HAPPPPPYYYYYY THANNNKKKSSGGGIIIVVVINNNG!
FELIZ DIA DE ACTION DE
GRACIASSSSS!!!
So, I only have a half
an hour to write this week but hey, this week has been crazy awesome! The
weather here is a nice sunny 14 degrees and our nose hairs are starting to
freeze when we breathe in. so here in Minnesota Jack Frost bites your nose hairs.
hahaha okay so I have to tell you this my companion is the best haha so we had
just woke up and she asked me if i had any dreams and I said yea it was all
about teaching lessons, I remember that I was teaching about the plan of
salvation and for some reason I was holding a pan. She said it was the
"pan" of salvation hahaha okay okay so here's another one of our
treasured conversations we had this week. So we were in the car driving home
and we somehow got on the conversation of Christmas and how we should get a leg
lamp like on the Christmas story haha but Herm. Peterson was like "no!
it's immodest!" so I said that we'll just put a skirt on it! haha okay
it's alot funnier if you are a missionary haha im just imagining this modest
leg lamp in our window and our jesus picture on our door. Yep, that's the
missionaries!
So that's the fun stuff that's been going on
this week, we laugh a lot haha there are so many great things about Hermana
Peterson. We also have great sister roommates, Sister Toone and Sister Ballif!
They are both awesome examples to me! Sister Toone has the voice of an angel
and so she makes our morning songs so great. and Sister Ballif is super funny
haha but at the same time super spiritual. You need both of those to be a
missionary. I'm greatful for a lot of things this week. I'm grateful for my
family for one. LOVE YOU GUYS! and I'm grateful to have this gospel. This week
at church I had to bear my testimony in spanish in my ward of hispanics haha
they are great I love them! Even though my spanish is still improving they are
so supportive and so I'm greatful for my ward and I'm so grateful Heavenly
Father sent me here to get to know and serve them! les quiero!! I'm greatful
for this opportunity to serve a mission, because I am going to be a totally
different person for the rest of my life. And it is definitely a life changing
experience let me tell ya! and I'm only 4 months in! But I have seen more
miracles here than I've ever seen in my life. One of them is seeing how true
this church really is and how it changes lives.
I dont have much time
left BUT! I want to tell you about one of our investigators we are teaching.
She is a single mom who is really searching for the truth in this world. and
she wants to be able to give her daughter the answers to her questions when she
grows up. We just taught her this week about prophets and recieving
personal revelation to know what is true in this life even though there is so
much confusion. It was one of those "earthquake" lessons where the
truth just shakes you to the core and the Holy Ghost is just so present that
all you can feel is love and comfort. ya, it was one of those. We had the
Elders over as well and Elder Buchanon told his conversion story and it was
amazing! We then simply bore our testimonies of how we have all personally come
to know that this church is true.
Missions are the best! It's a two way
conversion. You learn just as much as you teach and everyday you find out how
happy this gospel makes you and everyone around you.
THIS CHURCH IS TRUE!
THIS CHURCH IS TRUE!
I'm grateful for a loving Heavenly Father who
has given me a great family, the opportunity to serve a mission, to have
trials, and opposition, and to have the opportunity to learn and grow and love
others! I am SO grateful for Jesus Christ and what he has done for us and how
much he really really really really does love us!!!!!
LOVE YOU ALLLLL!
HAVE A HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
LOVE HERMANA FICKLIN! <3
