Okay so this week I don't even know what happened. It wasn't
that great of a week. Nothing happened that was necessarily bad this week but just
not too exciting.
Highlights: We went on our last exchange this week. It was
with the Crystal Lake sisters. I stayed in our area with sister miller and
Sister Clegg (like egg) went with sister Corbridge to Crystal Lake. Pretty
uneventful although I did get to teach Nette again with the Apple Valley
sisters. It's funny I was transferred but have taught her the Restoration, Plan
of Salvation, Gospel of Jesus Christ, Word of Wisdom and Law of Chastity.
Basically all the main lessons. She may have to have her baptism pushed back a
week do to a technicality but it's gonna happen! So excited for her. She is one
of the most chill investigators and has some of the most faith I've ever seen
in a person.
Also we got to see Sammie this week! Man that lady is SO
COOL! Remember that she has no religious background and now within 2 weeks of
us teaching she is praying for her enemies and asking us for bible and book of
Mormon verses to help her with her chaotic life and just has so much faith and
willingness to test out our message and take a leap of faith. We are hoping to
set a baptismal date with her before next week! She was going to be at church
on Sunday but her two year old got sick the night before :/ sad.
So then the other crazy thing that happened so a little back
story to this. Last Monday we had a zone specialty training and I wanted an
interview with president to ask him for some clarifications on a couple of
rules. At the end he was like of by the way one of the sisters in Duluth is
going home a week before transfers so we'll need to transfer a sister probably
in your zone and it'll probably be either you, sister Clegg, or sister miller.
So we got a call from president this morning that sister Clegg is being
Emergency Transferred to Duluth and she leaves tomorrow (Tuesday) afternoon.
Sooooo yeah. That's crazy. She's going rogue and will be traveling by bus by
herself for three hours. I'm gonna be in a tripanionship with the Crystal Lake
sisters until next week during actual transfers. So yeah. Guess we'll see who
my next companion is next Monday so stay tuned!
Fun Fact:
Our toilet was broken and I jimmy rigged with dental floss
and now it works just fine. #GhettoStatusAchieved
Spiritual Thought of the Week:
"In other words, true and perfect worship consists in
following in the steps of the Son of God; it consists in keeping the
commandments and obeying the will of Father to that degree that we advance from
grace to grace until we are glorified in Christ as he is in his Father. It is
far more than prayer and sermon and song. It is living and doing and obeying.
It is emulating the life of the great Exemplar." - How to Worship, Bruce
R. McConkie, October 1971, General Conference.
Super great talk and quote by Elder McConkie. I love how he
exhorts us to continue to worship in the correct way (which he goes over in his
talk on how to do that) until it becomes more meaningful and apart of us than
just a prayer, sermon, or song. When we are truly worshiping we will be living
like Christ would. Following his perfect example :)
Love you All!!!!!!!
Love, Sister Richardson
