Wow! Time has flown by wayyy too fast! This week I got sick (not covid) and have had to stay inside since Wednesday. It's been a bit rough, but we did have some good things happen.
The ward members at sooo sweet with us being sick, we had a secret early morning snack drive by and soup and medicine brought by the one and only Sister Cooley and the sweet Sister Training Leaders. The people here are awesome.
We had this one guy ask if we believe in aliens, then promptly said he believes Jesus is an alien....then said jk. But that wasn't so convincing-- I think he might believe it.
We ate a lot of food for dinner Tuesday, then went over to this recent converts house and she made lasagna. I could not barely eat the piece I got. The funny thing is we told her we already had dinner! Hmm, maybe she just wants to fatten us up!
Sister Billete is the Las Colinas Young women's leader. She is one of the funniest ladies ever. She brought cupcakes for her class last Sunday and she brought way more than would be needed, but she said, "those skinny girls can put down like two each they are heifers," or something like that. It was hilarious.
Also, we called this one guy, Henry, (side note, his little chihuahua is named scrappy) and I started praying and he started walking so fast and it was awesome loud, we died.
We planted some flowers for Sister Cooley. It was really then that what I thought was allergies, was definitely sickness cause I was not feeling too hot--but the flowers looked nice!
Oh yeah, a few weeks ago our zone (the group of missionaries in the area) made raps about our social media action plan. An action plan is what we will do when we get distracted or see inappropriate content on our phone. So we all made raps and some were so catching and have been stuck in our head. Just one of the many cheesy things us missionaries do that we find hilarious.
We had lessons with two members this week that were really good. As Missionaries people open up to us a lot, and they did. It was really cool to be able to talk with them and feel the love that Christ has for them. The Book of Mormon says to mourn with those that mourn, and I love doing that. I love just being able to listen and cry with people. I have definitely appreciated it when people have cried with me and I know that's what Jesus does. He cries with us when we do.
I love being a missionary even though it is hard. It's hard for me in different ways than it might be for some others. But if anyone on this email is contemplating going on a mission, I would invite you to pray and ask God, ask what He wants for you.
Love you all!!
