This week was crazy but great! So neither of us got
transferred but we did end up moving into the Hoke's house. This house is so
awesome!!
1. The Hokes said we can eat with them anytime we don't have
a dinner appointment. They also have chickens so we don't have to buy eggs.
2. We have a washer and dryer IN OUR HOUSE!!!! Its the most
beautiful thing ever. We live in the "mother-in-law" quarters so we
have a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and laundry area.
3. Did I mention that it was nice? basically we are spoiled
living here and we are so grateful!!
Our investigators came to church this week!!! All three of
the Blakes came and it was so great. They were all dressed up and looked like
members and even brought their books of mormon and everything (a couple people
asked if they had just moved into the ward and we were like "no their
investigators, who apparently already look like members.") Testimony
meeting was really good and Michael loved primary and I think they all had a
good experience. We have a lesson with them this week to get them started on
quitting smoking so hopefully it goes well.
Also Sister White came back here to visit!! I loved getting
to see her. It was just like old times and Sister Le got to meet her mission
grandmother.
We also went out with Kaitlin again this week (she lives in
a different ward but comes with us since there aren't sisters in her ward, so I
don't think I'm in the usevitch's grandma's ward) and she bore a really good
testimony in a lesson we had with Sister Curtner. We also talked to the awesome
young womens president in our ward about helping the young women do missionary
work so we are going to talk to them in yws or mutual soon. Young women are the
best so I'm excited.
New Years Eve and New Years day were just normal days for
us. The work was kinda slow again due to the holidays but were were able to
visit more less actives then we thought and we got to know a few more members
we haven't met.
This week I have been really seeing the power of prayer and
praying for specific things. I have a lot of goals of things that I want to get
better at this transfer but sometimes I think I overwhelm myself with wanting
to all of a sudden be good at everything. Sometimes I don't know what to do or
how to figure things out. Everytime I pray though I feel like everything is
going to work out and I get ideas of things I can do to start working on
whatever it is I'm trying to do. When I pray for specific things it helps me to
focus and when I take time to listen, Heavenly father always helps me to think
of what I can do. It has really been a testimony builder that Heavenly Father
is always listening and wants to help us in anyway he can. For most of my life
I've never really taken that much time to listen and to wait for what Heavenly
Father wants to tell me. It really makes a difference when I don't just do all
of the talking but when I also listen because that is when inspiration comes. I
am excited for this transfer and for all that Sister Le and I are going to try
to accomplish!! Thanks for your prayers!!
Love,
Sister Washburn
