Boy did this week have it's fair share of ups and downs. Let's start with my all time favorite up, so one day me and Sister Curtis we're feeling super skressed and down so we decided to get some snacks, Sister Curtis wanted a cook out shake and I wanted a Krispy Kreme doughnut. So we went to the Krispy Kreme drive through and o ordered one doughnut, and the lady working there gave us another one and said "I couldn't let y'all just have one". It was a small thing, but a big tender mercy. We also saw an alligator on our drive home!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW, such majestic creatures.
for district council sister Curtis gave a lit training on planning for the people. also Elder Robb (our new district leader) gave this super complex and funny last minute training also on planning, where he compared the weekly planning to the building of Solomon's temple.
We had exchanges this week! this was my first time taking over the area in exchanges and I was so nervous!! but it was so so chill!! I was with sister Wells and she's a huge book nerd (like me) so the whole exchange we talked about books and writing and It was so so cooollll and super fun! we tried a lot of people and we taught Kristy and almost taught Bernette ( but he had to reschedule) After 9 we made milkshakes and talked about books, it was lit!
This week we met the coolest part-member family!!!!!!!!!!! the Olsen family!!!!! Delon is an inactive member and Amanda is a non-member, but family is a big thing in their lives and they're very interested in learning, we had dinner with them later this week and we shared Helaman 5:12 and we talked about how the Gospel is a sure foundation of truth in this world, they really liked it! we also got to hold their pet snake!
We had a funny dinner with the Weatherholtz this week. before we went over there we were in our service clothes (the first time I wore Jeans on the Mission LIT!!!!) and we were helping Sister Nelson move out and so we had the dinner right after and we were going back to help her move right after dinner so Sister Weatherholtz let us eat in our service clothes lol! it was so fun!
We're pretty sad that Sister Nelson is moving away, but we're really happy for her because she found this really great guy and this is a chance for a fresh start for her.
We also had dinner with the Crapses! they took us to Red Lobster!!
Karla came to church again and we finally got her introduced to the Bishop, She's really cool she has a strong desire to repent and come back to the church, she's awesome!
This Preparation day we went to the Fountain at Forsythe Park, it was nice and relaxing. Fun Fact! I can start driving tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!! it's going to be so so weird, I haven't driven since before the MTC hopefully I still know how. This week I really saw how God blesses us with miracles through hard times. probably my favorite scripture this week is Helamen 5:12, it really brought the spirit into our lesson with the Olsen's and it's a real comforting scripture.
I love all of you so much!
Sister Maller
