how have your personal prayers changed since you've been on a mission? Every night when I say my prayers I just say a prayer of gratitude. that's it. and it has definitely changed how I view prayer. Heavenly Father does want to help me out when I need something but He also wants to know what I am grateful for that He has already given me ;}
what do you wish, if anything, you would have done differently to prepare? (so Mads & our YW will know) I would have studied the Book of Mormon more. I feel like as I am reading it, and studying it, I am learning and reading stories that I have never heard before. it is crazy awesome!
Do you know where you are headed at transfers and will you have a new address by P-day or next week? I am headed about 7-8 mins west of where I am now haha. I will be in the OKC 3rd ward now and my companion is going to be Sister Moore. it should be pretty fun :} I don't know the address yet but hopefully I can get that to you soon :}
When did you feel the Lord's spirit the strongest this week? (cite many examples if you'd like:) I have felt the Spirit so strong during our District meeting this week. It was focused on Miracles and Faith to preform/witness them. It was amazing and Elder Tripp did an amazing job. he talked about how sacrifice plays a huge role in miracles as well and how the things we gave up to go on a mission, will in turn help us to grow stronger in our faith and preform miracles. the Lord will bless us for our sacrifice. It was really good.
did you try the Johnson's creamy baby oil for bug protection? I have tried it and it has worked miracles. I haven't had a mosquito bite in forever! its awesome!! thank you for that tip, it really helped a lot!
Is it mosquitoes or chiggers or what? It is mostly just mosquitoes. they are the worst out here. almost like Cardston bad.
and are you ok? I am doing good. I am sad to be leaving Quail Creek and Sister Stewart but I know that this new change will help me learn and grow some more :}
how are your shoes holding up? My shoes are champs :} they are still holding up great.
do you need anything? I think I am good for now but thank you for thinking of Me :}
I do know that I am loved and I appreciate all the prayers and support that I receive from you :} I love you tons!
this last Saturday, apparently our Mission President caught wind (hehe) that there were some people in Oklahoma who wanted to do a purge, like the horror movie where there are no laws/rules for a day. President was afraid that the missionaries might be a target so he had us go to our apartments at 7 pminstead of 9 pm.... Have you heard if anything actually happened or if it was just a rumor spread around?
And we have been having really weird storms up here. Last night there was a lightening storm. the lightening went on for 30 mins straight. I don't think anything bad happened but it was soooo cool! I have some videos of it that I will try to send to you :}
Love Meagan
