hello!
yes yes it’s
all true its soo true. i am training. but get this get this. there are 3
sisters that came out 5 weeks ago that are also training! can you believe
that?! man. that would be so crazy to train that fast. so anyway. the sister i
am training is named sister lindsey berg. she is really great :) i lucked out
big time with this because this sister is cool! she has gotten used to the
missionary lifestyle really fast and she is just very chill and willing to
work. i really like her.
training is
fun though :) you must have been praying for me :) i haven’t freaked out and i
am getting just as much sleep as i was when i was a jr. comp. so this is good
:)
yes yes
jackie DID get baptized! oh it is so exciting :) i love that girl. her mom is
letting us teach her, now we just have to do it! haha sometimes it is easier
said than done. it would be great if her whole fam got baptized. i am sure they
will. i just dont know when that would be. it might have to be plenty of time
after i have left, but hey! i will accept a miracle if it comes my way.
bob francis,
the born again christian. sigh.. we talked to him on the phone and he cancelled
the appointment. he is just stuck right now. he is very worried about rocking
the boat right now with his wife and all that. i think he wants to take steps
in the direction of the lds church, but he is just scared. when he cancelled
the appointment he thanked us for coming and he said he really enjoyed it. but
then he kept saying "i cant.... i.. i just.. i cant.." over and
over. it was really heart breaking. but the good news is that he met a member
of the church with not just similarities, it was like they were the same
person! man it was amazing. so we will make sure he still has connections with
the church and all that. and we will visit him again eventually. that guy sure
is great.
so the r.s.
activity. it was a celebration of the r.s. birthday. so the theme was birthday
and also polka-dots. the invites, decorations, etc.. polka-dots. in the
cultural hall is where the actual party took place. we had dinner and dessert
and all that. on the wall they put butcher paper like 6 feet high and like...
15 feet across with a bow so that it looked like a big present. then we all
thought of something we would be willing to do for someone else (iron some
clothes, make spaghetti, paint nails, pick out your lice.." and we all
wrote what it was and our contact info on our own individual polka-dot that was
like.. 6 inches in diameter. they then decorated the present with the
polka-dots of service. everyone that gave a dot got to then at the end, pick a
dot. i gave "family home evening to your non member friend" (hahaha
:) and i picked "sewing alterations and repair" so that worked out
pretty well.
s caffall
was wearing my skirt when it ripped. i dont really know how it happened. i
think it got caught on a door or something but really i just dont know.
but s
caffall sure is sweet! i told her not to worry about it and all that. on my
first night of being a trainer i picked up my pillow and what did i find
underneath... one of her skirts with a note to me (it was for "sister
BUTxton" hahaha! oh i love that sister.) it was my favorite skirt of hers!
wow. she sure is sweet to me. i really like that skirt! so that's that.
well in
other news. this week has been great! robin handlin has been praying lots and she
loves it :) now that she is reading and praying, she is motivated to be better!
and isnt that what the gospel is supposed to do for us? motivate us to improve?
she asked us on friday "so if i am not doing anything bad, what else do i
need to DO? what else should i be doing??" wow! so good! then she happily
committed to be baptized! what a wonderful lady :)
that same
day, we met with kelly, who has been investigating for a long time and she is
practically mormon. she got pumped about the restoration and she also committed
to being baptized :)
this mission
is so much fun and this area is on fire! we are
supposed to train in 12 weeks but because there are so many missionaries coming
out, i am supposed to train in 6 weeks now! our area is really catching fire.
we are having a hard time finding time to eat, let alone get through the whole
training program! wow! how exciting!
hey it sure
is good to hear about things back home! my nephews sound so cute!
thank you
for the emails, letters and love!
much love,
sister wanay buxton!
