Hola familia!
Yes, that is the title of my email. God has a major sense of humor and let me tell you why. We got a call last Saturday while we were at a baptism. President Andersen called Hma Reed to be a trainer. She has only been out 7 weeks! She was freaking out. We were all freaking out for her. Plus, now shes is leaving our companionship and that makes us really sad. Well then we got a call this morning and found out that she is not training a new missionary, but retraining a disobedient missionary. Yep. We've been praying about a lot of different things lately and this is how the Lord decided to answer. I just feel bad, shes kind of had a hard week. Her bike got stolen on Tuesday and its just been kind of rough. But she will be an amazing trainer and she will grow closer to the lord in this experience.
So let me tell you more about my week. First of all I have crossed two more things off my list. I saw a possum and have experienced many thunderstorms this week. Cool right?!? (yes my companions think I'm weird) On Tuesday we did service on a farm for a Sister in the Church. I worked a weedwacker Dad!! It was fun. What wasn't fun though was that I was driving a little cart with my companions and saw a snake. Yes I freaked out a little, maybe a lot. Yes it was a little embarrassing but Im over it. Oh, and I might never return home from this mission. For some reason though I hardly ever got dates at home I just seem to be the most popular thing here in Tennessee...to the mosquitos! I have about 20 bites as of this moment. Yep I might just get eaten alive. So if I never come home, put that on my gravestone. (sorry, too soon?)
Last but not least, we had Zone conference this week. We got a lot of great training and got to meet the Mission President again. I feel like we are really starting to come to a knowledge of our purpose here in White House. Its been so hard juggling two major towns, but they want us to focus in White House but there is just no Spanish work here. We have been praying hard to know what to do. Something I read this week though talked about the importance of making what is important to the Lord important to us. We talked a lot about this and figured that he called us to labor here and so this must be important to him. We just have to figure out what it is. I am so thankful for the blessings we have received from blind compliance to what the Lord asks. I know that we will know in time, but Im greatful for that opportunity to strengthen my faith. Hermana Hendricksen and I have our work cut out for us. We are excited for the work. Keep praying to him. something I read in PMG said that he extended the invitation for us to pray, so he will answer because he asked.
Thank you so much for all the emails and pictures for this week. I Love them!!! Have a great week everyone!
