Sister McKay Dickson: Week 48: Anotha one

I have no creativity for subject lines sometimes. This was a great week as usual but not tons to update on, hence why I couldn't come up with a title:

Things to know:

-Our friend Latticia is the goat and reads the Book of Mormon every day, she said its comforting and she already knows its true! Imagine someone you teach having actual faith.

-We had a referral that requested a missionary visit and he came to church?! The coolest thing ever. It was the first time we met him and he said he loved it!

-We had a lot of lessons this week which was pretty lit, since that's always our main goal. Also this next week is zone conference and I am hyped lemme tell ya!

-An ice cream truck came down the street while we were tracting (#tendermercy) and so we of course got SpongeBob popsicles and talked to the man driving the truck.

-Someone we are teaching gave us mochi and they said the first vision was super powerful after my trainee recited it from memory... #bars

-Forgot to mention last week we had interviews with President and that was good as always. My favorite is when he takes selfies with us after he makes us cry

Stories of the week:

-This week we taught someone the law of chastity and we said that we couldn't look at porn and our friend goes "oops". I didn't know whether to laugh or cry so my companion and I sat there in silence for like 10 seconds. Then our friend said: "Nah I'm just kidding". She got us pretty good.

-We went to Janice's and she needed help drawing blood from her goats... I was outta there. I was not about to pass out. Then later I was fixing a fence for her and she came and stood DIRECTLY behind me. And she tried to steady me by hugging me from behind. No such thing as personal space in Janice's book.

Spiritual thought:

- Just was thinking about what it means to truly declare repentance because I read a lot of scriptures about it this week. As we share about the restored gospel of Jesus Christ we are declaring repentance because we are inviting people to change. And repentance really is just changing! It is turning to God. And that's one huge lesson I have learned on my mission! That it is all about change. That's all God is asking us to do! To give our mistakes and bad habits to Him, and He can help us become new & improved. It amazes me how many people we meet don't want to change... That they would rather stay in their unhappy ways than take a chance at something that could change their life. The gospel has truly changed my life, and I just want everyone to know what I know because of what I have learned on my mission! The end

Have a good week!!
