Nothing TOO terribly exciting happened this week. It's difficult to write these emails because the things that happen in missionary life that are exciting to me aren't really that exciting to normal people.
Like on Tuesday, we had a stake missionary meeting where we talked about how to improve the amount of member missionary work. Our Stake President and Mission president were there and all the ward missionaries were there. And that was pretty fun. It sounds super boring, but it's exciting to brainstorm ideas to further the work, and to improve the quality of the work of the Lord. We also got ice cream at the end.
On Wednesday we had a Zone meeting which got me all pumped up to become a better missionary. The number one thing is to be more Christlike. Because I'm not here to teach as many people as possible, for myself. I'm here to share the gospel with as many people as I can because I love them, because they are children of God too, and because He loves them, and has asked me to share the gospel with them. It's not about me. It has nothing to do with me. So this week I'm going to be better at forgetting myself. (I say that every week, and every week I get a teensy tiny bit better, but I've still got a LONG way to go.)
On Thursday we had park day. (no car) We also accidentally planned 4 appointments on completely opposite sides of town in a matter of 3 ish hours. So, we humbled ourselves and asked people for rides. (Last park day we just walked everywhere we needed to be) We ended up having an awesome lesson with a girl named Rachel. Her sister got baptized a few years ago and got married and moved to Utah, so she was curious to learn more. She was super nice, and had lots of good questions, and wasn't scared away by any of our answers. Which was exciting. :)
On Friday nothing too crazy happened, but while we were knocking I found an inchworm that I kept with me for most of my time knocking doors and I named him Everett. He was really cute. We were fast friends.
The rest of the week consisted of more teaching, Stake Conference, hazy weather (smoke coming over from the other side of the mountains), and teaching 3 women in their mid 80's who live on their own, build their own homes, and are strong independent women.
Well, that's all I've got for all of you! I hope you all have a great week! Remember who you are and what you stand for and that God loves you infinitely more than you can comprehend. If you don't feel that love, kneel down and ask Him yourself if He knows you and loves you. He'll answer if you ask sincerely. :)
I love you all and I hope all of your wildest dreams come true this week!
Love, Sister Warburton :)
