Hello!!!
Well this week went well!!! Monday night we went on exchanges with our STL's. I went to Franklin with Sister Busath who we came out together but she was in the Mexico MTC. Sister Bills stayed in Butler :) On exchanges we helped some members pack. They are an older couple so we did a lot of packing for them :) Then we decided to walk to our next appointment after that and we got a little lost and we had to walk up a HUGE hill!! We called the member that was coming to the lesson and she came and picked us up :) It was to get that exercise though :) We had a good lesson with one of their investigators, her name is Jodi. After her lesson we went and saw the Stewart family. They are so cute!! Two of the girls just got baptized but they are less-active :( It was really funny, at the end they said that I really needed to be transferred there!! hahaha I love that family so much!! They have such a good knowledge about the gospel they just need to go to church!!
So we moved this week on Friday and we went over to take some stuff to our new apartment and we were trying to park on main street and I was driving and I ended up backing up into someone... It wasn't a lot of damage and no one got hurt thankfully!! But I got in an accident on my mission! WOW!! It was very shocking and I cried... The people I hit were SUPER nice so that made a huge difference :) What a mission story right? haha :) The excuse is that the back of the car was full of stuff and I couldn't see but it is just an excuse and doesn't mean anything :) But our new apartment is so nice!! We are so grateful that we were able to find it and it is the best location!! Right on main street :)
Saturday morning we were moving a couple of things and this guy named Walter stopped to talk to us and he wanted to come to church. So we got him a ride and he came to church yesterday!!! It was awesome but a little weird that it happened. It usually doesn't happen like that in PA. We are sure how with it he is but it was awesome that he came to church and he enjoyed it. He wants to take the lessons too :) It was really aweomse, we didn't really know what to think because we were a little taken back or just in shock that he really came!! Hopefully we will see him this week :)
We were going to do a service project on Saturday but we weren't able to find the place. We were in our service clothes, jeans, and Sister Bills had to go to the bathroom and forgot that she had the phone in her back pocket and so our phone ended up in the toilet and we had this bright idea to stick in Rice A Roni and needless to say, our phone is broken!! And it is weird not having a phone.. It was really funny though :) Just some fun memories happening for us this week!! :):)
Last night we watched the Christmas Devotional and wow that was good!!! The music was so beautiful and the spirit that was there was just amazing. I love hearing about our Savior Jesus Christ!! I am so grateful for the opportunity I have to serve during Christmas. I was a little homesick this week just thinking about not being home and just being selfish really and I talked to my dad about it and I loved his response, he said "You only get one of Christ's birthday as one of his full time servants." It is so true and I was just thinking about me and what I was going to do for myself but that just helped me realize that I need to stop thinking about what I am going to do for myself and think about what I am going to do for the Savior because we have everything because of Him!! It is just so easy to get caught up in the worldly Christmas and forget what it truly is about. I encourage all to focus on the Savior because He is the true meaning of Christmas!!
So this coming week we are having zone conference and I am accompanying Sister Bills for a musical number :) They also asked me to play piano for the opening and closing songs. I have been practicing them and I sure hope it goes well because it doesn't sound very good.. I sure wish I practiced piano A LOT more!! :) Then I wouldn't be having this problem.. haha It just goes to show that my parents were right :) hahaha!!
Well I hope you all have a great week :):) I love you to the moon and back!!
Love always,
Sister Kierra Wadsworth
