NUTS! This week has been NUTS!, as Ben would say. I have
taught an average of about 18 lessons a week on my mission......and this week
we taught 32. My companions are the best and we just never stop working so we
barely even have time to think! :) We just laugh about it all the time and
throw our hands in the hair and say "emergency transfer adventures!"
and then just dive in. It's been so fun. These two are just the sisters for the
job!
I can't even start describing my week because I wouldn't be
able to stop. It's been NUTS! And we see the Lord's hand in each day. I think
most amazing is that we have all been amazingly sustained: we are just going
going going! We know it's His STRENGTH that has got us this far!
One cool story is that we called this elderly
less-active-member couple like a month ago to ask if we could visit them. I was
super nervous that we wouldn't get a very excited welcome, but instead the
husband asked us all these questions about the nature of the spirit world and
the baptisms we do in the temple for them. We gave him a Plan of Salvation
pamphlet and some scriptures and we are really excited this week to see what he
learned!
Also: I can't go without telling you about the Ward Mission
Leader here. HE IS LEGIT! Convert at 21. Mission at 23. Married at 25. WML at
26. HE IS SO PASSIONATE ABOUT THE WORK!!! He told me I looked like a deer in
headlights at coordination meeting because I was so shocked at the urgency he
felt for this work. I think the 1-hour meeting with him was probably why we
didn't stop for one second this week. He is just like "SAVE ALL THE PEOPLE
NOW!" and we are all like whipping our butts into gear. So intense!
Part of that fire was translated into making Co--- and his
daughter Che---a meet with us 3 times a week. He is the coolest guy ever:
hasn't been to church for 22 years (since teenager) and just decided he wanted
it all again so he called us and asked us to prepare him and his daughter so
that he could baptize her. His daughter is 12 and has never been to church
before. We have been talking and talking for like a month to try to coordinate
and finally this week we were like OK GO! and we just made it happen. NUTS!!!!
"woa! Church is true!" That's what we say whenever
something cool happens (so like multiple times a day) that we feel is directly
orchestrated by the Lord.
Yours truly,
Sister Sumsion
I didn't know what QC meant so I asked my dear friend Lesa Peers who lived there what that meant. She said..."QC
stands for Quad Cities=Davenport, Bettendorf, Moline and Rock Island!"
