Week 49 Derland! And The Spirit is most important!! 8/17/2020

 Hi Friends!!!

It's been so good here! We did exchanges and They. Were. So. Fun. Wow. We did them with 2 sets of sisters. The first one was brand new and she was the sweetest sister in the whole entire world. Her name is Sister Staheli. She just loves and loves and loves. Ah she is just going to turn into the best missionary ever!!!
Exchange miracle! We were doing a role play for a phone call, and during the role play, a name of a former person who had been taught came into my mind. So afterward, I told Sister Staheli that we needed to call her. She hasn't ever picked up, but this time she did!!! And she said she wanted us to share a message and meet her son!!!!! Whaaaat. AND THEN. We called this other lady and she said she wanted to videochat with us too!!!! Exchange miracles are the best((: Sister Staheli just taught me so much about love and faith. I just love her!! She is so cute and just gets so excited about little things. And then the other exchange was with Sister Weenig. We came out to the mission field on the same day and were "companions" for a night. This exchange was just so fun. We just reflected on our missions and had so much fun together. That night we decided to bring one of the district leaders in our zone cookies and brownies, so we drove to their apartment and called them, and I went all, "hey! We brought you cookies and brownies! We are outside your apartment and next to this place called Derland." They started laughing and I was like huh?? Well it was dark and turns out that the sign said Launderland, but only Derland was lit up. LOL. 

This week we got to meet with Mitch!! We taught him the Restoration and the Plan of Salvation, and he told us that he just wants to get baptized tomorrow and just always have the spirit with him. How awesome!!

Okay, I think I will end it here with a little closing thought. The spirit!!! I have recently come to realize that the Spirit is sooo important. I knew this before and had the spirit before, but didn't realize it was so crucial to have all of the time. It's so important to be worthy of it. If we don't have it in this work, we don't understand that it is the Lord that leads and guides it. Recently I've just really wanted to strive to be the best missionary I can be and always have the spirit. The spirit helps us be kind in difficult situations, inspires our mind to the things we need to do, helps us open our ears to discern, and helps us say the things the Lord wants us to say to help these people. Also, Preach my Gospel. It's key. Honestly, I all I want to be is a Preach my Gospel missionary. I love you all!!
