We went to lunch Sister Schmid again this week. She is too cute :) She is always telling us all of her random stories. She was finally going to come to church this week, but then it rained on Sunday and she decided it would be too slick. Next week.. :)
We also had a really awesome Relief Society activity this week. The women made care packages for the missionaries serving from this ward. It was kind of fun. We shared a thought and invited them to post their testimonies of the Savior on their Social Media accounts. So, that was good :)
We finally got to meet with Francisco this week! Woo Hoo! He is so awesome! We talked about The Word of Wisdom and the Law of Chastity. He doesnt have any issues. Considering he is a 17-year-old boy living in Southern California, his life of faithfulness without the Gospel is nothing short ofa miracle :) He is awesome though! We are hoping his mom's heart will be softened so that he will be able to be baptized. great faith and mighty prayers :)
The rest of the week has been pretty slow. Sister Letoa has some pretty monstrous blisters on the bottoms of her feet. We got a car last night, so hopefully we can pick it up a bit. Poor thing. We found out it is a foot fungus so we are cleaning everything so that I dont get it. Yikes!
Hopefully the car doesn't stay too long. We dont really have any need for it in the area. We can walk anywhere. It was nice to not have to get a ride from a member to go grocery shopping today though :)
So, this past month or so, our mission has been doing a Book of Mormon Challenge. President Van Cott invited us to read the Book of Mormon in 60 days so that we could be done in time for conference. It has been so awesome! I have read the Book of Mormon a few times already on my mission, but it has been awesome to just be united with all of the missionaries in doing so! It has brought extra power to our work. I think I am a week or so ahead, but I am in the Missionary chapters of Alma right now, and it has been extra exciting.
I am so very grateful for the many blessings that are poured out upon us by the Lord. I know that He loves us and that everything we do really can be inspired and led and guided by Him. I love the work of Salvation, and I am so eternally grateful for the time I am able to spend being so involved in it. I love feeling like I really can give something back to my Savior, even if it is small and sometimes seems of little worth. I love the scriptures, and I am grateful for the prophets that took the time to bear witness of Christ and to write down those testimonies for our learning and our benefit. The Gospel is a wonderful thing. To live it is to love it :)
I love you all! Have a wonderful week!
Sister Hope
