Well this week was pretty good! It was a little slow at times but we were able to do a lot of service which was nice! We washed some windows, vacuumed some rooms, packed up some dishware and office supplies, and even steam cleaned some carpet! It was fun though, I love being able to do service!
But besides that we had some pretty great lessons! We got a call from this one member who is a little on the wacky side and she had these referrals for us. We asked her about them and apparently she followed some humming birds to these peoples doors and just knocked on them and introduced herself to them! Soooooo props to this lady for having the guts to go knock on a random persons door! But we went and contacted one of her referrals and it was super awesome! This guy is really receptive and we have a return appointment with him! So lets keep our fingers crossed that this one goes somewhere!
On Thursday we went to go see this one Less-Active lady in Calexico and at first when we got there she was not really wanting any company. She had had a really rough week and was feeling super low. So we were just talking on her doorstep and we kept hearing this kitten crying in one of her neighbors yards. She is a huge animal lover so we went to go find it with her but sadly it ran away from us :( haha But after that she just invited us into her house and showed us her huge vintage jewelry collection for like 2 hrs and even let us keep a couple of pieces! It was awesome! But the best part was after we shared a message with her and prayed, she turned to us and said, "Thank you so much for coming by today! I was feeling really down but now I feel 100% better!" I LOVE BEING A MISSIONARY! It just brings tears to my eyes knowing that I was able to be a bright light in someone's day. That is the absolute best feeling in the WORLD and there is nothing that could ever replace that.
I am so grateful for this Gospel and how IT is a bright light in my life everyday! The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the greatest source of hope in this world and I am so eternally grateful to have that perspective! Our Savior Jesus Christ is the greatest source of light and I am so humbled to be a Representative of Him and to share that light with others.
Here is a quote from one of my all time favorite talks, Hope an Anchor of the Soul by James E Faust: Samuel Smiles wrote: “‘Hope is like the sun, which, as we journey towards it, casts the shadow of our burden behind us.’ … Hope sweetens the memory of experiences well loved. It tempers our troubles to our growth and our strength. It befriends us in dark hours, excites us in bright ones. It lends promise to the future and purpose to the past. It turns discouragement to determination" http://www.lds.org/ensign/1999/11/hope-an-anchor-of-the-soul
And just replace the word "Hope" with "Jesus Christ" and "it" with "Him" :)
Love,
