Hey Everyone!
Well this week has been kind of a struggle but that is ok. Monday we
had an awesome night all lined up with tons of appointments and then everyone
canceled! It was so frustrating. We even had members lined up to go with us to
all of our appointments and it all fell through. Sister Baker also got a really
terrible headache so we had to go get her a Mountain Dew because that helps her
headaches and none of the fast food places here had Mountain Dew! It was
ridiculous. Tuesday was good though. The beginning of the day was kind of a
bust but the evening was awesome! We had a lesson with Lamont that went really
well! He is way cool, he just needs to come to church! Then we went to the
Cruz's and we decided to start having them teach us the lessons because we
needed something to get their whole family involved. It went so good! They all
participated, even the youngest daughter who has kind of just hid in her room
before. She was like the first one out there ready with her pamphlet to teach!
Brother Cruz did so awesome! He totally rocked it which was surprising to us
because in the past he has been really shy and he doesn't say a whole lot. When
it was his turn to teach he didn't even use the pamphlet and he was quoting
scriptures and asking all these awesome questions. It was so great. Another
great part was the oldest sisters "friend" who is mostly her boyfriend was there
so they were teaching "us" but mostly they were teaching him and he was totally
interested the whole time! It was so great. They have come such a long way! Plus
their whole family was at church on Sunday! It was awesome! Then later Tuesday
night we had a lesson with Bobby and Denise. We tried to talk about keeping the
sabbath day holy but it got off topic a lot. Bobby likes to ask really random
questions so that throws things off sometimes. Mostly he just had excuses why he
couldn't keep the sabbath day holy and come to church! We are hoping he will
figure it out. Then Wednesday we had exchanges! I stayed here and Sister Brizee
came. She is really cool. She is from California. We had a great time. Again,
most of our appointments fell through so we did a lot of walking around and
talking to people/tracting. We met some really cool people though! She is really
awesome at talking to people. Then Thursday we had zone conference. It was fun
minus the fact that it took us 2 hours to drive there and we had to be there by
8:30 for car inspections so we had to leave at 6:30 so we had to get up at like
5:30. It was exhausting. Then we had to do car inspections in the pouring rain
so we got soaked and my cute curly hair got wet and became not cute and curly!
Other than that it was good. The assistants gave a training on planning that was
fun. Then Pres McCoy gave a training on the priesthood and the power we have as
missionaries. Then they introduced the Easter initiative they are doing called
Because He Lives! That should be really fun. We got special pass along cards for
it. They are really cool. Then President gave a training on being highly favored
of the of the Lord. Then the missionaries who were having zone conference for
the last time had to bear their testimony so that included
me!!. Weird to think that it's my last zone conference! It's
always been other people turn, and so it took a bit for me to remember "Duh, you
are bearing your Testimony"! It was very nice though to share my testimony of
my mission with the Zone!
One of the people we are teaching moved to Douglas and so we texted to see
how she was doing and she said on the way there the trailer caught on fire and
they lost everything! That was crazy! That is about most of the exciting things
that happened this week. The Ference family is struggling a bit as 8 year old
Alianna is sort of struggling on attending Primary. It is hard when there are
only 5 kids in the whole Primary and you are the only 8 year old. We are trying
to work with her and let her know of our testimony on being obedient and that
there are blessings that she does not know about as she attends her meetings and
is obedient. The Cruz Family is doing well though. There was a cute thing that
happened yesterday, We went to try an old referral and this kid came out and
said she was sick, he was wearing a class of 2015 hoodie so he is probably
around 18. When he came out to tell us you could tell he just felt really bad
telling us to go away. Then with this really devastated look on his face he said
"it's raining" and I was thinking well ya its Georgia it rains all the time and
then he went on to say "and you walked all they way here and got your shoes
dirty." He just looked so sad for us! It was really cute. We decided that next
time we go back if his sister isn't there we are going to try and teach him.
That was our week! Hope ya'll have a good week! I am super excited for the
womens broadcast!
Love,
Sister Price
