Sister McKay Dickson: Week 34: whats uppp 2022

Happy new year everyone!!! Insane that its a new year, and that I come home this year... whatttt. Haha I never want to come home from the mish tho oops, serving a mission is hands down the best decision I've ever made. Anyway, this was an awesome week:

Things to know:

-We met the coolest lady named Brooke last week and we came back and taught her and her boyfriend Ronnie. They asked for a Book of Mormon and to come to church and we had the most fire lesson!! They ended up being out of town yesterday tho so they didn't come to church, but I am so hyped for future meetings with them!

-LITERALLY SAW MY BEST FRIEND. ASHLYN WILSON CAME TO VISIT AND I GOT TO SEE HER AT OUR MEMBER DINNER AND PARTY IT UP. I love my mom (trainer) so much.

-We went to lunch with Maggie!! If anyone remembers her, Sister Archibald and I found and taught her in Moscow. She is soo amazing and we had the best convo about the gospel for like an hour!!!

Stories of the week:

-We went to Buffalo wild wings for dinner with the elders in the zone and one of them literally did the Blazing challenge in 3 minutes. It was insane, and I have never laughed so hard in my life. Elder Ingram is a legend.

-We brought a future missionary out with us and we met a Satanist! So that was fun lol. Hahaha the lady was actually so nice and we found out she doesn't really believe in Satan (because then that means she has to believe in God), she's just actually agnostic. I think she just straight up said that to try and scare us away.

Spiritual thought:

-This week I have been thinking a lot about goals with the new year coming up, and how important it is that we are able to have them to progress. That doesn't mean writing down huge new years resolutions that are never looked at after January's over, but setting smaller goals that stretch you and help you become 1% better every day! I invite all of you to listen to the talk "One percent better" by Michael A. Dunn and figure out what you can do to set goals that will help you become better each day! Also here's a quote from the talk that I loved: "Every effort to change we make—no matter how tiny it seems to us—just might make the biggest difference in our lives."

Go see the difference as you start making those changes, because it is time to change! Time to become more like our Savior Jesus Christ and not sit around waiting for change to miraculously happen.

I love you all so much! Email me if you ever need help or want someone to talk to me because I would love to hear from you :))

Love ya BIG,

Sister Dickson
