Wow what a week, let me tell ya. Thursday we had lunch with a lady who lives at an old members address and we became best friends!! She loves sewing and is so sweet, we made plans to come back and bring a recent convert who is EXPLODING to share the gospel. She is powerful, they both are and I think together they are going to be best friends in and outside of church! We then delivered the church invitations that the sweet returning member we are working with wrote, got a few of them handed out which was awesome! Then at our last drop off, she was actually home. And she's caught up on the church on conference, and devotionals and everything, but cant be bothered to come to church... BUT we scared her into coming on accident!! She's like all about emergency preparedness and it's awesome, so I mentioned that General Conferwnce they talked about the Second Coming and how they said "Time is running out" and that scared her so bad, not enough to come to church this ...

I know I write novels so if you want to read "the good stuff" scroll down to Monday and Tuesday. That's the really good stuff that talks about my experiences with President Nelson! Last Wednesday was district pday! It was fun, smashed the elders in bowling then I got smashed in laser tag. It was great. After all the fun we went and followed up with a referral from the Assistants/Glenelg sisters and she isn't keen for the gospel...YET. She was dropped off to her grandma by her mother when she was a baby because her mom couldn't take care of her. She knows her mom's name and nothing else. She wants to know who she was and we have family history sight to help her connect the dots to find potential relatives to help her fill in those gaps!! Such a cool experience. She's so old and loves the company, but we are going to show her there is a ward full of good company just down the main road from her house! 💕 then we had dinner with the sweet lady from last w...

Ok friends, I am going to be full on honest with my email this week. The good, the bad, the ugly. I feel like most missionaries only give you the fluffy good stuff but I'm going to share all. Brace yourselves. Wednesday we were reading the Book of Mormon with a family we are teaching the returning member mom, recent convert son, and the not baptized yet daughter and there was a MAJOR change in their hearts. The daughter sat and read with us and the mom was reading, she stopped and said, I CAN SHARE THIS WITH MARJORIE. (her friend she is trying refer to us)... ummm what? YES! So awesome she was able to find it on her own! MIRACLE!   Thursday we had district council.. Guess who came. President and Sister Marquis. Guess who was training, solo, for the whole time. Me.. Guess who did so awesome? ME. I honestly have no idea where it came from, but that was the greatest training I've ever done! I learned things and I planned it. After we went home for a bit to study and came back for ...

Another 6 weeks here in Allenby Gardens.. New companion Sister Beijerling from New Zealand has 2 transfers left. So I'm not sending another one home quite yet... but 12 weeks flys by. Wednesday was fun we went to a beautiful cathedral and when we walked in it was sunny and beautiful and when we walked out it was raining HEAPS!! but the cathedral was beautiful and i was so happy i finally went to it! Then I got a flu shot and got to play some basketball with the elders for a bit at the chapel!! that was way fun, took me back to the MTC days of roasting the elders in a game of lightning. It was awesome!  Thursday was district council, where I think the elders finally had an awakening of everything these past 6 weeks. but I have thought that in the past. I'll keep you posted.. We then had a goodbye lunch with a sweet lady we are working with for Sister Cheurfang, it was yummy, but i didn't feel good. So we went home so I could rest before dinner with the Ogdens. Which was awes...
