Slowing Down The Mission

Oh my goodness this week has been a ride. Honestly I blinked and am writing another weekly. The mission is going TOO FAST!! Whoever is praying for time to go faster so that they can see me: STOP. (you know who you are lol)



Highlights:

☆ We went to the temple! I love the temple so much, it was the coolest thing ever. ☆celebrated Sister Rassys 6 months!

☆I FINALLY SAVED A TURTLE!! Out here, there are turtles everywhere! And I swear I see one every day on the road. Sister Rassy told me that if there were no cars coming, and we weren’t hurrying to go somewhere I could save one. My time finally came!! 

☆Wore OU socks in a OSU store… (thats like wearing a BYU thing to a Utes store lol)



So this week, the Elders came and blessed Andy's home. Some creepy stuff had been happening and we felt like it would help him progress. The next day, he got a blessing to help him with the Word of Wisdom. We talked to him about how he needs to keep his home as a place where the Spirit can live comfortably. Everyone who walks in the door has to abide by them. 



It reminded me of this scripture

Joshua 24:15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.



I think it's so cool how Andy is choosing to serve the Lord through his thoughts, desires and actions. My invitation for y'all to set standards for yourself that will help you have the Spirit with you. Whether it's your house, bedroom, your mind, make them! They will for sure help, just like how they've helped Andy. 



Everyone have the best week ever! Please pray for Phoenix, he's getting baptized on Saturday!! 

Love y'all,

Sister Jenni<3

Hey y’all!     This has been quite. the. week.      Highlights: -got to see Sister Demmerly at mission tour! -Got to spend some time with Ann at Bingo -Had a ward Christmas party, all of the primary girls decorated cookies and gave them to me. And they waited for me to eat them…. it’s so good to see that they look up to me, and want me to get obese.  -had a Christmas devotional with the whole mission -Sister Okie drew me the best picture ever of me and Morgan Wallen, and Sister Sody told a story based on the picture. Funniest comp bonding ever:) -Held the CUTEST puppy ever named Lola.     So on Friday, we were in the middle of teaching Toni. The lesson was pretty good, when all of a sudden the biggest BOOM happened. Like the blinds and doors were shaking in the house. And there was the brightest light that flashed. (Now I’ve been in Missouri during huge thunderstorms, I thought I’ve seen and heard it all.) I thought that WW3 was starting. No joke....

Hey y’all!! Oh. My. Goodness. I changed my P-day because I’m going the the temple today. I’m so happy to be going to the Lord’s house with Norma-Jean, but tell ya what I am TIRED!!! But in the best way;) Its been a kind of slow week and a half, the roads are COVERED with ice so we have not been allowed to drive. So that means: 1. doing all of our work over the phone… 2. begging members to give us rides 3. walking everywhere we go  Soooo this week we…. -did over 60 hours of phone work -had ALL of our lessons cancel on us -more than half of our member meals canceled on us -we ran out of food, money, and miles -I made sister sody so jealous because everyones little kids come and give me the biggest hug, then just stare at her…and it always happens to the people who we’ve never met. She says it’s a spiritual gift haha.  -got my fingernails painted by Dallas’ little girl named Haven.  -got our hair cut by sister kern, she’s from Salem and I had NO IDEA!! -watched “why I believ...

Next Stop: PROVO MTC

Hey y’all! What a week! Hope you all had a happy Halloween! I love being a missionary.  My district and I joke that it’s giving us a sliver of what being a new parent is like.  You go to bed tired, you wake up tired, all day you’re tired. But it’s okay, because you love it!!  -My family made it to Italy! They love it! Must be quite the adventure having no car, no house, and having a loaf of bread cost nearly $10…  -I have spent over 50 hours on the computer between classes, lessons, and zoom meetings with my district and my companion.  -I taught my first lesson! It’s starting to feel so real and I’m loving every minute of it.  -Had the ward trunk or treat… I love halloween so of course I had to dress up… -Had chicken and rice for dinner! I’m telling you, any type of chicken is a food that makes me proud to be an American.  -Probably drank half of my body weight of lemonade and chocolate milk… don’t worry mom. Nama and Bampa are taking good care of me! ...
