Sister McKay Dickson: Week 46: Motherhood!

What's poppin everyone! Hope life is awesome. If it's not, lmk how I can pray for you. Here's the good ol update:

Things to know:

-PRESIDENT UN-BLACKDOTTED ME AND I CAN DRIVE AGAIN!!! GOD IS REAL PEOPLE

-Said see ya to Sister Asay :,) Miss you already, have fun in Sandpoint friend

-Partied in a trio with my best friends. Had wayy too much fun for a couple days

-Picked up my BABY on Thursday! So much fun. Kinda crazy because I had a dream she had brown hair and then boom! I knew she was mine as soon as I saw her.

-Alma came to church this week! She loved it, and she even leaned over to one of our members and asked how old her boys had to be to pass the Sacrament. Praying for some baptisms for the boys soon! :))

Stories of the week:

-Not really a story, but just had to have a proud parent moment. My trainee is literally such a baller and I'm pretty sure she is training me. She has already jumped right into the work and is such a fast learner. I'm amazed by her every single day. We get along super well and I feel so blessed to have Sister Skinner <3

-Okay so this one is crazy haha. When I was in a trio with Sister Allen and Sister Bird we go talk to this man. We start talking to him about being forgiven by Jesus Christ, and he says to us: "I have something that I've never told anyone"... All I'm going to say is that he may or may not have confessed his murder to us...We sat there for a solid 20 seconds in silence because we had no idea what to say hahahaha. Luckily it was actually just in self defense, but still so crazy. Spokane be wildin.

Spiritual thought:

My spiritual thought is on humility this week! I made a goal to work on humility this transfer, and haha the Lord has definitely been giving me opportunities to humble myself. My sweet great grandma passed away this week, and I think if it had happened any earlier in my mission I wouldn't have been secure enough in my testimony to know that I would be okay. I know that my grandma Mimi got to have some sweet reunions with my grandpa and great grandpa. I felt very comforted to know that I have a strong guardian angel watching over me now too :,) I know that the Lord never gives us more than we can handle, and He will strengthen us (and even carry us) through the times that seem unbearable. I am grateful the Lord gave me this opportunity to deepen my trust and reliance on Him. Forever grateful for the Plan of Salvation too.

Praying for you all

(or at least trying to ha, there's a lot of u)

Love you
