Week 23 The gospel is amazing. Find it, apply it, and hold onto it!

Hey Friends!

This week has been different thats for sure! Sister Bindrup was sick for the majority of the week :( Poor sister had the flu and a really bad ear infection. While Sister Johnson went to Zone training with some other sisters I stayed home with Sister Bindrup and basically vacuumed the whole time. I just cleaned and cleaned! She kept telling everyone afterwards that she would wake up and here the vacuum going, she would go to sleep and the vacuum was still going. She would wake up again, same thing. She got a hoot. Our vacuum was out of commission for the past like month so I was able to really get the place clean. I loved it!

This week we also were asked to sing in Sacrament meeting. With the 6 sisters and 2 elders in our ward we made up a nice missionary choir :) We sang "I'll go where you want me to go" and our new mission President and his wife (the Christiansens) spoke! They are truly some great people. I love them already. They have 5 totally daughters (I believe) and their 12 year old and another daughter in her 20's with down syndrome will be with them as they serve their 3 year mission. They are an amazing couple and have great inspiring words. We got to talk with Sister Christiansen a few times this week seeing as she oversees all things medical and she had a career in the medical field. I love them a lot.

We were able to pick up a new investigator this week! So that was awesome. It is hard to find those people who are truly prepared by the Lord, I know that it is a work that needs to be done. My testimony of missionary work period has grown so much. President Christiansen shared this quote with us today in his weekly email and I love it.

"We are commanded by God to take this gospel to all the world. That is the cause that must unite us today. Only the gospel will save the world from the calamity of its own self-destruction. Only the gospel will unite men of all races and nationalities in peace. Only the gospel will bring joy, happiness, and salvation to the human family" (Preach My Gospel, p. 2).

Things may be hard but I do have faith that the Lord does not call us to fail. And I lean on that faith :) The gospel is amazing. Find it, apply it, and hold onto it! I love you all and am so grateful for your support!

Love,

Sister Nakata

okay! So I found skyline in walmart and made some for my companions! It was great. One of these pictures is funny because of the picture of the girl in the back ground and my tag is completely sideways. Thought I would share both!

Sister Bindrup loved the skyline, sister Johnsons..not so much haha!
