Okay so I kind of forgot my notes again, Im getting kind of bad at that so
I am going to try and remember EVERYTHING to tell you.... which is a lot! Its
been a great week! We met this lady Im not sure if Ive told you about her but I
think I have, her name is Maybel she is from Nigeria. Well we went to dinner at
her apartment and she just fell in love with us. She gave us Nigerian names...
Mine is Ose which means beauty. She just makes me feel so loved! She made the
SPICIEST FOOD!!!! it tasted so good. Then she sent us home with his HUGE thing
of spicy rice and we added it to our veggie chili that tastes mmhmmm sooo good!
I met with President Thomas this week. What is going to happen is either one of
us (me or Sister Hutchinson) are going to have to train or they are going to
have us finish our training and have Sister Rush train again. So i guess we will
find out soon enough since transfers are like RIGHT BEHIND THE CORNER!!! It is
so crazy how fast time flys. I feel like ive been here for years that have been
squished into hours that are really only days and weeks.
We met with this lady
and when we asked her to be baptized she said "ya i knew i would be sooner or
later"!!! yay! now we are setting up a date, today actually if everything goes as
planned (cross my fingers). It makes me so excited when anyone does anything to
come closer to Christ. That is the ultimate goal and some people go faster than
others and some people have to go really really slow. We got to meet Janes baby this week
(rosa)! she is so cute and so strong for everything she has been through. It
cost a lot in parking to go see her especially because we went to the wrong
hospital to start out with but its worth it. She means so much to her Mom and we
were honored that she wanted us to be included in that part of her life.
The
language barriers are getting really hard here. We have a couple of
investigators who we want to progress but they dont understand what we are
saying all the time, they just know that we have good stuff to say. With God we
will get through it but it will take time. We did an FHE with this family. It
was wonderful it gave us trust with the kids and allowed the mom to have a
moment of real peace not just alone time with her kids. We also went and taught
soemone who we found by a member moving and her moving in. She is very receptive
to the gospel and it will be interesting to see where she ends up. Appointments
have been falling through so we are trying to figure out what is making the
difference because we want to be doing the Lords work and apparently we are
doing something wrong. I guess we will figure it out eventually.
This hispanic
family fed us this week... THE FOOD PORTION SIZES WERE HUGE!!!!!! but don't worry
I can pack some food down ;).
OK so
this weekend was stake conference and Elder Foster came down. He is amazing. He
is from Rigby none the less and guess what, Grandpa Harrison taught him in high
school. He said hi to grandpa and they were all excited because I reminded them
of home. We then had a wonderful zone training with them and wow talk about
feeling the fire of missionary work after that. We are going to have to kick it
up if we want to accomplish everything we thought of, good thing im good at
taking care of my body. We did a music number too at the zone conference, it
was great! Speaking of which Sister Rush teaches lessons in her sleep. She got
mad at me for not staying awake during the lesson and I was almost in tears
until I realized that whelp, it was two in the morning and I have every right to
sleep. She got sister Hutchinson this week too... There is no sleep for the
working according to sister Rush. Oh Elder Montoya, one of my zone leaders is
from Virginia but he went to BYUI the same time I did... Weird connection, and I
met an elder up here from Idaho Falls! It is funny the connections I find up
here, oh plus I met Elder Barfuss! (mom's second cousin's boy) we didnt get to talk long but we met and we
have plans to talk more next time so hopefully, he is SUPER nice! All the elders
here are wonderful! I should write more next week when i have my notes but those
were the highlights of my week! I love you all and hope you all the best, you
are in my prayers and in my heart!!!!!!
Love Sister Harrison
