Hey Everyone! So this was a
pretty crazy week with a pretty big change that took place in our mission. We
got an email on Thursday from our mission president saying that the Lancaster
and Harrisburg stakes, and all of the missionaries serving there, are now part
of the Maryland, Baltimore mission!! So we lost about 50 missionaries and some
of my closest friends I have made out here are now in a completely different
mission. My last area, York, is now part of that mission as well. So that was
pretty crazy. I didn't know things like that happened. But all of the
missionaries who are a part of it are taking it really well.
We had some great things happen
this week! I told you a little bit about Rachel in my last email, well this week
she called us and invited us to have dinner with her family. When we first met
her we got to know her really well and she asked what were some of the things
that we missed the most, and I told her my Mom's home cooked meals. She said
that really touched her heart and that she wanted to cook us a homemade meal.
She is so awesome!! She told us how her greatest desire really is to be a good
mom. I thought that was so cool especially in the world today where a lot of
things seem to take a higher priority than motherhood. We got to talk to her
and her family for awhile and we talked about all sorts of things. We talked
about the spiritual experiences we have had on our missions and how the best
part of our missions is how our relationship with Jesus Christ has grown so
much! She said she really wants to come to church so hopefully her and her
family will be there this week. We will be going back to see her this week as
well.
The rest of the week was pretty
typical! We were able to see a lot of people and found some new Investigators
to teach as well. Every week at church I get asked multiple times when I am
going to be moving into the ward! I think they are going to be giving me a
calling soon haha. I am grateful I have gotten to serve in this area for 13
months! Have a great week everyone!
