Hey family!!!
This week was good!! We had a couple good lessons. Tuesday we did service at arc, where they have little jobs for special needs people and we help them with their jobs!! it is sooo fun!! :) we went to the arp class which is always good. our recent convert goes to it and he said that he loved it!! on Wednesday we are doing this new thing called "walk Wednesday" where we are just walking all day so we can save miles :) so on Wednesday we just walked around canonsburg where we live now, and it was awesome because you see so much more when you aren't in a car. that night we went and cleaned our old apartment and there was a bag of garbage on the counter and sister Palmer went to move it and a mouse jumped out! AHHHHH we screamed so loud!! ewww! we had district meeting on Thursday which is always awesome!! we talked about leaving commitments and following up on them. i is so important to leave commitments because the people have to learn for themselves and so when we leave those things to read and study they will be able to have their own understanding and be able to feel the spirit, and the spirit is what converts people to the gospel! after district meeting we had a lesson with Fran and Anthony.. Anthony is super creepy and he said that he loves us so we had to pass them off to the elders because Anthony likes the sisters to much!! then we had a lesson with bill. he actually took us out to dinner at applebees and i got the fiesta lime chicken!! YUMMM and then we had a lesson in the restaurant. it was so hard to not get distracted but it was a really good lesson with him!!! on Friday we did weekly planning. after we were done with weekly planning we went and finished cleaning our old apartment.. it is so gross compared to our new apartment.. that night we had exchanges and one i stayed in Washington and sister Palmer went to their area. so i was lead on Saturday and it was such a great experience for me. i have been having a hard time about feeling inadequate and feeling like i am not doing anything and just feeling like i wasn't being a good missionary and i couldn't do it on my own. but exchanges showed me that i can totally do it!!! so that was great :):) we had quite a bit of lessons too!! that night we had the adult session of stake conference that we were able to go to!! it was great, they talked about the importance of ward council and family council. as missionaries we are part of the ward council and it was just great to see them stress how important it is for ward council and the purpose for it!! on Sunday we had the general session of stake conference where i was able to speak! it turned out really well!! a lot of people complemented me so i guess i did a good job haha!! i talked about being converted to the gospel of Jesus Christ. then we went to the church to prepare for our ward mission conference for that night. we then had the conference, it was great. we just talked about the importance of member missionary work and how we have all been invited to do the work of salvation. it was good!!! then we went home and did a little bit of training. so for training we have a booklet that has a 12 week program that we go through the lessons and learn how to teach them. it is such a good program!!!
so you got a mini van!!! crazy... hahaha we are both driving a mini van now!! i am glad that you like it so much :):) it surprised me that you guys got rid of the pilot!! haha you should send pictures :) mom i am glad that you had a good time at time out for women!! it sounds like it was a great conference :) well tell Bruce happy birthday for me :) i have birthday cards now that i still need to send to dad Barbara and Bruce now :) im terrible and sending things sorry... sounds like you guys had a great time on the ride :):) crazy about Bruce getting the ticket!! haha that is crazy! is he now thinking of getting a new bike?? glad you are all doing good!!
when you are on a mission you are teaching a lot to people about the gospel and you start wondering if you believe in those things and if they are really true. i have experienced this a lot and i have been on my knees A LOT praying to heavenly father, asking him so much about the gospel. i want you to all know that i know, i have felt the holy ghost testify to me that this is the true church and it is the only one! that Joseph smith is a true prophet and he did restore this gospel, and that Thomas s monson has been called by god to guide us and i know that he is a true prophet! i know that the Book of Mormon is true and it is the keystone in our religion and it is the word of god!! i know that the savior Jesus Christ did complete the atonement for all so we can repent and become clean again so that we can make it back to our father in heaven and that we can have eternal life in gods presence and without the atonement we would not be able to make it back to him. i invite you all to pray to Heavenly Father with a sincere heart, with real intent, and having the faith in Christ and ask him if these things are true and by the holy ghost you will be able to know these things are all true!! (i referenced moroni 10:4) i want to promise you that if you do sincerely pray that he will let you know that these things are true!!! and if you have some things to ask forgiveness for i encourage you to do that as well because after we are forgiven we will be able to have the spirit with us so much more!!! i leave you with these things in the name of Jesus Christ Amen.
I love you all soooo very much!!!!!
Love Sister Kierra Wadsworth
