Hello! Happy Fall!
This week has been great! We had exchanges!! Sister Rogers came to work with me in Braddock Heights! Sister Rogers is one of the sisters that came out with me! We had a blast! We worked so hard and talked to many people!
I am always learning new things and becoming better! On exchanges I learned a lot about the pace of missionary work and how I want to pick it up! I am excited. Also Sister Stolworthy is the best! She is super chill and hilarious. Her grandpa sent her these fun mustache flavored wax things that we took some fun pictures with. :D
Also I have some pictures of stir fry I found in the freezer that was just covered in ice! Sunday I decided to just try cooking it and seeing what happened! It wasn't bad! Wasn't super good though, but that's okay! it was hilarious to make!
We had an opportunity to do service at this big Frederick Health fair Saturday morning and talked to lots of people there! We had SO many appointments fall through. I strongly believe that never in your life will you invite yourself over to so many peoples houses nor get stood up than on your mission! We have a blast though. It is so amazing when you do find those people who are searching for the truth!
This week we got a new investigator named Lisa! She is awesome! She talks a million miles an hour. We have to interrupt her to try and teach anything! She "found God," so to speak, 2 years ago after she lost her sister and ever since has been sharing her testimony with EVERYONE. She was a referral from Church Head-quarters because she wanted a free bible to give to a friend sparking interest in Christianity. She decided to hear us out! Problem is she wants to pass everything by her pastor..She doesn't want to get confused. So we continue to try and simply testify that full clarity is found in our church! She has such a great heart! I love her.
We also have investigators Cash and Mena! Man, Cash is a tricky one. They are Indian. He is extremely excited to read the Book of Mormon and the Bible but he bailed on our last appointment and hasn't come to church the last 3 sundays. We don't know what to think about that
Our last investigator is Harmony! She's 10 and scared of baptism. Although she totally wants it! So we are trying to work with her to help her have the Lord ease her fears!
This week we decided to start volunteering once a week at the ARC of Frederick! It is an association that helps Adults with disabilities. We had lots of fun! We met some great people there!
Today, Sister Stolworthy and I got to go on a Hike with Sister Lundin and Sister Rogers! On Wednesday we have SISTERS CONFERENCE! Sadly it will be the last one ever :( After Sister Christiansen organized it they were told at a Mission Presidents training that they aren't supposed to do Sisters or Elders conferences. Fortunately, we will still have it this week! So! Sisters Conference will be held at a building in our stake and Sister Christiansen chose a hike that is close to our area! She asked the Sister Training leaders, Sister Lundin and Rogers, to scout out the hike. They invited us to come along! It was lots of fun! :)
This week I did not do well at focusing on my ponderizing scripture so I will keep it for this week!
I love you all so much!
Sister Nakata
