Sister Kierra Wadsworth's Mission Blog: August 10, 2015

Hey family and friends!!!

This week has been truly amazing!! We have been pretty busy and just great things are happening. I have been growing sooo much :):)

Monday after emailing we went to a trampoline place and it was a blast!! We jumped around and played lots of dodge ball :) We were all pretty sore!! Haha.

Tuesday, we had a great lesson with Austin!!! He really opened up to us with the struggles he has been dealing with. The lesson really showed me how much our Savior has done for us and how Heavenly Father wants to help us. I testified with true conviction of that and I am just so grateful that I have truly come to know that. We went and did service at Ephrata Manor and after we were done playing bocce ball I played the piano and Sister Zaugg and I both sang :) We got the ipad out and used the lds music app to play hymns :):) It was fun!! I never thought I would actually say this but I wished I had practiced the piano A TON more!!! But I can still have time to grow :) '

Wednesday, we had district meeting and we talked about being a complete missionary. It was a great lesson for me to learn how I can become better and what things I need to work on so I can reach my full potential as a missionary and as a future mother and wife to be honest :) I just think that if missionaries aren't following the rules or just doing a mission because they are forced then why even go out or stay? That is just wasting the time of the Savior. The mission is all about submitting our will to the Lords will and if we aren't TRULY willing to do that then we are wasting time!! I truly think that if we do our best and work so hard, the hardest you will ever work, then it is time well spent and the Savior will guide us!! I have truly seen that this transfer. I am working so hard on being EXACTLY obedient and aligning my will to God's will and making sure that what I am doing is worth while, which it totally is, and I have seen the blessing come of it. I have received a lot of guidance, personal revelation, spiritual promptings, seeing other hearts softening and especially my love and the relationship with the Savior and our Father in Heaven grow exponentially!!! It truly has been sooo amazing :):) Off my soap box now :) So after district meeting went to B-dubs for lunch for one of the sisters hump day. It was good :)

Thursday, we were suppose to have a lesson with Darla but I got this feeling that it wasn't going to happen but we tried anyways and we got there and her step dad came to the door and told us it wasn't a good time and so we said OK and walked back to the car :) It was sad that we weren't able to have a lesson with her but we were spiritually and physically prepared for it. It was a cool experience :) We were cut 75 miles today, that may not seem like a lot to you but as a missionary that is a lot! But we have been able to walk and I actually really like it :):) It is nice!! I hope that one day I might be able to serve in a walk area!!

Friday, we did our weekly planning and took our lunch break and went to green dragon and we were at this stand looking at stuff and the guy that had the stand came up to us. He told us that he has talked to mormons before and he said that he liked them so that was good :) Always a missionary no matter what!! We had a great lesson with Sister Batista, her heart is defiantly softening!!!

Saturday, we had correlation and Sister Eberly has been having some complications with some things and she has some tests done and found out that she has cancer :( She doesn't know how far it is or what she has to go through. She does have to get surgery to remove some things but they don't know how far it has gone. Hopefully everything will be ok. We did service with the Hackmans. We went to Sister Hackmans moms house and helped cleaned :)

Sunday, ONE OF THE BUSIEST SUNDAYS I HAVE HAD!!!! We were seriously going like non-stop!! We had church then a lesson with Ethan right after. We had PEC. We had about a 20 minute lunch break. We went to the Rodriguez's and helped them put a fan together and had an awesome lesson with them!!! They are truly so close to the spirit and have angels surrounding them!!! Their mom is really sick and Sister Zaugg and I could feel their families presence so strongly!!! It was great!! Then we drove to our dinner appointment that was 30 minutes away. After dinner we had a lesson with Ben(our new investigator) and Megan. It was great!!! They are making soooo much progression!!! They had an interview with Bishop because they asked him to marry them. And bishop said that they are already talking about their sealing and setting a goal to be sealed as a family :):) I truly love their family so much already!!! :) I love these kind of experiences!!! They are the best!! Ben and Megan are so prepared :) After their lesson we came home and we were about to study for about 20 minutes then we had to get ready for bed!!! It was so great!!!!!! I love being busy like that :):) It was just great!!!!!

Sister Zaugg and I are doing so great with each other!!! Our unity is so amazing!!! :) We are studying preach my gospel from front to back as a companionship and we have been great insight and some awesome revelation :) I have been studying more about our Savior Jesus Christ and I am growing soo close to Him and I love it!! :) I know that we do have a Savior, and that He loves us so much!! He gave His life for us so we can become like Him and our Father in Heaven and live with Them again some day. The Savior knows exactly how we feel and what we are going through. He is there during the good and bad. I am so grateful for Him and I know He is there!!! I love you all to the moon and back!!! That means a lot haha :) Well have a great week and know that Sister Wadsworth is happy, healthy and doing great!!! :):)

Love Sister Kierra Wadsworth
