Where do I even begin. I feel like we are going 20 billion miles per hour right now haha. I don't even know if I have had time to realize I am in a new area haha!
Thursday: We had a lesson with a Recent Convert in the ward Richi. He is 22 and he is from Hungary. He is really nice, but I think he was really sad that I replaced his missionary. Sister Gates goes "Do you like Sister Lund, she's different than the other sister huh.. But a good different right?" He goes "unfortunately". haha he tried not to like me, but now we are friends haha. We then had a lesson with a couple that the sisters have been teaching for the past 4ish months: Peter and Joanne (Jo).They are really nice, but they are hot and cold with having lessons right now. We are working with them though.
Friday; Today was full full full of meetings! It was good though. We did a lot of finding this evening to even it out a bit haha. Which turned out great. We met our new friend Chris, from Romania, and he is pretty solid.
Saturday:We went to Sister Senior's, a lady in our ward, to read the Book of Mormon with her. This evening we went to our friend Joanna. She is super sweet. Although... haha... Her kids have typhus, or some sort of sickness, and she just kept going on and on that "stage 3 kills" and sister Gates and I were like looking at eachother like "don't touch anything!" Haha when we got out of the appointment we like showered ourselves in hand sanitizer. She is like amazing though. We love her!
Sunday: So i was super nervous today, because i got to introduce myself and bear my testimony in Sacrament meeting today, and the assistants are in our ward, and President was there, so that was a little bit scary but don't worry, I got over it... kind of. This afternoon, we met with our friend Chris that we met on Friday, which was super good! I'll keep you posted on him. And then we just did finding in the evening!
Monday: We had accounting with Elder Mann ( who is from China, I think) and he pronounces my name really funny like the way a German person would pronounce it. haha. This evening we had a Halloween activity at the chapel, which was really fun! And we even got a new friend, her name is Keirsten, she is from Germany, and we get to go see her this Thursday! But they went all out with this activity. They even rented this like mechanical surf board ( like a mechanical bull) i really wanted to try it , but I couldn't because I had a skirt on...But it looked way fun!
Tuesday: We did a lot of finding today. We had a bunch of less actives/ Lost sheep that we needed to drop by. So we spent most of our day doing that... which let me tell you was interesting. Considering we were knocking on doors all day... with the trick or treaters... haha not awkward at all. ;) And then we had correlation with Brother Faagan our Ward mission leader, who is from Ireland. And he makes computer games for a living. He is super smart!
This week was really good. I feel like i am going a billion miles per hour, but I know that I needed this move so that I could grow... and that I am definitely doing. I read the Conference talk by President Utchdorf, talking about Bobbie the Wonder Dog. And i absolutely loved it... I mean i felt kind of sad for the poor dog, but I loved how President Utchdorf said that all of us have this inner want to go back "home"... To be able to be with God again. And i think that is so true. Just like Bobbie the wonder Dog, we too will be able to find our way back home. But we will only find our way back home with Christ guiding us there.
I hope that you will have a great week. I love you so much. We can do hard things! We got this!
Love,
Sister Lund
Meet Sister Gates
