First World Problem: I had to study paper scriptures.
Bueno! Como esta? I hope you all had a wonderful week! My week started out with some technical difficulties on my ipad so I had to use paper scriptures and I acted as if it was the end of the world. We sure are spoiled to have our 88:73's. Mine is up and running so all is good.
I forgot to mention that this upcoming week is transferred. The news is that I will be staying here in Santa Rosa and I will be serving as the Sister Trainer Leader and Hermana Whitney will be going to Napa. Hermana Whitely is my new companion so it will be a little confusing going from Whitney to Whitely. I don't really know anything about Hermana Whitely except for that she has been out for a little less than 6 months but I am excited to serve her and to love her!
Since I am going to be an STL I had the opportunity to attend the Missionary Leadership Council. We were spiritually fed! We talked a lot about finding and Sister Alba's new motto is The California Santa Rosa Mission is Fearless in Finding. I have realized that fear is seriously what keeps me from contacting everyone and so we talked about ways that we can combat this fear. One of the Elders said that we must just believe in the 20 contacts and have it as our constant goal. I have realized that nothing happens unless we believe and I have not truly been believing that I can achieve the 20 every single day.
Also one of the assistants Elder Eaton talked about the importance of the Sacrament and that we truly must take that time to remember our Savior Jesus Christ. He shared that when the bread is being passed he takes his thumb and his index finger and he rubs his palm thinking of when the Savior was nailed to the cross and then when the water is being passed he does the same thing to his wrists and he thinks of when Christ hung from the cross. I did this yesterday and it changed the way that I think during the sacrament. It really helped me focus on the Savior and to make sure that I am thankful for His suffering and the opportunity that I have to repent. I encourage you to make sure that you are thinking about the Savior during the sacrament and that you find something special that you can do to chanel your thoughts in this direction.
This week it was a little hard to find people at home to teach but we were able to meet with Aliy a few times. She does not have much time but we are making sure that we at least read a little but with her and that we encourage her to continue to read and pray. Daniel and his family were not able to meet with us for very long either but we were able to share a scripture with them and they were all very touched by it.
The main thing that I have learned this week is that mumbers don't matter, the success stories don't matter what matters the most is that we at least do something! Every day I make sure that I can go to bed saying that I worked hard. This can be the same way for member missionary work! Just try it out! Do something! Work hard!
If you need ideas of what you can do to share the gospel message me on facebook (Hermana Hillary Andrews)!
This week are you going to sit and stew or go and do?
Love you all!
