This week has been an adventure. When things are going well, Satan is doing his best to make life miserable.
Tuesday was great. We had Zone Meeting and Sister Stewart I were asked to do a training, We felt completely inadequate, isn't that usually how it goes? It was exactly what we needed to train on because we have not been very good at it ourselves. It was on teaching using the scriptures. We both learned a lot from that meeting. We set goals as a zone for baptisms for the next 3 months and we had a really cool experience. We read D&C 29:6 and then knelt as a zone of 28 missionaries and united ourselves in prayer. It was amazing the spirit that was there in the room. President Van Cott has counseled us to be missionaries of GREAT FAITH and MIGHTY PRAYER.
Wednesday we were able to teach Ann. We talked about the commandments. She has just been on fire these last 2 weeks. She was basically raised mormon. Everything we have taught she seems to already know. She truly has been prepared to have the gospel in her life.
Like I mentioned at the beginning though, Satan does his best to get in the way. On Thursday we went over to make sure who would be baptizing Ann. There was some miss-communication and at the end we weren't sure if Ann was still going to be baptized. We felt awful and didn't really know what to do. We were already having a somewhat rough day and at the end of the day both Sister Stewart and I felt like it was the hardest day on our missions so far. Today I think back and I don't know why we thought it was so hard, it definitely was not that bad. We got things straightened out and we know that she is being baptized on the 21st, and we are so excited!
On Friday we wanted to stop by and meet a family that the Elders have been teaching for a while now. We were going to stop by a member that lives just up the street first and then go and meet them. It worked out that the dad was outside when we got there and he told us that the Elders had been coming by and and that some of his friends were members(who happen to be in the ward, long, but cool story). Anyways he invited us to come by some other time when his wife was home.
A lot of members of the ward when they find out that I made all my skirts and my bag have asked me to help them or some such thing( a lot like my sisters :D) or they have mentioned that they have a sewing machine sitting in their closet that they don't know how to use. So we decided to make it a Relief Society activity and have the sisters bring a friend, some fabric and supplies and we would help them make skirts. So that will happen in a couple of weeks but we had quite a few people interested.
Anyways thats about it for this week, I think..
I love you all
Love Sister Kellee Gardner
