Wow, it was a crazy week. Like, I don't think I have had a week this weird in a while! But I attribute it all to how tired I am. Not even kidding, my brain is dead these days! Poor Sister Harvey probably thinks I'm going loopy! For example, I accidently used her toothbrush this week...oops! So gross haha, but luckily she had an extra in her suitcase so she didn't have to use it after I did. Oh man, I still can't believe that happened. So sorry a head of time if this email makes zero sense:) But even with all the tiredness, we still go go go...go every day and I love it all!
Tuesday we had our zone training. It went really well! I don't know if I am just too out of it to worry any more, but I think that I am getting much better at instructing. My favorite part is when something I say then leads the spirit to teach another missionary something and then their comment allows the spirit to teach me something. Because it truly is Him who teaches us the best! And I learned so much from all the instructions! I just love missionary meetings. They are the BOMB. After zone training we jumped right into an exchange with the canyon sisters. I love them so much! The sisters there right now are Sister Jackson and Baby Perez!! And we are doing exchanges differently now, so we can focus more on training the sisters. So, now they both come to our area and we blitz Pampa. It was crazy and I felt bad for Sister Harvey because she doesn't really know where anything is yet, but she did amazing! I was with Sister Jackson and we had such a good time. I have known her since she first came out and it is amazing to see all her growth and how she's changed. It is inspiring and so exciting to see! So that entire day was just way too fun and full of miracles.
Thursday was such a strange day. We were out on bikes and luckily it was gorgeous out! It was warm (well, like 40-50 degrees) and sunny! We met some amazing people with lots of potential! And also some interesting people that tried to save us and were basically praying for us, because they are so worried that we are lost....Those situations are always interesting. There is much anti here in the bible belt, so people sometimes don't really see who we are! But I love when we get the chance to declare truth and help them.
Saturday was our temple day and that was much needed. I just love being able to go and escape from the world. There is much negativity around us constantly so it is such a blessing that our Father literally gives us an escape from it all, where we can learn, feel the spirit, and grow closer to Him.
The adversary is good at making us feel like worthless. But I cannot even express how joyous it is to have the gospel and how Christ can pull us out and up from those feelings. Church was about peace and the spirit and the Plan of Salvation and how it all fits together. The messages were perfect, and after church I was able to receive a priesthood blessing that completely changed my outlook on life and the work I am doing. I now feel like I am flying, because I was willing to rely on Christ. I love how that works! President Monson said in this last conference, "When we make Christ the center of our lives, our fears will be replaced by the courage of our convictions". I know that this is true, and I know by my own personal experience. Christ loves us, He heals us, and He helps us to become stronger everyday.
I love you all and hope you have a wonderful week!
