SUP YA'LL.
Last week after emailing, us
and the Hermanas went and tried some alligator...which actually just tasted like
rubbery fried chicken. I can now check that off my bucket list :) after that we
went to the most amazing place on earth called Duck Donuts...I don't know if I
have already talked about these donuts in my emails before but if I have, then
you will know just how good they are that I had to talk about them twice. The point
in talking about this is not to point out how much weight I am probably
gaining, but the fact that this place is super popular among locals and
tourists and we like to go there because 1. great donuts and 2. there are so
many people to talk to! The guy standing in line behind us just randomly
started asking us who we were and what we do and all of this stuff and so we
were just SOOO excited to tell him! Tender mercies all around! Haha it was so
funny as we were leaving this older guy was holding the door open for us and I
was wearing this shirt that has elephants all over it and I said "thanks
for holding the door!" and he goes: "anything for a fellow
republican!!" Hahahahahah I was like YES that is the best thing that has
ever happened. So funny.
On Tuesday we had a deep clean of our house which was
ever so fun--we still haven't brought ourselves to vacuum out the spiders and
there homes in the windows...there's like all these spider sacks...I don't even
know what its called but it is NAAAST. After deep clean we had dinner with the
Bishop and his family and the Bishop came out contacting with us after dinner
which was so great. We went and visited a less active family and watched the
new Mormon message with them and it brought them to tears-so I would def
recommend EVERYONE watch that. It's called the hope of Christ's light. We have
been showing it to everyone haha! On Wednesday we had a conference call with
President Baker and all of the missionaries that came out with me from the MTC
so it was great to be able to hear all of their voices and how they are doing!!
I miss them but I am glad we are all out spreadin the good word!! :)
Wednesday/Thursday we had exchanges with the Sister Training leaders...also
on Thursday President and Sister Baker came and inspected our house. Every
morning we have 30 minutes of exercise and on Saturday me and Sister Garvin ran
to/up the Wright Brothers Memorial which is pretty much in our backyard and let
me just say the view of the ocean from on top of that monument...I almost
started crying. Which actually wouldn't be that unusual for me because I cry
about everything haha but it was just so beautiful up there. The sun was just
glistening on the water and it had rained the night before so the weather was
perfect. It was one of those times where nothing else matters but the moment
that you are in and I love those kinds of moments!
Sunday we had a great
day-a less active that we have been working with came to church and we were so
happy for her! The family that committed to baptism wasn't able to make it to
church because they are out of town but we are planning to meet with them on
Tuesday and continue to help them in their journey towards the waters of
baptism :))))) Yesssssss! We had dinner with a member family on Sunday night
and they gave us eggs from their very own chickens! Which....I think is way
cool. Things are just so great and continue to get better every day.
This week
we are hoping to find more people to teach. I am so grateful for all of you and
for all of your love and support! I pray for each and every single one of you!
I hope you have a great week! :)
"Though we are incomplete, God loves us
completely. Though we are imperfect, He loves us perfectly. Though we may feel
lost and without compass, God's love encompasses us completely...Regardless of
our current state, there is hope for us. No matter our distress, no matter our
sorrow or mistakes, our infinitely compassionate Heavenly Father desires that
we draw near unto Him so that he can draw near unto us."
Peace and Blessings!!!!
Love, Sister C :)
