Hace Frio!
Feliz Marzo! Happy March! I can't believe that yet another month has gone by in
the mission field! It's going by to fast! aahhhh!! welp. I've still got a year
left, so I don't have to worry to much yet (:
Some news for you this week that I forgot to
tell you last week is that our Mission President, President Clements, called us
and told us that he had to leave for three weeks to deal with a work emergency,
and that President Ehlert would be presiding as Mission President until he
returns. So from now until the next transfer we've got President Ehlert. We
love both of them though! So that's been new this week and we've had a zone
conference with him and he's given us a lot of revelation on being better
missionaries!
The zone leaders also
got ipads! which hopefully means that we are in transition to get ipads as
well. I really hope so, they would be a huge help! We also got steppers! I'm
not quite sure what you call them but they count the number of steps you
take...steppers right? haha I dont know but we were given them at zone
conference and they are pretty high tech. President Ehlert talked about how
exercising and moving is a natural way of dealing with stress and anxiety and
depression. The more you move, the happier you are! Our goal is to get in
10,000 steps a day. I've come to realize how much I actually don't move! My
highest so far is 6,731 steps. It's a work in progress.(:
So this week has been
a cold one! ay yayay. it dropped down to -14 the other day and its been in the
below 0 range the rest of the days. Brrr. Haha okay so our apartments
that we live in are really close to the mission office and so we stop by every
once in a while to get supplies and we get the chance to see the Mission President
and all of the office Sisters which we love (: every week or so. Haha so we
stopped by today and President Ehlert was in his office with his assistants and
we said hi to them and President Ehlert said jokingly to us that they were just
discussing this week whether or not they should send down hell fire to
Minnesota to warm it up because its been so cold! hahaha we had a good laugh at
that. It's seriously been so cold though. It's supposed to warm up next week
for good though! I sure hope they're right!
We had exchanges this
week as well and I got to be companions with Hermana Peterson again for a day!
it was a lot of fun and it's always exciting to introduce your investigators to
them because you talk about them so much, they are like your family! You become
like the crazy cat lady who, when you come over to her house she pulls out her
album full of nothing but photos of all of the cats she's ever owned in her
life. I have yet to meet a crazy cat lady actually... I think that would be
kind of fun. I like cats. But anyway we had fun and we got to teach some of my
favorite investigators that day, which is great! mi familia!
We've found a lot of
prepared people this week that I'm really excited about and I really pray that
they are going to progress in the gospel (: It really is so cool to see people
change and to see that they can see a difference in their lives when they start
to follow the gospel and how much happier it makes them. We heard just the
other day that one of the people that we found knocking doors about a month ago
that the english sisters are teaching, is going to church and she says that she
feels really happy when they come over and she wants that more in her life. I
think everyone searches for happiness and when we finally find that in life,
that's got to be the greatest feeling ever. I've seen it time and time again
here on the mission and I know that what this gospel brings is true happiness.
Eternal Joy!
That's what life is
all about, to have joy! We just gotta know where to find it! And that true joy
is in the gospel of Jesus Christ!
Well, until next week!! enjoy the warm
weather in Utah!
Love you all!
Love Hermana Ficklin
