My dearest family,
I did get your package, and I am so so so so sorry about
tasha. I may have even shed a tear in your behalf. She was a good
little guy. I hope you are all feeling better! And I hope you don't
accidentally get a new dog...! And yes, I do have a credit card, thank
you!
Tell Aunt Julie thank you for the beads, we have already
busted them out, its even a little therapeutic...its fun to have a
little something to mix life up.
This week has been all kinds of happy!
We got to go on a little trip through the mountains to West
Virginia! We have two sets of Elders who serve in Franklin West
Virginia, and the had set up a booth at a festival that was going on,
and of coarse they wanted sister to come up and be the face of the
church. So we took the opportunity and it was so much fun. It is just
this tiny little town, filled of hicks, and giant pig cookers. We had a
wee of a time. We took turns sitting at the booth and just walking
around the festival talking to everyone. We even helped them find some
potential investigators. Also we had a downpour rain storm for about 20
minuets, which was all kinds of fun. It was fun to switch it up a
little.
On Saturday
we had the baptism of Sandy Delfin. She is nine years old, and just
the sweatest. Her mom and sister are both members too. Naturally we
had a full meal after the baptism, and it was just perfect. She was so
happy. We are so happy.
On Sunday
I gave my first real live talk in sacrament meeting, in spanish. It
was nuts! It was about the Book of Mormon, and it was a whole ten
minuets long, and I was so nervous. But I did it! It was cool to be
able to see that I actually could do it, I mean I'm no pro, but I am
saying something! Also I got to go to primary
on Sunday,
which was the best ever. We now have three recent converts in Primary,
and we were thinking they needed a little support. Mostly I just
wanted to do sharing time and of coarse singing time. I thought about
you the whole time Dad!
We are still eating lots of hispanic food, not as much as
other weeks, but I have had a few tummy aches this week. Mostly we just
have been blessed with some really awesome investigators. We have had
so many opportunities to share the gospel, it is the best ever. Ramon
and Maria came to church again, and loved it. They are the cute ones
with a scooter. They also invited us over for dinner this week, which
always means they love us, so we are excited for that.
This week I have been studying in the end of Alma.
Sometimes the war chapters are hard for me, but I started obsessing over
the 200 stripling warriors. I don't have my scriptures on me, but I
think in chapter 57 it says that they fought desperately. I love the
wording there. Sometimes I feel like that, that I am just fighting
desperately. They talk about how they had never learned to fight, but
they keep their covenants, followed the commandments, and had faith. I
think that is so perfect for what I am doing here, right now. Sometimes
I feel like I have no idea what I am doing, and I am just trying
desperately to do whats right, to go where I should, to speak spanish,
to have faith, to keep being obediant, whatever it may be. But just
like them, my parents taught me to always have faith, to always trust
that as long as you are doing what the Lord asks you to do, you will be
able to do what you need to do. Sometimes its hard to do, but I have
been able to find comfort in the fact that I can put my all in, and he
will make up the rest.
I love being a missionary. I am so happy. I love
Virginia. This morning we went on a hike, and it was the best ever. I
will send pictures. I love you all very much. Thank you for being the
best ever!
xoxo Hermana Myer
