Oh i am sick of all of my clothes now ;} so sending some new stuff would be FABULOUS! :} I just need some kind of change so that i can look in my closet and go "OH something new to wear" cuz i have been wearing the same clothes for a year now ;p haha
Sad that Mads isn't feeling up to par :{ but hopefully the Chiropractor will help out a little bit haha
Plans for today are to go shopping for food ;] then play sports, practice a musical # for Zone Conference this coming thursday, and then eat dinner at a restaurant called the O'Connells Irish Pub and Diner haha :} sis Duersch picked it do to the fact that it says the word 'Irish' and 'Pub' in it haha.... so we will see how that goes ... going with the elders and a ward member.
OH and Mads did not send me a pic of her quilt but she said that she finished it and that she also has 3 jobs right now.... what the freak!
So i forgot where the email was again... so here are the answers to your questions haha
So what have you learned so far in your mission that you either didn't know before or didn't understand? I didn’t fully understand what the Atonement of Christ was or how it could really help me. Before I came out on my mission, I thought the Atonement was just for hard core sinners, not for 9.5pt sins like mine. But being out here, I have come to know that the Atonement helps us in ALL aspects of life, not just to forgive us and wash our sins away, but to become perfect like Christ. It gives us the strength we need everyday to stand up for what we believe, to help us just get through the day even. I am so grateful for that knowledge and I wish I could have understood that before I came out here, so I would have felt closer to my Savior from the start ;]
What is your biggest challenge? My biggest challenge is not understanding why people make empty promises. We have asked so many people to follow Jesus Christ and be baptized, but they all commit and then fall through and it never happens.
do you need coloring books for the tornado shelters while waiting out the storm? Always haha :}
where did you find the joy this week? and share the story behind it, k? I found joy in talking to this family (the durens). They are the sweetest family and I love them to death! They are the best! We had a lesson with them about the Doctrine of Christ and how important it is to live those principles (Faith, repentance, baptism, receiving the gift of the holy ghost and enduring to the end). It was just an amazing experience! Then brother Dennis Duren (the dad) made sis duersch and I rings to remember them by ;} it was so sweet!!! I just love going over there! Plus Stephanie Norris was over there as well(she is their daughter) and we talked with her as well :} it was just so fun!
do they have Zaxby's restaurants in OK? They are putting them in around here and I heard they are from the south. I have never heard of that restaurant here… I wonder if it will get here soon ;}
Sorry for the short email, I was just told we needed to be somewhere in like 5 mins so… awkward.
But I love you and miss you!! Keep on Keeping on :}
Love Meagan
