The week went QUICK, but it also feels like New Years EVE was like 4 months ago, strange huh?
We haven't had a ton of luck this week. We met a girl named Bethany at the park and she was super cool, but I don't think her parents are okay with us teaching her :/ And Amanda and Brad don't want to meet with us anymore, which was really sad to find out. So, we've visited with quite a few members this week in search of opportunities to teach people they know, and to simply help them in their own efforts. The people in our area are wonderful, and so loving, so I'm certain its just a matter of time.
We are still meeting with Christina, and her heart is softening toward the Book of Mormon, it's kind of thrilling to watch and to see the difference in her since I got to Selah. She knows it can bless her, its just a matter of time before she sees how it already has.
WE WENT TO THE TEMPLE WITH ANA ON SATURDAY. The whole thing happened so abruptly, she messaged me on Wednesday that she was going Saturday, o we scrambled to get everything worked out and Elder and Sister Call who used to be in the mission office drove us :) (sidenote: they are the cutest people, Sister Tenney and I were just gushing about them later haha) It was a total miracle to get to go to the temple, and to see Ana there. Sister Zollinger and her companion were able to come too and that was way cool to see her. She goes home in a week! so it was a tender mercy to get to talk to her before she leaves. I love being able to see Gods hand showing us how He knows us so well.
Okay, I'll explain the subject line: At dinner yesterday, we were talking with Sister McDougall about her mission and what she misses most and she said that she misses how powerful the Spirit was. When you're a missionary, you have SO MUCH of the Spirit, and when you're home, you simply don't need quite as much since you're not on the front lines. She said you're given what you need and then.. the machine gun analogy lol. enjoy. :)
Much Love!
Sister Shuldberg
