Hey family and friends!!!
It was another great week with some new changes!!
Monday, we had a party for the missionaries from our district who were going home and it was so much fun!!! Afterwards Sister Blake wanted to say goodbye to some people so we spent the rest of the day driving around and saying goodbye to people.
Tuesday, we had transfers! We got up at 6am and got ready then drove to the Harrisburg chapel. There I received my new companion!!! Her name is Sister Emily Zaugg(zog). She is from Canada and Provo, Utah. When she was 14 years old her family moved to Provo. She has been out for 15 months so she only has two transfers left.. CRAZY! She is probably going to die in this area :) She is great!! She is super funny and its just great!! She has 5 siblings, 2 sisters 3 brothers. She has 3 nieces and 3 nephews. They are an even family!! She is awesome and am so excited to serve with her :) After transfers we came home and she upacked for a little bit and then we went and did service at Ephrata Manor. We went and introduced her to the Eberly's. That night we had a great lesson with Sister Batista.
Wednesday, we had district meeting and my district leader is so funny but kinda awkward sometimes but he is great!! We played uno dare and it was so fun!!! haha the things missionaries do for fun :) After that we went to the library and did family history. I am not for sure how to work things still but I am working on it :) We went and saw the Hackmans, Sister Hackman really wants to go to the temple and is working really to be worthy to go!! That night we had dinner with a less-active that I have never met. IT WAS AWESOME!!! Her sister was in town and she is active. She told us a really cool story about her doing missionary work. She went to the Dominican Republic to this little tiny village to help make living quarters better. She met this guy and they started talking. He wanted his daughters to do schooling in the US and this lady said that he would be a host mom for them. So she came home and this guy decided to come check things out. So she picked him up at the airport and she said that for the next 24 hours they were together they talked about the gospel!! He checked out the schools and her house. When she took him back to the airport he told her that he wanted what she had and he asked her to help him get it. She promised him that she would help him receive the gospel. So she spent a lot of time trying to get a hold of the mission president in the Dominican Republic, she finally did and she said that in the next 24 hours that she got a hold of the mission president that the missionaries had found the tiny tiny village that he was in! CRAZY I wonder if Jeff has heard about it? I emailed him and asked him!!! But it was just and awesome story!!
Thursday, we went and tried some people that bishop had asked us to and none of them were home but we tried right? We went and saw Darla and she is a talker so that took awhile!! But she is doing good.. not for sure how interested in learning about our religion but she likes to talk and next time we are going to explain to her why we are there and if she is really interested. That night we had an AMAZING lesson with the Burds!! It was good :) The spirit was so strong!! I am so grateful for Heavenly Fathers guidance!!
Friday, we did weekly planning and that took most of the day! It was good though :) We had dinner with the Pilsners and that was good!!! They are such a fun family!! They reminded me of you and how funny we are!! :)
Saturday, we had a meeting with the bishop to go over his goals and so he could meet Sister Zaugg as well. Then we had correlation and they fed us lunch!! It was really good :) It was a Greek dish! Most of our plans fell through so we did some family history and mormon.org time. Then we went to see the Hackmans but then I had this prompting that we shouldn't and instead go see those people that bishop asked to and so we did and they were both home and we found out that one is actually moving!! It was great to see that a prompting that I received and followed worked out :) Thank you Heavenly Father!! Then we were suppose to have a lesson with Safi but she wasn't home. We went and introduced Sister Zaugg to the Gillmans because they life right by Safi. They are such an awesome family!!
Sunday, we had a great church service!! I had the opportunity to speak and it was on the Gospel of Repentance, it was good :) That was the sixth time I have given a talk on my mission!! CRAZY! Just preparing me for the future I guess?? haha! After church we did our studies and called a lot of potentials and that's about it :)
It's been a great week and I am so excited to be here in Ephrata serving a mission!!! It's crazy, I have been out for a third of my mission! Time is truly flying by!! I love being a missionary even though its crazy tough, its the best!! :)
I love you to the moon and back!!! Thanks for the super cute bracelet with that saying on it!!! I LOVE IT!! :)
Have a great week!
Love Sister Kierra Wadsworth
