Hey Hey Hey!!!!
We are alive and well and enjoying the sunny
muggy days in Michigan! Oh man I thought Arizona had a lot of mosquitos but let
me tell you there are none in Arizona NONE!!! Michigan is full of the blood
sucking insects and it is the worst thing ever!!!!!! They pretty much swarm you
and try to kill you! We were door knocking yesterday and we got attacked by
them!! It made missionary work just that much more complicated, but hey I love
the gospel I promised that I would share it in any condition. We got through
-33 degrees what's only about 100 mosquitoes around you compared to that?? Well
here is my crazy week!!
Monday- We went to a going away/ Memorial
day party for the Ruggieris. It was a lot of fun and a lot of people came out
to the party which was great! They had invited a lot of their friends and
members and it was a great missionary opportunity!
Tuesday- We had a Zone Conference!! We
learned a lot about having the spirit with us so that we can become better
teachers and better at finding those who are prepared to receive the restored
gospel. I love Zone Conferences I feel like they are always exactly what we
need and it is just the best thing ever! I love how inspired our leaders are
and how willing they are to help us in the work!
Wednesday- We taught a scripture study
class and it went really well!! The spirit was really there and it was amazing
just to feel it so strongly when talking about the restoration of the gospel!
In the class we used both the Book of Mormon and the Bible to support one
another about the restoration and that is was prophesied in both of them!
Thursday- We had a good time door knocking
and we meet some sweet people!
Friday- I was at MSU campus with Sister
Brems! She is my sister training leader! She is great! MSU was fun but pretty
empty! Lucky for us though we had 3 lessons scheduled so we weren't out finding
for a lot of the time. It was really fun to be with her!
Saturday- Oh super neat experience! Sister
Morrison and I had like a 3 mile walk to get to our destination where we were
going to door knock and we wanted to make sure that we used that walking time
to the best of our abilities! Well we decided to pray that the Lord would
provide people for us to talk to while we were walking and well of course he
did!!!! We were able to talk to like 10 people on the way to our neighborhood
and the crazy part is that we talked to more people on the way there than we
actually did while we were door knocking so it was really cool to know that the
Lord is involved in everything!!!!
Sunday- Once again I just really love
church and I am so grateful that I get that time to think of Christ while
taking the sacrament!
Spiritual Thought- This week while in
studies Sister Morrison and I were talking and we were talking about charity
and how important it is to have charity. We talked about how it is because of
the love that Heavenly Father has for us that he sent his son Jesus Christ to
die for us and it is because of the love Christ has for not only us but for his
Father that the Atonement was able to take place. It was the ultimate sign of
love from both our Heavenly Father and our Savior. It made me think how all
that we do is out of love for our Heavenly Father, our Savior and others. I
just sat in studies for a moment and thought how much we all need to have
charity for one another and it almost made me cry because I pondered about how
much love Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ have love for one another and how
much love they have for me and all of God's children. I know that charity
drives us to do righteous things for others and I know that we are so deeply
loved by Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
Love Always,
Sister Smith
