Week 60: Slippin' & Slidin'

 HAPPY 4TH EVERYONE!!!!! I love america. We have a full day p-day today so we've been having fun and I keep procrastinating writing this. We tried to water balloon the elders at our bbq today and I ended up getting the bucket of water balloons dumped on me HAHA. Hope you all had a great week because this week was AWESOME !!!


Things to know:
- We went up to Moscow for p-day last week to be with the sisters and I got to even be in my old area for a second too so that was fun :)) We played games & balled!
- The Lord helped us find 20 new people to teach this week and it was so cool to see so many miracles. Sister Lundell and I have been on the grind and I couldn't be happier just working as hard as we can together!!
- We had two exchanges this week and I got to go with my trainees MTC comp Sister Malick, and my sweet Sister Belnap too! Love them both & had so much fun!!
- Its been warm and I'm starting to get a sweet tabling from my watch. And someone asked me if I was Iranian too because I'm getting so much sun hahah.
- Really that's all for the updates, but we have zone conference and some more exchanges this week so should be sweet!

Stories of the week:
- Soooo hahaha this ones funny. We went to visit our friend on date for baptism named Dawnjeana and her daughters birthday party was that night. They had a slip n slide and so we may or may not have gone on the slip n slide during our lesson. It was so fun haha (and don't worry we checked the standards first, it only says we can't go swimming!) Might have been a little borderline, but our friend was so happy and all of her non member friends and their kids came up and talked to us after and said their was a different light about us and that we made their night. So #miracles haha! I am a firm believer that Jesus would have done the same thing to make the kids and the adults happy so.
- Not so funny story, we had our friend in the home mtc Sister Gibbs come out with us again this week and we got anti-ed pretty hard. It made me sad because the lady was so angry and said she believed Jesus did not die for our sins. I wanted nothing more than to testify boldy of Jesus Christ and tell her she was wrong, but the spirit told me that it was better for me to stay silent because of how angry she already was. So we left, and I got to bear my testimony of my Savior in church yesterday in a better setting :,) Honestly getting anti-ed is kinda my favorite because it always strengthens my testimony more! Pray for my lady Jo haha!

Spiritual thought:
- Read a good scripture this week about how we have to have faith before God will manifest himself to us and I felt like it would've been perfect for my anti friends because they were saying how they demanded God to show them miracles and he never did so they didn't think he was real. So here's the scripture I loved and wished I could have shared with them, but I didn't read it until after haha:

2 Nephi 26:13 - "And that he manifesteth himself unto all those who believe in him, by the power of the Holy Ghost; yea, unto every nation, kindred, tongue, and people, working mighty miracles, signs, and wonders, among the children of men according to their faith"

Thats all!

I hope you all have a great week!

Love and miss you :))

Week 81: How far away is that plane?

Ahhhh. It's a weird feeling writing your last weekly about your last week as a missionary. I have had so many mixed emotions this week. ...
