So to explain my email title... An elder in our zone asked our
district what parts of cottonwood we cover. And cottonwood is so
spaced out that we each have a HUGE area. So my district leader says
"everything the light touches is ours.... But do you see that small
dark spot? That's Jerome.... We cover everything except Jerome" it was
so funny! Jerome is a little city on the side of the mountain that
missionaries can't go to... Because I guess some bad stuff happened
there, and it's a ghost town. So we don't go there :)
So this past week was CrAzY!! My companion and I cover a family ward
and a YSA ward. The YSA pretty much covers everything. It covers
cottonwood and the small cities around it, verde Valley and Sedona. So
we are all over the place! On Tuesday we tried to go and find one of
our YSA members, he wasn't there sadly but there was a guy named
Joseph sitting on the steps of the apartment kind where we were. He
called us over and asked us who we were and we told him. We then asked
if we could share a message about Jesus Christ with him! He goes "well
shoot, if it'll be interesting I wouldn't mind one bit!" And so we
shared the video "because of him" after the video I asked him how he
liked it and he replied " that was the most powerful and amazing video
ever!" So of course we were excited and we scheduled to talk with him
again! He's a really awesome guy!!
On Thursday we had mission tour, which is when someone really
important comes to talk to our mission. We were privileged to hear
from Elder and sister Arnold of the 70! What a coincidence right??! :)
when we first got there we were able to introduce ourselves to elder
and sister Arnold. And soon as sister Arnold saw my name tag she
shrieked "oh my daughter!!" Haha and she called me that for the rest
of the day, it was great :) Elder arnold talked to us about how we can
improve our missionary strategies. He talked to us about how to study
effectively and how to ask inspired questions. It was a really great
conference!!
Yesterday we were able to meet with our family of 5 on date for
baptism. They are so ready to be baptized and be apart of this faith.
Sister Bingham and I are always super excited to go and teach them
because we feel such an amazing spirit in their home. They are
constantly trying to learn and improve and it makes us so excited for
their baptism!! :)
I'm really grateful that I have the opportunity to serve a mission.
Yes, missions are incredibly hard but they are SO worth it. You will
receive countless blessing when you do. It's amazing the things I have
learned while being on my mission, and the things I continue to learn.
Turn to Christ in your times of need and I promise he will always be
there for you. He is the ONLY person who has felt what you felt and
experienced what you experienced. He loves you and I know this is
true. I'm so thankful to have the gospel in my life, I'm not sure what
I would do without it.
Have a great week!!!!
