oh yeah the mission brings loads of sacrifices - no phone, no family, no friends, and your time, and your talents, but it is all for an amazing reason - BECAUSE I LOVE THE LORD - even the goat did it.
HI! So this week was crazy! for starters I spent the start of the week in the dentists office... it was crazy - but I don't think I have ever met such a great dentist before... no offense to corbin - BUT this guy was AMAZING! I loved it and I was there for 3 days in a row so they said I could put it as my temporary home...(slightly kidding but sort of not hahaha)
After all that business the rest of our week was slow lesson wise.. like the slowest ever! But we still kept pushing on - my trainer said that this was going to be the week where I was a "trainer" so she would be the trainee... yeah it didn't turn out that way because she really likes being the lead comp so I just was the trainee again.... as usual. Its hard at times because sometimes she takes too much of the lead and in lessons she may get on a role and wont stop to give me 2 secs except for when I have to extend an invitation... it makes me feel like I am not good enough for HER sometimes... I know I am good enough for the Lord or I wouldn't be out here, but at times it makes me feel that she doesn't think I am... I've told her about it and she tries. So I thank her for that. Sorry for venting but it is kinda hard - especially because she kept saying "youll be training next transfer so be ready" well I feel like I need more time to get the hang of things before I show someone how to do things I have never done before. but we are working at it and when we have that uinity I love it and the spirit is there and we both move forward together. Those are the lessons I love. She told me this week, when I started a lesson, that it went so well and that I did great, so she knows I can do it sometimes its just hard to compete for some time. oh well. we are working on it.
OH also yesterday President called and told sister P she would be training! So exciting which means I am not! YES! I used to be stoked about the idea of training but now I just want to know what it is like with a normal companion who has been out for sometime longer than I have. She didn't see that coming - I totally called it but whateves haha! So yeah I am probably leaving st cloud but not quit positive.. I will find out on Monday. cool!
Okay so also this week we made choco cookie cupcakes. they were bomb. Lisa is amazing! gah! chef with cat cora for crying out loud that's awesome! we also went tracting a handful of times and it was hilarious! Here is a great story: the other day we knocked on this door to find a 13yold boy who wouldn't look us in the eye, and we talked and i asked him a few questions to receive only "yes mam" as an answer and i gave him a Mormon.org card...THEN he then turned to his older brother further behind him in the house and yelled"jack, is the goat ready for sacrifice yet?!" we just said thanks and walked away... as we turned and he shut the door I said"Hey you do sacrifice too?!?" My comp died laughing hahah! ultra funny.
ALSO we were walking down the lakefront before dinner one evening and suddenly this car pulls up with a man yelling 'SISTERS" I was so excited because NO one does that. Turns out it is a Less Active, Dale Irvin, who is gay and lives with his partner Keith. THEY ARE THE BEST! I love them! Dale was a member his whole life and served a mission and has been struggling with this trial during his whole life. He gave in and now knows the consequences of his actions but he still knows and love his Heavenly Father and has a relationship with him. When I heard that I felt it. Anywho - so they are great and building a home for sister missionaries across from their house in OUR AREA! so basically - even though I may not be staying in st cloud I am trying to work it out so sisters can live in it asap because the Munns are moving out this week and LITERALLY everyone says that the worst street is Carolina because of all the murders and drugs... yes all plural. but oh well it is just like cherry ave all over again with the creepy dark house on the right and the sunny houses to the left.. (if you are inside the house) Also I just love working with less actives and helping them recognize the importance of church. We read "Lord I believe" wioth one family which was really powerful. I would invite all of you to read it! It is amazing! OH fact! my comp had Brother White as a chastity speaker at efy! so my one of my fav seminary teachers was her fav efy speakers.. RAD! wellp I love you all!
Write me a letter or something. I need birthdates. love you and pray for you! ps this was the first fast sunday I fully fasted and I also saw results with NO MIGRAINE... still figuring that out.. LOVE YOU SO MUCH! sister zoë HART
