Ummm..... hey! :)
So, Monday night. We taught the Chestnuts the Ten
Commandments, with the hand signals. The kids were cute and funny about
them! They're a great family, we're just hoping we can convince them that
their animals will be okay for one hour if they come to Sacrament meeting.
(They have a little goat farm on the outskirts of Kuna. We want to
go out there someday. :) )
If I can be honest, I don't even remember Tuesday that
well. We had our last lesson with Karysma (yay!), and we went to Meet the
Mormons. One of our ward missionaries brought a potential
investigator! His name is Garrett, and we're hopefully going to teach him
the first lesson tthis coming Thursday.
And on Wednesday, um.... yeah. I dunno, I was just
kind of having a hard day because I've been sick, so my energy levels aren't up
to par, and I was feeling like a slacker, even though I couldn't really go out
a ton. And then, after dinner, the most miraculous text EVER:
Sister Taylor asked us to come over to their house for CHOCOLATE CAKE!!!!!! Oh my goodness, talk about a LIFESAVER. I totally needed a
pick-me-up. So we went over and had chocolate cake with the
Taylors. It was great. :) We just sat and talked about nerdy stuff
and church and what-not. :) I love the Taylors. They're
awesome. :)
And on Thursday, Karysma had her baptism interview!
So, her baptism has been moved to this Saturday, the 17, because that's when
her uncle can come down, but we're so excited for it! :D And she passed her
interview. Because we're awesome teachers. Just kidding. I
have loved teaching Karysma. It's been a great experience watching the
Spirit work with her and help her develop a testimony of her own. :) I'm
so proud of her! :D
On Friday, we went to visit the Hellyers, and their
daughter, Sally, was out! So, we didn't give a lesson, but we had a nice
discussion about prayer and charity. And I sang for them. Because
that's what I do for them. And Sally said that I sounded like an angel.
:) That was super sweet of her. :)
And then Friday evening we ate with the Marsalas. We
had a great discussion of how the Lord will use who we are to further his work,
no matter what kind of personality we have. The spirit was really great
there. I love the Marsalas, they are some awesomely solid recent
converts. :) (And hopefully Sister Marsala will have her baby this
week! Little Carlee is on her way!)
Um.... Saturday. Right. Ummm.... we just spent
most of our time at the Assisted Living Center, since we haven't been able to
go for a couple of weeks. I love all the little old people to visit
there. :) They're all just so sweet.
On Sunday, 10th ward was eventful. :) We got a new
Relief Society President, and guess who it is? SISTER JEPSEN!!!!!
I'm super excited for her. She'll be great. :) I LOVE working with
Sister Jepsen. And then later on, we taught the Laurels about the
Godhead. it was a really good lesson. We spent the time talking
about how we need to develop a relationship with all three members: Heavenly
Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost. It was a very sweet discussion
with a very strong spirit. I believe all the girls gained something from
the lesson. :)
And to round out our day, we went and visited the Martin
Girls. :) They're so CUTE!!! No news about being able to be
Baptized yet, but we're hoping soon. :)
Anyways, that's all for this week folks! ONE MORE WEEK
WITH SISTER STEVENS THEN SHE'S BEING SHIPPED OFF BACK TO TEXAS!!!!!! Oh
my goodness, the last 18 weeks have been fantastic. :) I'm gonna miss
her. :') But my next companion will be just as awesome as she is.
Actually, probably not. But I'm going to keep telling myself that.
I love y'all! Keep your faith up!
Love,
Sister Empey
