This week has been awesome..
Wednesday we did service for Jenny, we got to weed her back hill. that was actually pretty fun. Pulling weeds on a hill is a fun challenge, but luckily the ground was really soft and it was probably the coolest day that week. Compared to the 100 degree weather we had the week before. The sun came up as we were finishing though, perfect timing. That night for dinner the Beehives made us French bread pizzas, they were yummy and it was really fun to get to know them better. We really have an amazing group of youth in this ward.
Thursday was Zone Conference. Best thing ever. It answered so many questions and prayers. There was a big focus on planning and teaching simply. When we talked about planning, we focused so much on Preach my Gospel. It is all in there and it explains everything that we need to do to be effective planners. It really helped me see that EVERYTHING we need is in the Scriptures and PMG. I was on this spiritual high and ready to change the world. I just had to remember that I don't know everything.
Friday we were able to meet with Sonia. She is an amazing lady who is so ready for the gospel. She's been through a lot in her life and is searching for that peace. I am excited to teach her! We will be teaching her tomorrow.
Saturday we went out walking and I saw someone outside so we went and talked to her. It was interesting. We talked for a bit found out that she is a less-active (we didn't have her records). As we were walking away, I just felt like we needed to get her records in the ward.
Sunday rolls around and we are in ward council. Bishop asks us to go and find this lady who they think lives in our boundaries. He said her name and as he described the situation I thought no way.. It was the same lady we met the day before, just randomly. Not so random. I know the Lord is aware of each of us, and he knows where we are and where we need to be.
Monday was good, we showed up at the church and it had been egged, so we spent some time with the other sisters cleaning that up. Why someone would egg a church, I don't know.. We found out transfers and I am staying but Sister Baker is leaving. I am sad to see her go, It's hard to let a trainee go, I feel like a mom sending a child off to college. It's weird. I have learned so much from her. I am excited to have a new companion, Sister Stewart.
Well, thats about it for this week. I am so grateful to be here teaching others about our Savior Jesus Christ. I love the gospel, and I am so blessed because of it.I love you all.
Love,
Sister Kellee Gardner
