| Winnie the Pooh is my favorite! :) |
This week was a little interesting. It's not going to have a lot of details, sorry.
Monday
we had sisters preparation day. We made graham-cracker gingerbread houses. Mine was a
castle with me as the Princess gummy bear! :) It was great.
Tuesday
we had a car fast. But no bikes this time :( But it was still pretty
good. We got to Light the World. It was really cool because the two
people that we shared it with really needed it that day. God has a
perfect plan. But it was so cold that day. I was shivering for an hour
before I could warm up. And my lips were purple. I have never been so
cold in my life. It was crazy.
Wednesday we had snow!!! Yay!
We also had a zone meeting. That was really good. I think the biggest
thing I learned was how personal and far reaching the Atonement really
is. I know this is probably common knowledge but it blew my mind.
Everyone has their own personal trials. I don't believe that any one is
the same because no one person is the same. We all react differently to
different things and have different personalities. And so when I thought
about Christ going through every single on of those trials for every
single person... blew my mind. And that is why He is my personal Savior.
Food for thought. We also got to teach some people so that was good. We
taught a potential investigator that said she reads the Book of Mormon everyday but I'm not too
sure she really does, cause she didn't have a clue what we were talking
about. But that's OK and really cool if she does. We then went to visit a less active member who was very hesitant to let us in but she said we could for 10
minutes. An hour later we got to share the Christmas video with her and she
just loved it. So we had a great conversation. I love when that
happens. Also, we had dinner with the Schrecengosts!! It was really
funny cause I was like, I know that name, it's not a very common name.
Yup, it's the former stake president's son. Also random note, our Sister Training Leaders met
Brother Shim ( I can't remember if that's him) and he asked about me
apparently.
Anyway, Thursday was kind of a slow day. We met
with Sister McCormac. She is so funny to me. Really sweet lady but just
cant get to Church because of health. Sad. We also had a cool lesson
with another less active members, the Kautz. It was cool cause we shared the Christmas
video and the dad had already downloaded the calendar with the 25 ways. I
thought that was cool. One day they will return.
Friday we
had a trainer's meeting and that was really great. I learned a lot about
teaching and obedience. It was really good. The rest of the day we were
just trying to visit with the widows in our ward. They are so cute. And
they really appreciated us coming to visit them. They get so lonely, it's
really sad. But then we went to see Victoria and she is just really
struggling. It was so sad. I just had so many scriptures running through
my head that I wanted to share with her, so I wrote them on a sticky
note.
Saturday was another long day and not the normal day
but we had a great lesson with a less active member and she was really into it. I don't
know what was the difference this time but it was really personal to her
and she just wanted to learn so much more. We shared the story of the
woman with the issue of blood, which is one of my favorites. So it was
really great. We had Stake Conference that night too and Elder Schmile
(?) of the Seventy came to talk to us. He is really cool and has a lot
of good things to say. Funny guy too.
Sunday was another Stake Conference. We also had this really cool Christmas concert for our Stake and it was so good. It was cool too cause I got to see a lot of
people from Red Leaf and even someone from Henderson. LOVE. That made my
night.
Well that is the week in a nutshell. I can't wait to
see you all. I hope you have a wonderful week. Keep loving and keep
believing. Don't let the Atonement go to waste and make it personal!
Much love,
Sister Richards
PS: Yes mom, I have made the pat of butter. Still working on it too! :)
