This week was a bit discouraging. We had a lot of appointments fall through and were not able to see many of our investigators. We had a lesson with Trish and it didn't go as well as we would have hoped. Then she didn't come to church the next day either:( That was pretty disappointing. She texted us and said that she is finding comfort in her own church and family. So I was pretty devastated yesterday. But we are not giving up on her! I know it isn't going to be easy, but we are going to keep doing our best to teach her and hope and have faith that Heavenly Father will make up the difference! Missions are like a rollercoaster.. things are really good for a week or so and then it drops and things get hard and your faith is tried, but then it starts to get better and you have a peak, and the cycle just continues. So I am hoping for another peak this week!
We had exchanges in Winnipeg this week and I was able to go with Sister Jimenez from Peru again. We had another spanish lesson! We also got to eat some good philipino food from some members there. On Sunday Sister Meikle, a member here came up to me and showed a message she had gotten on facebook from Jon Meikle in Smithfield. He said how great my family was and what a small world it was that I was serving here. I agree! Then her husband.. also Jon Meikle got up and bore his testimony and talked about it too. Such a small world!
This week in my studies I really like the scripture 3 Nephi 13:22 " The light of your body is the eye; if, therefore, thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light." If we keep our eye single to God and have an eternal perspective I know that we will be full of light!! Sorry for the short email this week. Not a lot to talk about, I will try to send pics though!
