This week has been so slow... I don't even know where to begin.
Sister Nelson is gone, that was super hard to say goodbye. Sister
Abbott and I changed up our room and are getting back to teaching,
tracting and finding with just 2 people. I am so grateful that the
transition has been smooth. I love Sister Abbott and we have had a
good week together.
Diana didn't come to church on Sunday, so we have to push her
baptismal date back. We taught the Plan of Salvation and she ate it
right up. She told us that it made perfect sense to her. She told us
at the end of the lesson, "Oh I am going to the Celestial Kingdom!"
Sometimes I feel like I am living in a dream because she is so golden.
She came to the RS Valentines Day activity and met all the other
sisters. She introduced herself to EVERYONE!! She fits in so good with
the ward and they all LOVE her! It is seriously a miracle, boggles my
mind how perfect she is.
Ryan got confirmed Sunday. He has grasped right onto the gospel and is
doing his best to live the gospel everyday. The youth are amazing
here!! I'm glad that they teach me each week.
We had some really great opportunities to find and teach people this
week. I have really come to understand just how much I love people,
even when situations are awkward, uncomfortable or new to me. I'm so
glad that I have a thick layer that has been able to protect me while
serving.
We had a cool experience with this guy Bob this week. We tracted into
him and shared a little about the Book of Mormon. As we got to know
him he really opened up and expressed that he didn't feel worth
anything anymore. He didn't want to wake up in the morning and do
anything during the day. He started to cry a little. He didn't
understand why he was crying, but we were able to teach about the
spirit and told him that we were there cause God sent us to him. It
built my testimony and really taught me about following the spirit and
asking questions. Bob told us he felt kinda weird and didn't know what
that was. He said he was wanting to change, but wasn't sure how to do
that. Although Bob didn't accept our visit the 2nd time when we went
back, I know we were able to learn from that experience. I read
Helaman 9 and 10 today. Nephi is told to go back and preach and the
people harden their hearts and no one listens. If anything, that
taught me that we go up again. The work is never finished and nothing
can stop the work from progressing. People have agency and I can't
force anyone to change.
Oh yeah, so we changed our pday from 1-9pm from now on... at least if
that is what works better for the work on Mondays.. so my emails will
be later. Today for Valentine's Day we went to the church and played
Apples to Apples and Imagineiff... with our district. It was so much
fun to be with the Elders and hang out with them. Next week I get to
go to Eugene and see my girl Stephanie Morelock!!! I am so excited to
see her!!
I hope everyone had a good day today! I love you all!
Love Sister Glasgow XOXO
