Hello!!! Hey!! Hi!
Okay so I am super pumped right now. Hna. Corniea and I are staying together in the same area for another transfer! So I will finish up training her. I'm so excited! She's fresh and full of ideas for the ward. We've had a lot of great ideas this past week but didn't know how long we'd be here to implement them. But we're staying! I'm super excited.
Oh and we're only taking a half P-day today so we're rushing like CRAZY to get everything done by 1:00. We do the half P-day because we're going to the temple in LA this week!!!!! Cause we get to go for our birthday. I'm SO excited. I can't even tell you. So. Excited.
Okay! So this week has been fantastic. I love goals! Love them! We set some really high goals this week. It was intense. And they went really well! At the end of the week, we didn't quite meet all of our goals. We still wanted to get 3 more lessons with a member present, and 3 referrals contacted. But, those were both goals that are kind of out of our control and up to the members. But we did do everything we could to achieve them, and we still taught a lot of lessons with members. And we met or exceeded all the rest of our goals! So we got to have the peace of knowing we did the very best we could even though we didn't quite achieve every goal. But that's what this week is for! I love this new perspective. We've been learning a lot lately about having the eye of faith. We're trying to visualize all of our investigators in white. We can help them meet their goals too! It's gonna happen. I'm stoked.
So we had dinner with these amazing members this week. They have this perfect little home in the middle of an orchard! They're a young couple with two little angel daughters. The meal was nutritious and delicious. They pray together as a family every night before their dad has to go to work (because he works graveyard shifts). They have pictures of Christ on the walls and family home evening chart. And the mom was teaching her little daughters (2 and 4) about missionary work while we were there. I was amazed! We see so many broken home and it is just sad sometimes. This family was such an awesome example of how basing your family's foundation on the teaching of Jesus Christ makes the biggest difference in the home. My testimony of that = higher than ever!
My companion is hilarious and I love her. I love that we both want to work hard, set high goals, and have fun while doing it. Missionary work is the best! It all starts with having that eye of faith, and having the vision of what you want to accomplish.
Loveyousomuchyouareallamazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
