you know you're in Wisconsin when there is a sombrero made of cheese....
Well hollllllyyyyyyyyyy cow!!!!!!!!!!! it has been THE CRAZIEST week of my mission and possibly my life thus far!!!!! hahaha so it all starts with:
Sunday: we had 4 investigators at church!!!! THIS IS GREAT! but giving each one of them the attention she deserves is hard! BUT we managed! It was a blessing for sure to see them all there!!!
Tuesday: Drove down to Kenosha (by Chicago) and had Zone training meeting! SO GOOD to see all of my friends down there!!!!! saw sister green (my trainer) and saw so many others i have come to know and love!
Wednesday: we just hit the pavement ("My dogs were barking" as my mother would say!!!! hahaha) we went and tracted and contacted some people the elders had found and told us to see!!! and OUCH! the weather may be nice right now but people are cold! hahaha they were not being very nice! BUT HEY they reject me they reject the Master! Nothin against me!!!! haha so that was rough but as i just laugh about it and have a good attitude i forget what i was even sad or upset about before!
Friday: we had new missionaries meeting with their trainers up in Oshkosh, Wisconsin and that was great! LONGEST DRIVE EVER THOUGH! :) haha :) but the nigiht before we had some sisters coming from Racine, Wisconsin to stay with us and then we would all drive up together! We had a BALL! so fun to talk to those sisters! but even though it was a long drive it was really great to be trained by president cutler and sister cutler and the assistants! GOOD to see sister blas and quist too!
Saturday: we saw the Transfer board email (where they tell each missionary where they will be serving and what their new assignment is!) and so we looked at it and it turns out that my companion, Sister Palmer, will be serving down in janesville, Wisconsin and i will be staying here in Milwaukee training another new missionary! She flies in TODAY actually!!!!!! I'm nervous but excited for the assignment and calling to do this!
Sunday: So sunday at 4 in the morning sister palmer wakes me up and asks where some nausea medication is and so i show her and then i couldn't get back to bed so i ask whats wrong and she had spent the whole night wrenched with this stomach pain! So at 7 am i call the mission nurse and she tells me to take her to the EMERGENCY ROOM!?!?!?! WHAT???????? so we get in the car and the elders met us there and they gave a blessing! We were in the waiting room and they took her back there!!! so scary! Then an hour and half later i go back there with the elders and sister palmer is in a bed and a gown and looks awful!!! AAHHHHH!!!!!!!!! and so 6 hours later after a ct scan and alll that jazz they came to the conclusion that she has a kidney infection! YIKES! so...we missed church...but it was SOOOO COOL to see the elders offer a blessing of peace, comfort and healing! shes a champ! So i read the Book of Mormon to her and sang and talked to nurses and doctors! It was fun! ish...........
SO ANYWAY! As you can tell it has been a psycho week!!!!!!!! hahaha BUT through all of these things that come and go and change, My God does not come and go, nor does He change! Through all of this! He and His Son are the same yesterday, today and forever! I love them!I am so grateful to serve with Christ in this vineyard and i feel privleged to be His daughter placed here on earth! Awaiting the day i can see His face again!!!! a scripture i ALWAYS think about is in Doctrine and Covenants (sorry don't know the reference) "and again verily i say unto you that it is your privilege, and a promise i give unto you that have been ordained unto this ministry, that in as much as ye strip yourselves of Jealousies and fears and humble yourselves before me, for ye are not sufficiently humble, the veil shall be rent, and ye shall see me and know that I AM, not with the carnal neither natural mind, but with the spiritual."
I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GODS SPEED! HURRAH FOR ISRAEL!!!!!!!
