Hm.... I don't have a lot to say this week I
think. It's been a good, enjoyable week. We had some really great
lessons where there was no doubt the Holy Ghost was present and I was
able to be prompted to say things that just popped into my mind. Neat
stuff for sure.
Also, we had a visit from none other than Elder Quentin L. Cook of
the Twelve. I think he stopped by our mission on his way to somewhere
else in North Carolina but it was neat. He took the time to shake the
hand of each missionary in our mission because he said he likes to look
into our faces and see who we are. So I have now shook the hand of one
of the Twelve and can check that off my bucket list. The meeting was
really great though because it was like we weren't just being taught in a
meeting but more like a great conversation over lunch, he was just so
personable. He left our mission with a great blessing too. Elder Cook
told us to not underestimate the power of our faith as missionaries and
so this weekend, Sister Whitmer and I, wanted to fast for our
investigator, Cearra, and I had his comment about the power of our faith
in my mind the whole time.
We've been getting ready for Hickory's Celebration of Christ the
week after Thanksgiving and having choir rehearsals. It's been fun and
reminds me of institute choir back home and singing at Temple Square and
I loved doing it. We got permission to have our whole zone create a
missionary choir to perform at Celebration of Christ since a lot of
non-member community people come to the event. I am excited for it.
My companion and I also got a new investigator that the elders had
been teaching but turned over to us because they felt like she could
connect better to sisters. I think they were absolutely right, and
already it's made a whole lot of difference. Her name is Kristina and
she has a lot to overcome so if you could pray for her also, thanks!
I love all y'all and the church is true!
