wow, what a week...
Its crazy that its already Monday!
A lot has happened this week and I will try to get the highlights.
First thing from this week, we had dinner with members almost every night, which was awesome! I love the members in our ward, they are so great! I had some yummy brownies, that was definitely a highlight.
Next, we had a lesson with a referral from online and she is amazing! She said that she is lucky to be alive because of all the trauma she has gone through, and we talked to her about how God has a plan for her. The spirit was so strong!
LINDA!!!! I LOVE HER! Linda is the cutest lady ever and she is so ready for the Gospel! We taught her the restoration and invited her to read the Book of Mormon and Pray to know if Joseph Smith was a prophet, and she said that she knows it true. She felt the spirit so strong when we taught the first vision that she said there is no way that it's not true!!
We also were able to have dinner with our relief society president, I absolutely love her, she is the most amazing woman. To all of the Relief Society presidents, you do so much, thank you for all you do!
.... I touched a snake this week....gross
But then I held a baby rat, adorable!
I'll include pictures.
Sister Geddes loved that snake, Haha.
The snake....her name is Aphrodite
Adorable Baby Rat
Halloween was interesting. We had zone conference in the morning, which was very cool! My very first zone conference. President Vest, my mission president, is a very inspired servant of the Lord. I am so grateful for him. One thing we talked about in Zone conference was facing winter head on, Haha. I'm excited for Christmas! Anyways back to Halloween, we were asked not to walk to streets, so we set up some member lessons which were so fun!
This week I have been studying about the Atonement of Jesus Christ a lot, and I have learned so many things. Elder Holland has been the source of my studies and I have been able to feel his power and conviction while reading them. I encourage everyone to read as many talks and scriptures you can about the Atonement of Jesus Christ. I have gained a lot of knowledge and humbling from these studies.
Also my nephew Braxton turned 1 this week!!! It's crazy and he's adorable! And happy birthday to my dad too.
Oh yeah! We had a crazy storm on Thursday night and the power went out like 7 times while we were doing weekly planning on Friday... it was a party. So many people were without power.
We met some awesome people while walking around on Saturday and we were able to help them clean up their yard from the storm and share a message about Jesus Christ.
We also got some pumpkin chocolate chip cookies from a member and they were so yummy!!!
It is so dark here, the sun goes down at 4:30, so that's cool... Haha it's a little sketchy, but it's all good because we have the Spirit with us.
I love you all!! Thank you so much for all of the emails, support and prayers, they are much appreciated
Love Sister Thacker
