I don't know why you said you wouldn't have much to say? You need to buck up mom things are great even though I had an asthma attack and we got a late start on saturday... we set a baptismal date before we even left the apartment on sat. then had 4 more lessons that day. Then yesterday we had 14 investigators at church and taught 8 lessons. It was amazing! I am doing what I am supposed to be doing and the Lord is blessing me tremendously!!! I am around cats dogs and smoke all the time and this is the first even sign of trouble and we were able to give a lesson at the hospital. The Lord loves his children and works in mysterious ways I am grateful for that asthma attack so make sure the RS is praying for the right thing. I also live with a doctor who works with asthma patients which is awesome and they were mission presidents too. They are amazing and they take really good care of me. I have written you a couple of letters and sent pictures they should be coming soon I hope. You need to keep your chin up for me mom the Lord has been blessing me and you in ways that we could never even imagine! There are lots of things that you can say on the tape recorder you are just going to have buck up and sit down with a box of tissues and tell me about time out for women the dog in the back seat of the Raliegh Temple (hahahaha) Uncle Doug told me a little about that I laughed a lot. He sends me a letter almost every week with ice cream money haha. So there are lots of things to say. I want to hear from Mawmaw on it. All the things going on in the lives of two old women are important to me haha.
Toms are the shoes where you buy one pair and they send another pair to a needy child who doesn't have shoes. There is a Toms store here in Hot Springs and they have sparkly ones.
I have been buying pictures... I needed shower, face, body, etc stuff when I got here. Then I was told that we could have disney music and christian music so we found a five dollar sale and bought cds. we have had a lot of meetings lately and I have used my card for eating out and for the perscriptions etc because I was not figuring out how to check the balance on my church card but I did today and I have 97 dollars left on the church card.
I can't believe how wonderful things are. I had interviews with the president this past week and it was amazing he gave me a blessing so that I wouldn't have nightmares and I have not had one since!!! Sis Peterson gives me hugs and loves me and they both call me sister Glad of heart! I love them so much. I am learning to play the piano too! I am learning I know my Redeemer lives right now! So when I get home my goal is to be a pro!
It is crazy how the Lord prepares us in so many ways for so many things. I was teaching a lady just the other day and she struggles with diabetes, Bipolar, and schizophrenia. Then I was talking to two thers ladies in two different appointments and we talked about Montessori and how I have worked at a montessori school and then I was able to relate the gospel to it and talk about how similar the gospel is to montessori. It has been so cool. I am so grateful for how the Lord has prepared me in my life for the people that I will meet and teach!
I have learned a very valueable lesson recently. expectations=faith! IT is so important to keep our expectations high. We need to have the faith to swing the bat even when we don't see the pitcher or the ball. My companion and I have changed all of our language to positive uplifting language with high expectations filled with faith and we have seen miracles. Faith and fear can not and will not coexist!!!!
