Hola mi familia!
Thanks to all who supported me in the form of an email this week. It is much appreciated. Sorry bout your experience in Wyoming boys. Glad that your scriptures were safe Dawson. Sorry Justin that your PMG was stolen....priceless i know. But you're all still alive and you still have the gospel. :) Well I'm about to be an aunt and that is exciting. Please tell her hello and give her a kiss for me.
So just a quick update....I'm still a missionary..... We work hard.... We teach and testify often.... Its great! So Jason was baptized. It was marvelous. Remember Dan? Well we had to hand him over to the elders cuz hes actually in their area but he chose July 18th to be baptized. He already has the gospel glow! We are working on some new ideas for getting referrals from members. Any ideas? Begging doesn't work. haha! just kidding!
well today the Sippels are taking Katie, Sister Stevens, and i mini golfing. Wont that be fun?
Well this week I am very grateful for the priesthood. We were going through a bit of a stressful time and were able to receive blessings from Brother Sippel. It helped me feel peace and be reassured of the love and plan that God has for me. And brother Sippel respects and honours his priesthood. Before he gave us our blessings he went and shaved and got on his suit. What an example of respect that we should have for the power and authority to act in Gods name. I will always remember that.
Missionary work is kind of like a pineapple:) Mostly sweet and delicious but a little bit hard in the middle. I'm grateful for the hard parts though. I know its growing me as a person. And I'm grateful to be able to suffer a bit.
"If it so be that we suffer with Him, For i reckon that the suffering at this present time is not worthy to be compared to the glory which shall be revealed in us." Romans 8.
The church is true!
Love, sister flake
