I can't believe it is February already, at the same time I can't believe it's only February, Haha. Mission time is so weird.
Highlights of this week:
Last p-day we went and got souvenirs from Saratoga Springs, that was fun!
Exchanges!! I am so grateful for exchanges. I went to Delmar/Albany with Sister Dorian. Sadly I don't have the pictures yet. I had a great time talking to the awesome people in Albany. I met some pretty interesting people, Haha. It was nice being able to get to know Sister Dorian a bit better and we had a good time. They also have mice in their apartment. I won't include the pictures this time though...
While on exchanges, I noticed a sticky note on the wall that had a scripture, Moroni 8:16,
"...Behold, I speak with boldness, having authority from God; and I fear not what man can do; for perfect love casteth out all fear"
This scripture made missionary work click for me. Missionary work is so hard and people are so rude sometimes. I have to keep reminding myself that they are children of God and I know this is the truth I am sharing. But still sometimes satan gets through and I get discouraged. I've wondered how I can get through all of the sad, crazy, rude experiences. This scripture just spelled it out for me.
So for all my fellow missionaries, remember that you have authority from God to speak with boldness and declare this Gospel. Therefore, don't fear those awful people, don't fear what other are going to think. Remember that God and Jesus Christ love you, perfectly. It doesn't matter the response you get because you have done your part by giving them the choice.
Another highlight of this week is that I held a Guinea pig, it was super cute!!
The most exciting thing this week, Jessica came to church!!!!! She loved it and even commented in Sunday school. Her daughter also loved primary. We also had Katina and her son there and she seemed to like it. Her son said he was bored, but he said he liked primary Haha.
We also helped Jessica this week with a birthday party for her daughter, that was super cute!
We went out and knocked on doors last night. That was hilarious. We met a very drunk lady who had some funny comments about her beliefs. She also told us to go get warm and drink some hot coco or Alcohol... she definitely was not all there which is sad, but we gave her a card so hopefully she will see it when she is sober and check it out.
Sad news, Bro Youngs baptism got moved to the 15th from the 9th because of the Branch... which is super sad. Bro Young is so ready to be baptized!!
That's about it for this week. Keep studying the Book of Mormon and praying, I know they bring power into our lives.
Have a great week!
Love Sister Thacker
