Week 29 - Mormon 9:28

Loved ones,

The SUN! We've had sunshine this past week and I LOVE it! More birds
and more blossoms. I'm a happy sister missionary!

I survived watching Sister Tuitea kill the chicken last week! I held
the feet while her and Brother George plucked it and watched while she
took care of everything else. I think I might be able to do it one
day!! I'll send the more intense pictures to my dad if anyone is more
interested in seeing them haha.

This week was probably the hardest yet. Lots of not so nice people
that didn't want to leave us alone. But we've sure learned a lot! I've
also been very humbled by the amount of love I've felt from my
Heavenly Father and the love I've felt for these not so nice people.
We were at the end of a tough day. Once it's dark everyone thinks
you're crazy for being out and about. They open the door in their PJ's
at like 6:30 wondering why we're out so late. But we knew we needed to
be out finding those people that have been prepared by the Lord. We we
driving away from a less active member that was not interested in
seeing us and feeling quite defeated. I prayed so hard for Heavenly
Father's help to keep going that night. I felt the need to pull over
after seeing a certain home. We knocked on the door three times with
no answer. As we were walking back out the driveway we saw a young
girl walk out the door and toward us! Jordan was so happy to meet us
and to hear she had a loving Heavenly Father that cared for her. She
has had huge struggles with self worth and was so thankful we stopped
by her home that night. She accepted the invites to read the Book of
Mormon and meet with us again. As we were walking away I felt such an
overwhelming sense of peace that brought me to tears. It's humbling to
be able to witness how much our Heavenly Father loves his children and
how He will guide us to them. Being a missionary is the best. I'm sure
blessed to be here in Georgia and to have the love and support of so
many people.

We went bowling today with all the sisters in our Zone. I love seeing
Sister Hosman! We took a recent convert with us because she lives just
down the street from the bowling alley and we could push her down
there. We ended up going to the bowling alley up the street and across
6 lanes of traffic haha. I ran almost the entire way pushing her!
Needless to say I got my workout for the day. I will send pictures
from bowling next week.

We have a conference this week for all the sisters on our mission and
we're so excited!!

I love you, I pray for you, and I know this is the work of our Lord
and Savior Jesus Christ!
