The Work Goes On

Wow, so a lot has happened in the past two weeks. I had to get out my journal.

- Starting off with Easter a man from New York called us, our number was just in his phone, and he thanked us for our service. He told us stories of when he was a missionary and talked about obedience and Christlike love. I hope to meet Mr. Clark some day, he was so sweet.

- Our district leader talks to us on the phone every night, I feel bad for him cause he has seen the really weird me come out. 

- I drew pictures of our entire zone... 

- I think I weird sister Duerden out a lot. In quarantine the weird me comes out is what I've realized, I think its pent up stress just releasing itself in crab-walks and songs.

- My sister called me out for already being a weird missionary....

- We made a collage of Jesus pictures for our living room wall. Maybe you'll see a time lapse on our Tifton facebook page in the future. You may have seen the last on of the tree growing.

- We tried to help an investigator after his girlfriend cheated on him. That was awkward.

- There have been crazy storms and I have thoroughly enjoyed watching them.

- I'm getting better at family history!

- I made it to my 100 days in the mission field!!

- Sister Duerden and I have started creating a flip book for a future Facebook post, then we loved the characters so much that we cut them out and hung them on the fridge. She drew the bodies and I drew the heads.

- The Zone Leaders brought us masks.

- We've decided to make a scrapbook for our ward. So if you run out of ideas, that's a good one. Our bishop is so excited!

- We found a bike path and have been going on lots of long walks just to get out of the house.

- A woman texted us randomly asking for prayers, so we called her immediately. Shes not a member and just loved that we prayed and shared a scripture with her, were now calling her everyday! Miracles!

- A member gave us the talk on how men never grow up.

- The zone leaders brought us the sacrament. I am so grateful for that! There was so much peace and so much joy. I felt like I was being made clean again. I don't think I can ever take the sacrament for granted again!

The Spirit has been so strong lately, everyone can be touched if you just slow down and listen. I encourage all of y'all to do that this week. Take an hour to read and pray, I promise you He will speak to you!

You are so loved!
