Sister McKay Dickson: Week 66: "Right now SUCKS..."

Haha just kidding. That was from an inside joke this week. This week was truly one of the most amazing weeks of my mission. So many miracles and good lessons learned. I always wish that I could be able to share every single experience and thing I learn out here but we would be here for awhile hahah.

Things to know:

-GOD IS GOOD! We saw sooo many miracles this week. 6 of our friends came to church and we only invited 2 of them?! Haha so I guess I just have to reverse psychology to get people to come lol...

- 2 of those friends are our friends on date! I will talk more about one of them below for my story, and the other one is our friend Cissa! She is on date for August 27th and she came to the elders baptism this week and said it made her so excited for her baptism!! She is the coolest I am so hyped.

- I went on 2 exchanges this week, one with Sister Schnebly and then with Sister Rethke in a trio with Sister Lundell and I!! They were SOOO fun. I love all my sisters :,))

- I hit 15 months. I'm in denial rn

Stories of the week:

- Our other friend that's on date is MIKE!!! I AM SO HAPPY! Long story short we had the most amazing lesson with him this week and he told us he knows the book of mormon is true and so we invited him to be baptized again (he had his records removed in the 90's) and the spirit was SO strong and he said he is ready to be baptized right now and wants to be more involved in the church!!! It was truly the best day of my life. This gospel is so amazing and it is so cool to see it soften the hearts of others. He is getting rebaptized this next Saturday! Pray for him and his wife because she is not supportive but he is still choosing to follow God and we don't want this to drive them apart!!!

- We also put our other friend Katee on date for September 3rd! She has been thinking about baptism for awhile and has come to church sooo many times and she said she thought more about it this week when she was washing dishes! Haha she is the cutest little 15 year old and already tells everyone she is a member of the church and she loves us. Pray for her too!

- Funny one from this week has to do with the title. During a lesson we asked someone how they were doing and they said "Right now sucks ....." and said a not so nice word. It was so unexpected I fell off of the bench. It was almost scary.

Spiritual thought:

We have been talking a lot about personal study and how it is not only for us here on the mission but to help us learn habits for after. If we can build good habits here on the mission then we won't fall back into who we were before the mission. If you want to keep your testimony you have to keep doing the small things! I've realized when I didn't feel God in my life before it was because I wasn't making time for him. You can't expect Him to be there if you aren't there for Him like any other relationship!

Anyway I love you all

And I love God & my Savior

They live

And love you

And so do I

Love,

Sister Dickson
