Week 52 (11/18/19) In 2 more Days, It will be 1 Year!!! 😊
Hey Family & Friends !!
Well here we are in week 6 of the transfer, time has flown by! This Saturday we will find out about transfers, Im not sure what will happen, but looking forward to it!
Also, this week will mark......1 YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It feels just like yesterday that I was starting my mission. I didn't understand anything, eating strange foods & rice and beans EVERY DAY!! This has been the most hardest, challenging, physically demanding, sometimes spiritually demanding but most rewarding opportunity I have ever had with an outpouring of blessings everyday.
I have come to learn that God is very much aware of us. He knows what is best for us, and what he asks of us is to search for him in everything. Are we doing the small and simple things? Are we still looking to develop faith in Him? Repenting everyday? Going to church every Sunday? Attending the Temple frequently? Being honest in all that we do? Do we seek for opportunities to share the gospel with others? These are the things that he will judge us for, so being prepared is so very important.
This weekend we had Stake Conference. They spoke a lot about service which I loved. This evening we have family night planned with an amazing family. The mom is super Incredible and very generous to all that she meets. She makes and sells A LOT of cleaning products. A long time ago the missionaries were visiting her, but I don't know why they stopped. Tonight they are going to make dinner for us, I am so excited, more about it next week :-)
Super funny story that happened to us yesterday after lunch. As we were walking along, one of the missionaries said that she knew where there was a mango tree. I said "Perfect" lets go!! We went there, an well..... the mango's were pretty high up in the tree. So what do "4" Sister Missionaries do in dresses without brooms? We all took off our shoes and threw them up at the tree to knock off some mango's. After 15 minutes of us trying to knock them off, we only managed to get "1" mango off the tree.
Apparently we were being watched by some people across the street. A man comes over to us and asks "Are you hungry? Is that why you are trying to get the mango's? We giggled and said "No, we are not hungry...we just ate lunch and wanted a delicious mango for desert" So, next thing I saw was him taking his shoe off and he hit the mango's the first! second! and third! time he tried. We thanked him again for helping us as we each walked away with a mango to eat. It was so funny, I wish you could have been there:-)
My time is up, I look forward to next week. Please keep praying for missionary work.
Love you,
Sister Pierce
