broken, broken, broken

Hi Friends!

No, nothing is broken. We were having a lesson with Ana and her granddaughter was there drawing all over a piece of paper and she'd take a pen out of the pile, draw for maybe 3 seconds, decide it was broken, throw it and grab another. quite amusing. 

The other night we heart-attacked the door of a less active member we're working with and he heard us, I guess he's bionic or something cause we were SILENT, and he whipped open the door and bout gave us our own heart attacks! Not. fun. 

We  had exchanges this week on Wednesday: so good. I was with Sister Wadman and we had a blast. she is so powerful, especially on the doorstep, she literally echoed down the street. We went to Good Samaritan and played games with some old folks, and Jesse totally smoked us at Uno. It was sad to see how my skills have gone down lol. We went to visit some potential investigators later and it was raining and Sister Wadman was THRILLED. She's excited about everything even remotely related to being a missionary and it's contagious, by the end of the day, I was ready to go tract the town by myself..almost. Sister Fleming was super pumped up too and we were so excited about going out on Thursday and... I got sick during the night :( It may or may not have had something to do that as breakfast-for-dinner, a member served us cake waffles, as in cake batter in a waffle maker. it was so good, but I may have gone overboard. So we spent most of Thursday inside so I could sleep. Still not quite in tip-top shape, BUT we've been able to go out each day, just gotta be slower about it.

It's been cool to have eyes that are able to see miracles throughout the day because I'm looking for them. 

Something that I learned just yesterday is if you're having a hard time, if you're feeling lost, confused, alone, overwhelmed, or anything like it, take stock of the things that you KNOW. Like for me, I know my parents love me. I know Heavenly Father is there, listening and ALWAYS willing to help. I know the very real power of the priesthood. I know I can be with my family for eternity. I know I'm where the Lord wants me. then go from there. Don't focus on all the other things, remember the most important facts and they'll give the the strength to face the rest, He will give you that strength, He knows how much you need it. 

I love you all so much!

p.s. I'm sorry Mom, I'll try to be better at taking pictures this week, Sister Fleming and I both look at each other when we get home like, "we should've taken a picture! ugh!" and can't change it, we're getting better, maybe...

"Love God with all your heart.."

Hi Friends! It has been a week. dang.  We got to do a whole lot of service this week which was really fun. It's kinda wonderful to get to think all about someone else even for just an hour. I do a heck of a lot of thinking in a day, so I need a break sometimes and service is the way to do it. The great thing is, if you're doing it right, more than just the service projects feel like service, practically all we do as missionaries is serve, so I get to think about others all the time! yay! One of the things we got to do was go brush horses at Hart Ranch. Sue Hart, the owner, is super sweet and she gave us those gloves as a Christmas gift and we're going back this week to help her put up all her Christmas stuff cause she's getting kinda old, plus we love to do that.  I'm coming up on 3 months and since Sister Zollinger is very likely going to be leaving Terrace Heights at the end of this transfer, I've been thinking a lot about what I've learne...

"Hi Girls!!"

HI Friends! So, no I'm not calling you all girls, ANA WAS BAPTIZED ON SATURDAY! and Sister Zollinger and I spent like 20 minutes trying to imitate how she says "girls" cause she's from the Dominican Republic and it sounds great. That's the way she always greets us :) Love her. Her baptism was absolutely wonderful. the Spirit was so strong and we were all crying, and grinning and ahhh it was so powerful.  Some weird things have happened this week. Tuesday at 12:30AM I woke up and started planning for the day, I woke Sister Zollinger and was so urgent about getting it done until she was like "WE'LL PLAN AT 6:30 WHEN WE USUALLY PLAN". yup. Guess I'm Just too excited about all things missionary. whoops.  Margaret is moved out!!
