Whew wee! Today marks 35 days left, and next Monday I'll be at 29. This is going by WAY too fast!
This week many things happened.
We saw dolphins at sunrise at the beach of the Atlantic ocean.
A HUMONGOUS zipper spider made his home in the frame of our front door.
We saved the lives of various tree frogs.
We sang off key in the car on purpose.
President Baker called us on the phone.
We learned that at some point we will be moving, hopefully.
Hermana Haywood received a transfer call and will be going to Elizabeth City, which is super close to here.
Hermana Gray is coming here..... I don't know her.
Mail did not come on Monday. So I'm expecting the mailbox to be overflowing tomorrow.....
Maybe that's too high of an expectation....... Well...... Vision
precedes goals....... So my vision is to have an overflowing mailbox,
and my goal is to receive mail.
Good plan.
Oh.... And I drove into a
fence. Don't worry. No one was hurt. And the woman that works at the
body shop used to live by the Church in Portsmouth. So it was actually
miraculous. Now we get to talk with her about the restored gospel! Go
team Gospel!
Yay!
I think that those are the most historic/eventful/unique things that happened this week.
I wrote some more things in my letter to Andrew this week.
Our Zone set a goal to have 5 baptisms in the month of September, to
teach 100 lessons in one week by the end of the month, and to invite
everyone to be baptized in the first of second lesson.
We had a zone fast, and by the end of the day there were 9 new people that were set with baptismal dates in the zone.
It's pretty incredible the power that there is in unity, and
real-intent. I know that Heavenly Father is so aware of us, and is
hearing and answering our prayers. It just all has to happen in His
time.
Which is better anyway because we have a time table limited
by a life span, and His time is measured by eternity--which is basically
limitless-- so His way is always better.
I started my very last planner yesterday. That was sad.
I'm sad that I have limited time left. For such I long
time I felt like it would never run out. I know that God is preparing
me for the next phase of the work, and that is my return home. So I
know that things will be okay. I just hope that I will have lots of
things to do because it's really hard to learn how to do nothing after
doing the most worthwhile thing for the last 17 months.
Well,
That's my epistle for the week.
Also a really wonderful Mormon Message.
