Correlation meeting haha..
November 30, 2015
Well, it was the best week ever. And the
craziest. This is going to be long and a little all over, but here we go.
So I’ve been sick.....
pretty sick and got pretty tired of dealing with it, so Monday we finally went
to the doctor. After waiting for 2 hours, we finally talked to him, he wasn’t
very nice and just made me more stressed and worried..... So in the taxi home I
just cried with Hermana Smith and kind of just wished I could be anywhere else
in the world.
Then Tuesday, because of
all the health problems I have been having we have been in and out of the
mission home, Hermana Williams came with us to teach that afternoon and it was
AMAZING. She has such a strong testimony and helped our investigators so much.
Speaking of which, Karina and Ivan. THEY ARE A MIRACLE. I literally can’t
believe it. They read the Book of Mormon, they want to get baptized, they have
two little girls that are ADORABLE and they have every single part of my heart,
I never knew I could love another family so much. Anyhow, we told Hermana Williams
and she said maybe her husband would want to come too! So we visited the that
night and President comes cruising up this dirt hill in his pathfinder, walks
in and says "I heard there was food here!" haha.... to this very
humble home. It’s safe to say the lesson was AMAZING and the spirit was
incredible. They committed again to be baptized one the 26th of December and
you can just see, YOU CAN JUST SEE that they are elect and ready. In one part
of the lesson their 9 month old baby was crying so president picks it up and
says "grandpas can hold them". It was so sweet to see that kind of
love that reminded me of my own family. Anyhow, they have made every second of
this mission worth it. Everyday this week we have had members come help us and
the ward is doing so much. It seems everything is just going amazing. His
promises are sure!
Then Thanksgiving! We wore
our turkey hats from Hermana Smith’s family which was SO FUN. To every meal
haha.... That night after a week of tests we went back to the doctor.... looks like
I have more parasites haha. But, at least they figured it out. We were there
the whole night so didn’t get dinner.... and kind of went to bed hungry on Thanksgiving...
once in a lifetime. Hermana Smith is such a champ though. SO GRATEFUL for every
part of her.
So it was a crazy one. I’m
super excited for the Christmas season to start, being a missionary is for sure
the best way to do it. Yesterday we sang for this thing in the stake to help
the members work with the missionaries so we got to go to the center again. I
think every day this week was out of the ordinary haha.
But, thank you for your
prayers. Thanks for your examples. If I have learned one thing this week, it is
that the only thing He asks us to do is believe. This is a gospel of miracles,
of comfort and of hope. I know we have a Savior that loves and cares for us
every second of every day, supports us where there is nothing else and tells us
to look closer when we can’t see the point. Just don’t stop believing. It all
comes, always.
Love you all lots.......
here is a kind of poem... I’ll attach it just for fun.
The high is worth the
pain.
Every day is the best part
of the game.
Spirit unspeakable, love
uncontainable,
stray dogs and brick
kitchens have shown me
that the best things in
life aren’t things
It’s a ray through a cloud
checkered sky,
a flame in the eyes for the
first time
a blue book, a new tongue,
a shining horizon
calloused knees and tear
stained cheeks
moonlight hearts changed
through a question
all leads me to believe, to
know
He is the reason we open
our mouths
He is the Christ, what it’s
all about
How thankful I am to have
met him here
in a world that has become
my home.
Now I can truly say "I
know".
Have a great one!
Hermana Clegg
Thanksgiving
chicken in a biscuit.... heaven
