Hey family and friends!!!
This week has been another great one!! I truly do love the mission, I know I say that a lot but I really do mean it with ALL my heart!!! It's the best :)
So on Monday, we went to the church and exploded a pumpkin!!! It was super funny :) We were almost done putting rubber bands on it and someone had to leave for a minute so we were waiting and all of the sudden the pumpkin exploded and we have the funniest picture :):) HAHAAHHA It was great!! That night we had a lesson with one of our less-actives. We were late to her appointment because the fair was getting set up and the main road was closed so we had to take a detour and that is where we got lost.. but we finally got there and had a great conversation with her :)
Tuesday, we had service at Ephrata Manor adn it was Sister Zauggs last day with our favorite activity leader. There are 2 girls who switch off with playing Bocce Ball. Deb and Linda and we really like Deb :) She gave us a really big hug!! It was nice :) We love Ephrata Manor!!! After that we went and had to clean our car for Zone Conference :) We had a lesson with our investigator Amanda, she is AMAZING and golden :) She is so great I love her :):)
Wednesday, we had a lesson with one of our less-actives and it was great!!! She helped me so much with some things that were on my mind. She like pulled them out of me!! She is soooo in tune with the spirit it's not even funny. She reminded me that the Savior is there for anything, no matter what!! It was so great for me :) That was a definite growing experience for me :) After that lesson we went and contacted 2 referrals that we received. We gave each of them a Book of Mormon. One wasn't really interested and one of them said that we could come back :) That was great :) We had a great lesson with Ethan, he gave us a thank you note for giving him a praying rock. The Sisters before us gave him it but he still wanted to thank us. It was so cute :):) Is is doing so amazing!!! That night we had an AMAZING lesson with our less-active Amanda. We had a member come with us and they connected super well!!! She really opened up to us. She asked me to study the first 5 books of the Old Testament and she wanted me to start with Deuteronomy. I have been studying that :) I was actually able to share with her a scripture from Deuteronomy that really helped her :) She is going to go to a session of General Conference at the members house!! She is so great :) The spirit was so strong!! The spirit definitely guided me so much!! I love being guided by the spirit!! It was just a great day!!
Thursday, we weekly planned most of the day :) We went to the fair for a little bit and got a funnel cake :) It was good!!! We had a lesson with the Burds, they are really opening up to us :) They are great!!! That night we drove to the Hershey Sisters apartment because we had to get up early for Zone Conference :)
Friday, we had Zone Conference!!! It was soooo great :):) I love the Johnson's!! We got tiwis, we call them black boxes. It is a monitor that checks our speed and some other things. I am not very excited for them but they will help me be a great driver :) We talked about why the Sabbath is so important, gaining trust in the Savior and relying on Him, and we talked about how important Preach My Gospel is for missionaries and for any member of the church!! I loved it :) After zone conference we did exchanges!! I was able to go with Sister Landa because she is my Sister Training Leader :) IT WAS THE BEST!!!!! We went to Texas Roadhouse with some other missionaries and it was so much fun :) We went and delivered a birthday cake to one of their less-actives. That night we were just reminiscing of how great it was when we served in Washington together :) It was so fun!! I miss her so much. Both of us want to serve together again!!
Saturday, we went and visited with one of their less-actives. She is 80 years old and SUPER spunky!! It was so fun :) She is super funny!! Then went and saw their investigator. We had a really good lesson with him. He has a baptism date for November 7 :) At the end he starting hitting on me.... it was really funny :) He said that he likes when the Sisters go on exchanges because they always bring the hot girls... it was weird! hahahaha :) We then walked around for awhile. We were able to give out 5 Book of Mormons and 3 people said that we could come back!!! It was so great :) We were not even afraid to talk to anyone! I loved it :) It reminded me of why I love being a missionary so much!!! We went and had dinner with one of their recent converts. It was a blast!! Everyone calls her mama Jen because she takes care of any kid who comes into her house :) She says that the whole world is her kids :) It was tons of fun :) THEN we went to the first session of General Conference, General Women's Conference. It was soooo good!!!! I loved it :):)
Sunday, we had a great Sabbath day!!! It was Sister Zaugg's last Sunday at church because next week is General Conference. It was fast and testimony meeting!!! It was really good :) We had the opportunity to teach Gospel Principles and it went really well :) That night we went and tried a new member who just moved into the ward. He had a stroke and is now living in a senior living center. Bishop asked us to go visit him so we did :) Then we went and contacted a referral. We knocked on the door and asked for the person and she isn't alive anymore... I felt super bad! But we gave the guy who answered the door a BOM and our phone number. He isn't really interested right now because he is going through a lot but hopefully he will read the BOM and receive help from it :) After that we drove to the Lancaster Sisters apartment for P-day eve :) That's what we call it now :) It's always a blast!!!
Today we are going to go hiking :) I'm so excited!!! Well I am doing great!! Hope you all know that I love you and that you are continually in my prayers :) LOVE YOU TO THE MOON AND BACK!!!!
Love, Sister Kierra Wadsworth
