Hey friends! I definitely didn't send my email last week. Again. Whoopsie.
It's the end of the transfer so you know what that means..........
I'm..........
Staying in Hampstead with Sister Im!!! Unfortunately, Sister Swann is leaving us and I'm super bummed. She's been one of my favorite companions, and we get along really well. I love her but I'm happy she gets to go to a new area! Any kind of change is so nice during quarantine.
Buuuuttttt I just bought a bamboo steamer so this transfer is gonna be amazing! We have some big plans for our diet these next 6 weeks.
So, we finally got to do some service. I've been dying for it AND to top it all off, Heavenly Father made sure that it rained the entire time we were outside! We got to go huck some corn for the food bank. A sweet old farmer grows a square purely for the Maryland Food Bank and then volunteers go through and pick it all! It was so much fun! One of the counselors in the mission presidency helped set everything up so he was out there with us! The Spanish Elders that serve in our ward got to come as well so it was a missionary party! Our area is not conducive to much service opportunities, and the last time the Elders tried to take pictures of headstones for family history, they got the cops called on them. Soooo our options are very slim, but all is well! We are still having tons of fun! Then we also got to go harvest potatoes for a mourning and that was amazing. We even got to keep some and I sure do love my potatoes so I was a very happy missionary.
So, with Sister Swann leaving we finally were able to make it out to the "best frozen custard" place in town. Don't you love how there are little ice cream/frozen custard places sprinkled all over the country and every town claim to have the best one? They're all amazing and unique and this one was adorable. I apologize for my squinty face. I was temporarily blinded by the sunshine.
So yeah. Our week was very interesting. I have been thinking a lot recently about the importance of a testimony. It's the kind of fuel that doesn't fade. It's motivation when we feel sad, stress, anger, confusion, or fear. Our testimony is the strands of hope that hold everything in place. I highly encourage everyone to do all they can to continue to build their testimonies by prayer, scriptures, and daily studies. When I go a day without reading my scriptures, I feel awful. Honestly. I am totally off, I don't feel uplifted or happy. I can have a good day but there's always the feeling that I messed up somewhere. That's because I didn't start my day with the Lord. I'm 100% serious when I say it makes me smile more. It brightens my soul! We all need more light in our life, so just let your testimony grow to be that light.
I love you all so very much and I hope you all know how much I appreciate you!
Alma 12:15
《15 Mais cela ne peut être : nous devons nous lever et nous tenir devant lui dans sa gloire, et dans son pouvoir, et dans sa puissance, sa majesté et sa domination, et reconnaître, à notre honte éternelle, que tous ses jugements sont justes, qu’il est juste dans toutes ses œuvres et qu’il est miséricordieux envers les enfants des hommes, et qu’il a tout pouvoir de sauver tout homme qui croit en son nom et produit du fruit digne du repentir.》
Câlins et bisous, Sœur Morrison

Que Dieu vous bénisse
