Oh my goodness I have exciting news!!! My dear sweet friend Richard Dolan got baptized this past Friday! Words cannot even begin to express how happy this makes me. He looked so happy and I was just amazed at his growth. President Gubler gave me permission to Skype him, so I got to talk with him for a little bit. From the man I met in Woolston in September to the man who just got baptized... man oh man... completely different. He is so happy!! I am still on cloud nine. I can honestly say nothing makes me happier than to see people come closer to Jesus Christ and to experience his miraculous healing power. I could ramble on and on about Richard. He is an eternal friend of mine that has impacted me forever.
Thursday: We had MLC which was good. Haha however I got the flu, so I was going in and out of the meeting. But we set a lot of great goals for 2018. So that is exciting! It will be great to see what happens!
Friday: We didn't do much today! But we did a lot of planning which was good. And I got to Skype Richard! Which let me tell you again, seeing him was so great!
Saturday: So sorry I can't remember what happened today! Not much happened because I have been under the weather.
Sunday: We went to church! And we had a dinner appointment with the Coughlans. It was so fun! They are such a cute family. Their kids are the cutest! It was a pretty quiet New Years Eve.
Monday: 2018!!!! So we went to the Corrigans for lunch. They are such a great couple. Then this evening we went to the Vowels...and let me tell you a story. It was so embarrassing. So I have been sick this week, and I have been having coughing attacks. So we were sharing the spiritual thought after dinner, and when Tony (The Grandfather) was bearing his testimony I started to have a coughing attack but my water was across the table. Side note: Adam one of their younger boys was playing with a Whoopie Cushion... You probably can see where this is going... Another side note, I want you to know that the Vowels remind me a lot of the Ashton family. I can just imagine the Vowels and the Ashtons being like twin families. Anyways so I was having a coughing attack so I leaned across the table to get my water and at the exact same time Adam put the whoopie cushion on the table...So I don't know if i pressed it or if he did, because neither of us were trying to press it on purpose, but the whole table went silent for like 5 seconds and then they realized what happened and they were like "Sister Lund!" I was like "I swear that was not me!! I promise" and I turned bright red... Oh my goodness so embarrassing. But low key hilarious!
Tuesday: We had DLC today. Which was fun. We went to Nandos to celebrate the New Year and the success and miracles of 2017. But something that I loved that we did in this meeting was we showed "A silent interview with Christ" I don't know if you have seen it, but it is so good so you should watch it! It is so powerful. Then we went and visited Charlie, she had a harder week, so we just talked about how through Christ we have been blessed with the gift of change and becoming better, and that we don't need to constantly beat ourselves up. This evening we had ward council and correlation, it was good, but honestly not much for me to tell ya about haha.
This week really was so good. I was reminded of a talk dad had me watch back when I was in Welling... "The Perfect Lie". I was reminded about a few parts of it. One of them is where Tiffany Webster talks about Christ and how when you study his life he takes things and he transforms them to be better then what they were. And the other part was at the end where she says " I no longer am chasing perfection... I'm Chasing Jesus". That part hit me so strong. I think a lot of my life I try to chase perfection because I lose sight on what actually matters. So I decided my slogan for 2018 is "Chase Jesus". I am so excited for this New Year!
I love you so much! I hope you have a great week! We can do hard things! We got this!
Love,
Sister Lund
