5th Transfer: Week 5 ~ Walking, Walking and More Walking........

So this is the joke for the week... every time me and the sisters would go out, walk around, and do the work I always said "what a perverse generation!" They all just laughed and thought that was so hilarious and told me to put it as my subject for my weekly e-mail. So I did :) It's really funny how as missionaries our sense of humor has changed. Now we quote scriptures at each other and we think it's so hilarious. I love the Bible and the Book of Mormon. There's just so much humor in them...HAHA!

Food after walking for almost 2 hours
to this dinner appt.

Well, as for this week it was so HARD walking for those 2 days! I was going to die!!! Never in my life have my feet hurt so bad. Never in my life have I been looked at so much. As we passed people and tried to talk with them they just kept on going and didn't care about what we had to say. We would get laughed at on the streets and everything. Men would just say inappropriate things to us and make these nasty sound effects. So yes, perverse generation! Even when we tried to get on the buses we had no idea how they ran. We have so many different buses and they all go to a different area. Just to show how small this island is... every bus apparently goes around the whole island before it gets to your destination. Even if you're pretty close to where you need to go. I started to joke

Me with Brother Bullard and
 his grandkids:)

around with Sister Dill and I would say "Welcome to our wonderful bus service where we will drive you around the whole island and bring you to your destination at the end of the day!" It was ridiculous. So we just stopped using buses and walked everywhere. It took us one and a half hours to reach every single appointment. Thats how far we walked just to get to one appointment. And the sun was just burning our skins off with no wind. I felt like I was near the end of my life! It was a trial and the only thing that kept me going was the Savior's Atonement. He went through so much but yet, he accomplished his mission and so will I. Oh! We got our car back!

We planned on going to the beach
but instead we got soaked! 

A really amazing thing that I saw happen this week was that our recent convert Andrew (Lisa's husband) needed help with his talk for this Sunday so we helped him make an outline. He then wanted to put a specific scripture in his talk but he forgot where the verse was in the scriptures. I told him to describe what the verse was talking about and he told me it was about the Savior telling the people to follow him. So immediately I knew it was in the New Testament and I opened up the scriptures and went directly to the scripture where the Savior is telling his disciples to pick up their cross and follow him. He looked at me amazed and said "Yeah thats the exact scripture!" and I told him "well, the Spirit is quite amazing isn't it?" he just laughed! I was even amazed. The Spirit just

brings things to your remembrance and guides you in accomplishing the Lords work. It's amazing to me. That was a cool experience. I am glad you all got to watch Elder Hollands talk. I absolutely LOVED it! He is very powerful in what he says.

(Do we keep the commandments out of our love for the Savior and our Heavenly Father or because we want to recieve blessings?) I really strive to do my best out of my love for Him. The way we start doing things out of our love for Him is by praying to Him daily. That will help us to gain that relationship with HIM then

I was soaked in this picture...oh well!!
 Life of a missionary! 

everything we do will be based on following our Savior's footsteps. We will be able to walk as He would if he was in our situation. It's crazy how it

works. As long as we develop that relationship then we start seeing others as the Savior sees them. When we can do that our ways will begin to align with his. So prayer is a wonderful thing. Heavenly Father sees our weaknesses it's just up to us to talk to Him and tell Him what our weaknesses are. Then we need to have faith in Him knowing he will help us through them. Having the privilege to pray shows me how much He loves us individually. We need to show Him we love Him through not only our actions but the desires of our hearts as well. So

They were catching fish

thats something I need to continue to work on each and every day. I found a scripture today in Luke 6. I think the verses are 31-38 but I am not to sure I forgot my scriptures. It just talks about how we need to improve ourselves. Our Savior loves each and every one of us and he even counsels us to do good to others and when we do, it's as if we are doing it to Him. So even if we have people that we don't get along with, we need to show them patience and love. We don't need to judge them, because we are not the JUDGE. God is. That is His job. I think that as long as we work on loving others, we are showing our love for the Savior because we are growing to love his people. But anyway those

She thought it was fragile.

are just my thoughts. Hope it all made sense. I just kind of threw words down.

We also extended 2 baptismal dates to 2 investigators this week. They both are very excited and we will be working with them towards their date in November. :) They are Fabiola and Ann. I just love them!

I hope you all have a wonderful and fun time camping together! I wish I was there but I know the Lord wants me to be here doing his work! Well I cannot wait to get to talk to you next Monday. Thank you so much for all you do for me.

All done! We had the best time.
 After the lesson of course:)

I love you all and stay safe!!! BYE MY

FAMILY LOVE YOU ALL!! :)
