I went Spanish-speaking for a day. :)
We went on exchanges on Monday/Tuesday, so Sister Stevens
stayed in Kuna while I went to Nampa with one of the Spanish-speaking
Sisters. It was kind of fun, minus that whole
I-have-no-idea-what-y'all-are-saying part of it. :) But for a part of my
time in Nampa, we went and helped with a English class, which was lots of
fun. It's amazing to see how some of these people have caught on to
speaking English. All in all, Tuesday was kind of fun. :) it was
almost relaxing, not really having to teach because I don't know the
language. But it's also really neat because I could still feel the Spirit
while Sister Cole was teaching the people we visited. I love how
universal the Gospel is. It's a real blessing how the Gospel can reach
anyone and everyone.
On Wednesday, Sister Stevens and I prepared the training for
District Meeting! It was sort of weird, and a little scary, but it ended
up being a really good experience. We did the training on making
commitments and following up with them, and we both learned a lot from it, so
we're trying to follow up better on the commitments we leave for people.
And we had a miracle happen on Thursday!!!!!!!!!!! So,
there's the Cox family, where the husband is not a member, and has been known
to display some anti-like behavior towards the church. Well, the other
day, we felt prompted to go to their house and just ask for some water, and not
only did Tim (the husband) get us water, but he invited us inside their home!
and we were able to share a message with Sister Cox with him in the
room! We were so excited!
So, on Saturday, we were supposed to meet with the
Pfieffers, but Suzanne ended up cancelling because her fibromyalgia flared up,
and she said that she would bring Shanna to church, but that she probably
wouldn't come.
Well, guess who was a church? Both Shanna and
Suzanne! We are so happy that they both came, and Shanna made it through
church without complaining this week!
Anyways, that's all I can think of right now. Transfer
calls are this week, so pray that I get to stay in Kuna!
Love y'all!
Love,
Sister Empey
