August 8th
Hey! How is everyone doing? First off I want to answer some questions
asked. So I have not gotten the package from you yet, but we will
check the mil later today. And yes mom they do feed me :P Actually
they probably feed me too much. And of course as soon as I got out on
my mission, my stomach started refusing to tell me when I am full, so
I have to think extra hard about my portions. I am just glad that
sister Ure and I figured out a way to sneak onto the nearby school
track at 6:30 in the morning just so that we can run it off. The
normal meal around here is chicken and potatoes, lasagna, or mac n
cheese with hot dogs. There was one week where almost every night we
had lasagna :p But it's awesome! So many of people out here grow their
own produce, and blackberries grow wild so you can find them all over
the place. One of the funniest things to me is how many Christmas tree
farms I've seen out here.
Currently Sister Ure and I have ourselves swamped with work. Although
there aren't many investigators to teach, we walk around town all the
time. Actually the other day we walked close to 3 miles out to see an
investigator because we were on a car fast. We got a call from our
ward mission leader because the bishop had seen us on the side of the
road and got horribly concerned that we were trying to walk all the
way from Sheridan to Willamina. But think about walking is we run into
so many people on the streets that we can talk to! No matter how weird
they think we are. We are also planning a crazy awesome program
centered on Christ for the whole community. It's going to have
speaking parts of scriptures and the living Christ, music, and videos.
Sister Ure and I were stress eating as the same member that yelled at
us my first week here told Luke the she got a spiritual prompting to
tell him that he may want to wait to get baptized. Ridiculous!!! Which
I don't know why we were nervous because we have so much faith in
Luke. He even told everyone at our pot luck that he's getting baptized
on the 27th. But later we asked him how his conversation went with
her. He said something that made us laugh that I have been thinking
about ever since. He said, "Our conversation was good, she has a
strong testimony, but you know... I don't think she knows Jesus." He
explained that through everything she said she didn't once mention
Jesus Christ. And I think that's something so true that we have to be
aware of. Is out message centered on Jesus Christ as we testify? If
not, then it is not going to be as powerful, your coming from the
wrong frame of mind and the spirit will not bare witness of the truth.
Well I hope you all have an awesome week! Don't forget that we are all
representatives of Christ. We all have taken his name upon us, and it
is a powerful thing.

August 1st
My face lit up a bit as I looked at the church program until our ward
mission leader said "don't get your hopes up, you're speaking first."
So as you can guess, I spoke in church this past Sunday. I talked
about the Restoration and its role in conversion. Then later on Sister
Ure and I performed a musical number. It was the BYU vocal point
version of the hymn Savior, Redeemer of My Soul. Sister Ure played the
piano while I sang. I was so nervous that I lost my place for a
second, but I'm glad we did it! It's such a beautifully powerful song.
:) Oh and apparently here every 5th Sunday is based on missionary
work. So they had a few people testify of the power of missionary work
and talk about their experiences working with us Sister Missionaries.
So cool!
Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!! We put Luke ON DATE! We had been praying for a little
while about when God knows he could be ready for baptism. We planned
on giving him a date during our lesson, but when Griggs family
mentioned baptism to him just before, we used the opportunity to talk
to him about getting baptized on August 27th. He is so excited and
ready yet nervous for some changes that are going to be made. We
promised him that if he desires it and works for it he WILL be able to
be baptized by the 27th with the help of Jesus Christ and our Father
in Heaven. Tomorrow we start the hardest step by doing the stop
smoking lesson. But if anyone can do it, he can. Baptism is a huge
step, but it is just the start of a whole new, brighter journey.
I hope you all have a great week! Always trust in God, no matter how
hard it seems sometimes to let go of the reigns. He knows much more
than we do or ever will anyways. Love you!
