How was everyone's week? My week has been good, it
has been a pretty quick week again and time seems to be molding
together. My companion and I are staying together for another 6 weeks!
I'm super excited because we work so well together, and are seeing some
miracles! How are things back in Idaho? I would love some letters, so
let me know how things are back home! The weather here has been pretty
overcast, and HOT as always. We have had a couple of monsoons, but its
been pretty decent.
So a look back on this last week:
Monday:
We said Farewell to Sister Westfall, and did our normal P-day
activities. Later that night we had FHE with Sister Schroeder's members
because we had to split areas until she got a new companion. We had FHE
with a Patriarch, and an old Bishop it was fun! After we had pie and
brownies :)
Tuesday:
Today we had District Meeting, and then headed to a lesson with some
new investigators named Maria y Lupe. We taught the Restoration and
talked about the importance of having modern-day prophets. Later that
night we had dinner with the Garcia Family, and then a lesson with
Sister Schroeder's new convert Norma.
Wednesday:
Today we headed out to Stanfield #mosquitocity and had a lesson with
some of Sister Schroeder's investigators, later we did our normal
Spanish study, and Facebook proselyting hour. When we finished we had a
lesson with a guy named James with some members from the English ward.
We talked about the Word of Wisdom, and the Stop Smoking Packet. I kind
of struggled through this lesson because it reminded me a ton of Grandma
Pat, but I got through it and after the members bought us Chick Fil A
for dinner. We actually didn't have dinner so we headed over to Chick
Fil A and they walked in and bought us dinner. I think it's so awesome
that members are willing to always help out the missionaries. I'm going
to be that way when I return from my mission!
Thursday:
Today we had transfer meeting and Sister Schroeder got a new companion
named Sister Rawlings she is actually a Spanish missionary but she is
coming to English work for a transfer. Elder Collins who just finished
training became our new District Leader, and a TRAINER!! He is training a
new elder named Elder Hoyt from Chicago. Also I saw Elder Reese from
high school, he is Melissa's age, He just got into the mission are Wednesday.
Later that night we had dinner with Hermana Bautista and drove all they
way to Eloy #tootoughtodie After we found Walter my recent convert and
talked with him. After Eloy we headed back to Casa Grande, and had a
lesson with Noe, who was my first baptism here. He is amazing! We are
working with him right now to prepare to serve a mission. I have never
seen someone so determined to serve. His testimony has sky rocketed
since I met him! We read in Preach my Gospel with him, and at the end of
the lesson he was praying and said "thank you for the sisters for
helping me so I can be a good missionary" AHH! Yes lets get the papers
ready!!
Friday:
Today we had weekly planning then had zone lunch at Big Wa. Later we
found this little old Mexican guy named Roberto. He is so sweet and is
super interested in the Gospel. He is also afraid of the Second Coming
and loves to talk about it! After our lesson with him we had dinner with
Hermana Zarate and her family. Something that amazed me was I could
fully understand what she was saying in Spanish! It's such an
improvement because I used to not be able to understand a word she was
saying let alone speak back, but I had a full on conversation with her!
YES the Gift of Tongues is real!
Saturday:
Today we had the Women's Conference! It was the best ever! I loved the
talk from Sister Marriott and President Uchtdorf. It's amazing how
inspired they are to speak to us on topics our world needs right now.
Sunday:
Today was the Primary Program for our Branch and the 5th Ward. It was
so cute this little girl named Nubia who has Autism came up and kissed
me on the cheek. Her mom freaked because she has never liked any of the
Sister Missionaries, ever! She also won't interact with anyone, but she
will talk with me! It melts my heart! :) Her mom said "you must have a
special heart that she understands" :')
All in all it was a great week. I hope everyone is staying safe, and enjoying Fall in Idaho!
Con Amor,
Hermana Greenhalgh
