JUST KIDDING
Monday.
We couldn’t think of anything good to do
so we stayed inside all day
and listened to Little Bity Baby in Bethlehem about 400 times.
We had a family home evening and
ate masa morra
This hermana always makes it.
not my favorite...
Tuesday
Knocked a lot of doors.
Everyone just answered and said, “Sorry I’m Catholic,”
and I just wanted to say, “Well that’s the point! I ain’t lookin for Mormons.”
But I just smile and wave.
Had a lesson with an investigator V.
English class
Wednesday
Zone conference.
We talked about optimism
and I led a relaxation exercise.
I think I found my calling in life,
relaxation soundtracks.
Thursday
All the stress and everything took its toll on me.
I was just kinda left without energy and force or faith or anything.
I just felt empty.
Zero.
Nada.
During my study I was reading the talk from dad
which got me thinking about some things
and I just kept feeling like I needed to write in my study journal.
I didn’t want to,
but I did it anyways
and started by putting the date up top
and then it all made sense,
August 11.
I had been praying a lot lately to feel what I felt when I was a new missionary.
Sometimes things just get to normal and lose their meaning,
so I wanted to feel how I felt back then.
And that’s exactly how I felt,
like my first day in the field.
Boy was it rough.
Never thought that I’d want to go home when I got to 13 months,
but I did
which was not an option.
So I thought for a bit,
decided well
you gotta do something with your time.
So I decided I’m just going to do my best to make those around me happy
and so that’s what I’m working on.
Happy or not happy I can help others
and then guess what? You feel happy too.
Now don’t worry now or anything.
I’m doing fine.
It’s not like I’m miserable.
I am actually doing pretty well.
I’m at one of my highest points in the last two months!
Woooo
:)
Friday.
Taught, taught, taught.
A nice busy day.
Saturday.
Sunday
Stake conference.
Woooo
Sorry I ran out of steam to write about the last 3 days.
I’m doing pretty well.
God loves me
and all His children.
I have really been able to see His hand in my life this week
and every week.
I’m happy to be a missionary.
:)
I love you all.
Love,
Hermana Anderson
