What's your new area like? My new area is just like the old except that we have to walk everywhere now. we are running low on miles because of picking up the elders in random places way out of our area... so weird. But it is fun. :} it has rained a lot this week and I caught a little cold but I am all over and done with that. :} thank goodness
Do you still get to work with the less actives and do scripture reads? We do work with less actives and we do read the scriptures with them. but we also try to teach them about CPR (church pray read) and help them to keep there church attendance, scripture reading and personal/family prayers up and running. they are all so awesome and most of them are old.... but they are awesome :}
What is your favorite thing about your new companion? She always has a random story for everything. like how I have a song for almost everything, she has a story for almost everything. it is so fun
Do I need to send you a pedometer so you know how many miles you are walking each day:) ? No that's ok haha
when you share a car with the elders do you need to plan you days together so you know when each has it? or do you drive to your area together and then walk from there? We do a little of both. mostly we plan the days around who we want to see and who has the car that day... but right now we are low on miles and it is half way through the month so we both just walk or ride our bikes everywhere... or get rides from the members. we do that a lot too :}
In your personal study what did you learn that has helped you this week? I learned a lot about Hope the other day. it was very inspiring, motivating and uplifting :} I also read a poem called Highs and Lows and its all about a mission and the ups and downs we all face while we are out here
What was the most spirit filled moment for you this week? Getting the revelation while I was studying about hope. my whole study was revolved around keeping up the work and a positive attitude and I didn't realize it until I was telling my companion all about my studies in comp studies haha. it was really cool
What was the most spirit filled moment for someone you were teaching? hmmmmm probably when we were teaching our 2 little investigators Chloe and Tanner Welch. Tanner is 12 and Chloe is 9. we where having them answer the baptismal questions to see if there were things we needed to go over and they are so smart! we would ask them questions and if they didn't know the answer they would go and look it up in one of the handouts we gave them. they just are so excited to be baptized it is amazing.
What is your favorite thing about this new area so far? The people we meet. well I guess that I meet cuz sis moore knows them all already haha. but there are some amazing people in the ward who just adore the missionaries and love to come out with us to lessons. it is great.
What made you laugh the most and you still smile about? Oh so we went on exchanges this last Friday to Saturday, and I went with Sister Holloway to the Village Ward which is in the Quail Creek Zone.... hahah. We went to a less-actives frat house to teach her a lesson and help her to stop smoking and drinking. so she was quitting smoking that day and didn't want to keep the cigarettes as a temptation so she gave them to sister Holloway and I to dispose of... it was so weird but so cool to see her give those up. so sister Holloway put the 3 packs of cigarettes in my backpack and we broke them in half and threw them away later :} (see pics soon)
When did you feel Heavenly Father guiding you and what happened? Sister Moore and I were planning on Wednesday night to go to Piedmont which is a city in our area. then about 5 mins later we get a text with a referral for a Book of Mormon notice on it. we look up the address and it is in Piedmont. So cool. so the next day we have a member come and pick us up to come with us and we knock on the door and the lady wasn't home. so we left her a sticky note and told her to call us... about 2 hrs later we get a call from the lady (her name is Shelley Crouse) and we set up a return appointment with her for tomorrow!! (Tuesday) we are sooo excited!
Yup that was my week haha
Love you tons!!
Love Meagan
