Hello Hello!! This week has been awesome! (Just like every
other week) So a fun fact about Franconia.. so Franconia road runs right in the
middle of our area & there are 18 churches on this road. (We counted 😂)
I heard its in the Geniuses book of world records, but obviously have no source
in finding out if that's true or not, but it's way cool & A LOT different
then Utah! Since we stand on so many door steps every day & see lots of
different rugs, doors, wreaths, etc... I feel like I am getting more & more
picky for my future door. 🙊 haha
Yesterday a Muslim guy approached us so happy & said,
"Are you Christian? I Love you!" So much love coming out of this man
it was awesome. He was thee sweetest! I love being able to share the
restoration with everybody no matter their belief! We also met this other guy
(I mean we meet a lot of guys, but this guy was cool) he was super friendly
& his shirt said "Yes". I asked what that meant & he said it
was his baptism shirt! I was like okay yeah let's talk baptism!! He let us in
& asked us to share our message with him... uhh I was like a deer in the
headlights! Nobody asks us to share our message! Wahoo so after I got over the
initial shock we shared some of the restoration! 😊 but they were
moving... sad.
The Mt. Vernon stake puts on every year a Mini MTC for the
youth! & we as missionaries were able to participate. So we were able to
take 2 sisters out with us for 2 hours! It was so much fun. They had some paper
names tags, practice taught all day, had districts & companions etc... it
was so cute!!
As a mission we focus on a Christlike attribute a transfer.
This transfer we are focusing on Charity & Love!! It's been awesome to work
on this attribute & see everything fall into place because of the love you
have for these people. We all should always have love for everyone because we
are all sons & daughters of God, but yes I totally understand... that's
hard sometimes. But as we develop charity & love negative thoughts &
feelings, judging others, avoiding others, whatever it may be will all go
away as we pray for help from God to love everyone. Love is definitely
something I have developed more & more of on my mission. Love for the
amazing people here in VA & people at home (aka all of you). I invite you
all to work on Charity & Love! I know that as you do you will see a
difference & change in yourself that you will be proud of. Christ is the
PERFECT example, so I suggest following him! [Moroni 7:47]
I LOVE (haha) all of you & wish you all the best💗
