Sister McKay Dickson: Week 18: Milked my second goat!

Hey everyone! This was a super fun week, and I know it was a pretty fun week for everyone back home that's a BYU fan ;) Haha I wish I could have been there for the game! But I'm on the Lord's errand so it's all good. Here's my week :)

Things to know:

- We saw a bunch of miracles, this couple just randomly showed up to our ward BBQ and said they had been wanting more friends and a new church to go to. So of course we invited them, and they came to church with us on Sunday! So awesome, God is so good. And our other friends came too!

- I went to my first Mission Leadership Conference and it was AMAZING! Its almost the same thing as Zone Conference, but for ZL's and STL's. I felt the spirit so strong and learned so much and it was so fun to see all of my friends there. It was honestly one of the best days of my mission so far.

- Also I went on exchanges with Sister Fotu for 24 hours and it was a party! And I hit my 4 months! Not really a big milestone but it's fun to keep track and see how fast the time is already going! :)

Stories of the week:

So yes I did milk another goat. This lady we do service for has them and we got to milk her goats, and here's the exciting part: She makes you drink its milk straight from the udder...yummy. Haha I wouldn't have minded it if it wasn't warm... she also shot it into my mouth like a rocket launcher lol. If you want to see a video of it you can ask my mom for it because I can't get it to attach sadly.

A cool story from this week is from the less active member I mentioned in my first email. Her name is Michelle, and we had the most spiritual lesson with her about Christ's Atonement. Towards the end of the lesson she turned to me and said "I feel like I knew you even before I came to Earth" and I just cried. The Spirit told me that I am here in Spokane to connect with Michelle and it truly has just been the most amazing experience with her.

Spiritual thought:

This week my spiritual thought is on seeing ourselves as Christ does. At MLC we bore our testimonies as if Christ was speaking about us and it was the most spiritual experience. It also made me realize how many people doubt themselves and their abilities. If Christ loves us enough to sacrifice himself for us and God forgives us each time we fall, then why should we not love and forgive ourselves? The only person holding yourself back from your full potential is YOU (and maybe Satan but let's just ignore that guy). Doubting yourself is saying you don't trust God's judgement, because He believes in you and loves you so much. So believe in yourself like God believes in you, and know that you are loved and can do anything through Him. Never give up; keep trying and using the gift of the Atonement, and you will see His hand in your life.

I LOVE Y'ALL

Go spread the love
