly planning and thinking about investigators, and felt like we should call one, so we did!!! and we called, and she answered and said she was in a pickle! nd trying to move a bunch of stuff without her husband, and so we told her we were ON OUR WAY TO HELP!!!! and we got to move a bunch of boxes into the attic and then teach a lesson and man it was just awesome cause we were about to drop them cause we couldnt get in their house!! and THEN WE GOT IN!!!! WOOHOO!!!
MAAAAAN shoot there are so many cool stories but i have no time!!! i gotta go!!!
I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!!
