Well the temple open house is over..... I’m so happy to be back
in our area but it was sad that it went by so fast! The last few days were so
fun. It rained a lot and was freezing on Saturday but that didn’t stop the
crowds from coming we had over 6000 people come and 51,000+ overall!
It was so much fun
to see people from my old areas and also some family friends from PA. I got to
see Maureen this week one of my investigators from Weston and it was so good to
see her!
This Sunday we were supposed to go to the Avon ward and do a
musical number with all the temple sisters we were all set to go and then that
morning I had a strong impression that we should go to our ward in Bloomfield I
talked to sister Morris about it and she agreed so we went to the Bloomfield
ward and it was a good thing we did because one of our less active members was
sitting in his car debating whether or not to come in and we just so happened
to pull up right next to him! Then we walk into gospel principles class and
there is someone we didn’t recognize. So we introduce ourselves to her and
turns out she had gone to the temple open house a few weeks before and she
filled out a comment card and had been talking with missionaries in SLC who
encouraged her to go to church, and there she was! We got her phone number and
hopefully we will be able to start teaching her! I’m so excited to start
teaching people again and see all the miracles that will come from this open
house.
One thing i am going to miss a lot is being able to sit in the
celestial room at the end of the day and just relax. I will also miss the
members we stayed with! They were so awesome and took such good care of us they
even invited one of their coworkers to the temple who will be coming to our
ward next Sunday!
After church on
Sunday we had to take the PVC van back up to Weston so we spent 5 hours in the
car.... driving up and back but we did get a new car and its wicked nice!
key principle:
"if we wait until we are ready, we will be waiting the rest
of our lives."
this week I’ve really learned how to live in the moment and to
just enjoy what I’m doing and who I’m with the temple open house was such an
amazing experience and I’m excited for this next transfer!
Love
you all!
