Well hello again!
Another week has come
and gone. Crazy how fast time is going! Thanks for all of the emails! I
opened up my inbox and had so many! Mom- tell Sister Neilsen I say hi!
She is just wonderful and I love her so much! No, I didn't buy any
sandals cause we are not allowed to wear sandals here. I was talking
about my danskos. Sorry! Yeah, I did buy some new clothes. Goodwill and
Salvation Army seem to have a lot! ha I don't need any new clothes
though unless you want to send me like a cardigan or something! Dad-
like president would give me a cupcake! haha He is so busy already! For
my (birthday) package, I would say it would be easiest to send it to me before
transfers, so that means I would need to get it by the 28th cause
transfers are the 29th. Sounds like you guys
have been busy!
This week was another interesting week. Sister Jang has been
having some health problems this week with her shoulders and back so we
have actually had to stay inside a lot. She has just been so exhausted
and in so much pain this week and I feel so bad for her. She takes
ibruprofin but I guess it really doesn't do anything to help her. I
keep telling her that she needs to do something to help her feel better
or to get it checked out, but she won't do anything. So, we're just
going along doing what we can. I have had a lot of time to study and
read while she has been sleeping and it has been wonderful! I just love
my study time soooo much because I always learn so much and it makes me
feel so much better! The Book of Mormon is truly so powerful and
inspired and it was saved for our time because we need it to help us get
through all of our hard times and struggles, and because we can come so
much closer to Heavenly Father because of it. It is an inspired and
powerful book!
We came in contact with a former investigator this week and that
was a really cool experience. We knocked on her door and she came out
and was all defensive to us. She said that she knows about our church,
has never read the Book of Mormon because she has been told that it has
crazy and bad things in it, and that she has been told that we are a
cult. Wonderful! We started talking to her and eventually she had to sit
down so she told us to sit down too. We ended up talking to her for
like an hour and a half and taught her the restoration. It was cool
because you could literally see her walls coming down and her whole
attitude changed as we talked to her. We told her things and she was
just like I didn't know that or things like that. It was just such a
cool experience to see her at the beginning be so annoyed and defensive
to us, and then as we talked to her see those walls come down in a way.
Bearing testimony works! We have a couple new families moving into the
ward, so now our ward is getting really big. It's so different to be in a
big ward now! I am getting used to it though and liking more as I get
to know everyone better. Our area is still so hard though!! Haha
We had a relief society bbq on Friday
and that was wonderful. Our president is from either samoa or tonga, so
it was soooo good. There was so much food and it was all really good!
Then they sent us home with leftovers! She is so funny and loves
us! They haven't had sisters here in a couple years, so it was
interesting at first. But they are liking us more and more and so that
is great to see. Life here has still been rough because
sometimes Sister Jang does things that I just don't understand or that
are frustrating, but I'm sure I annoy her at times too. That's life
though. She is so funny though and loves people, and we have fun
together! Things are slowly progressing here so that's good. It's just
taking a long time though!
Well, I know this isn't the longest email, but we've got to head
out, and get some other things done today! I love being a missionary
though because I am learning so much!! It is such a wonderful experience
and I love it! It is so hard but so worth it! I love you all!!
