quick email this week sorry!
first off I
have to correct myself the talk by elder hales is called "the covenant
of baptism: to be in the kingdom and of the kingdom"
We had
MLC last week (missionary leaders conference) and we talked a lot about
taking responsibility, we read a talk to prepare for it and it was
called "be 100 percent responsible" by lynn g robins and that talk has
changed my mission:) I've realized that sometimes you just have to go
the extra mile to see results. I wish I could sum up the talk but it's
just too good so you just have to read it haha. another talk that I read
this week was called "the lord doesn't grade on a curve". We need to
encourage other peoples talents and not become discouraged from them.
often we compare our weakest points to other peoples strongest points.
sorry this first paragraph is just going to be really random but I just
love sharing things that I've learned. so we know that the book of
mormon is the cornerstone of our religion. As missionaries we do all we
can to persuade people to read it, to give it a chance and pray about it
because that witness that we receive from the Holy Ghost that the book
of mormon is the word of God becomes the cornerstone of our faith in
Jesus Christ and that His church is restored. cool fact: there will be 5
things that we will stand before to be judged; Jesus Christ, the
scriptues, apostales, our bishops, and ourselves.
This
week we had exchanges with the Charlottetown sisters. sister
degraffenreid is a new missionary and so it was great spending a day
with her. I just can't believe that Im not a new missionary anymore
haha. I was just reading in enos too mom haha and that's cool how you
pointed out that he started praying for his brethren because that is
what stuck out to me:) I need to pray more for the sisters in my zone,
there are a few companionships who are struggling. all of the sisters
have so much potential and their areas have so much potential too and
they just need the faith that there are people for them to teach.
There were so many people at church on sunday!
it was amazing! the lee wins are a family in the branch and they have 6
kids haha and Helena is the youngest. Oh my she is hilarious, she is 4
years old and is just a free spirit. she came up to me and said "can you
please just let me sit on your lap i'm not a stanger, I'm just helena"
hahah I wish everyone could just meet her.
right now we are teaching millie, nicole, brittany and dave, and tony. I will try and elaborate more on them next week!
We have a branch halloween party that we are planning that I will send lots of pictures of, hopefully it is a success!!
I love you! have a great week:)
love sister wood
