Okie so my companion! She is a hoot AND a holla. We have an absolute blast together!! She and I are actually pretty similar. We already have a SWEET dinner plan going, which I am wildly excited for. We also have the same kind of excitement and likes. I like good food, baking, art, singing, and the gospel and she loves it all too!! I'm so excited for this next transfer and I'm praying that we don't get ripped from each other. There's a bunch of new missionaries coming into our mission, so many Sisters are either getting split up or they are getting put in trios. Honestly, I think trio life would be an absolute blast! And really I don't think they'd split us up because I'm following up training Sister Whitcomb currently. I guess I might get to trip train, but who knows?! Life is never as it seems. Always something new and exciting waiting just around the next bend or turn. How fun!!
Things are constantly moving and changing over here. Including the weather!! Friday we woke up to some snow flurries. That was fun. And then Saturday was in the 80's. I don't understand this place. Still love it, but I'm hopping around from winter to fall to summer clothes and I think we really just need to make a decision here.
We have been rolling the work along so quick! One day we had about 30 minutes of downtime before our next appointment and we decided to call some people who were in our records who had been interested but who we hadn't been in contact with for a while. These phone contacts are an absolute dread for the majority of missionaries. Mostly for me because I'm terrible at making conversation, but also because often people are more comfortable being rude over the phone. So I went in with trepidation for these next few minutes. However, the first guy picked up and we had a full conversation with him and told him that we would love to talk with him more and he invited us to call him anytime!! It was so cool!! He was excited to hear from us again! Then the second call was to this cute lady, who did not speak much English but tried so hard and we mentioned doing English lessons with her and she was absolutely ecstatic! We asked if we could also share more about the Books of Mormon and she said she'd love to!! It was wild! And then our 30 minutes were up and we moved into our amazing lessons! Our friend Chuck is still very excited for his baptism (still left to the imagination as to when that will be, but we're praying!) He loves to share fun things he reads from the Book of Mormon and is trying to see if he could possibly finish sometime soon! Chuck is basically a better member of The Church than I am!
This week I wanted to talk about how good God truly is. He gave us His Son as a sacrifice. Knowing how painful it would be. Knowing the cost was Jesus Christ's life. To me, that shows incredible faith. Faith in the Plan. Faith in His Son. Faith in the Power of Justice and Mercy. Wow it's amazing. I'm finding myself draw even closer to my Savior as I study His atoning sacrifices. I have felt the power of that sacrifice in my life. I know the feeling of your sins being lifted from your shoulders and it is inexplicable and perfect. I am so eternally grateful for Him. I'm so grateful for that power in my life.
WOW I just love this gospel and my Savior. Words cannot describe.
Mosiah 15:9
"Étant monté au ciel, ayant les entrailles de la miséricorde, étant rempli de compassion envers les enfants des hommes, se tenant entre eux et la justice, ayant rompu les liens de la mort, prenant sur lui leur iniquité et leurs transgressions, les ayant rachetés et ayant satisfait aux exigences de la justice." Par Jésus-Christ, nous pouvons être libérés des péchés et des ennuis. Laissez-le vous aider!
Câlins et bisous, Sœur Morrison
Onward and Upward
Que Dieu vous bénisse
