Hola familia! Happy Martin Luther King Day! I feel the cold in my bones...also the gospel like Grandma Joy would say...but the cold as well haha. The weather continues to drop and drop. It was below zero the other night and the high is 20. I think with the humidity it feels like 10 degrees haha. We are supposed to get a snow storm Thursday & Friday! Here it comes:)
Transfers are going to be a little different now. Elder Dallin H. Oaks gave some new training that we no longer meet at one central spot for transfer meetings. So now we just move along to our next area :) Transfers are already next Wednesday. I can't believe time flies by so fast. Because the MTC is now 3 weeks for english speakers the transfer dates will be switched up for everyone, so we shall see what happens!
Monday we had a really cool lesson. A returning less-active came to a lesson with us. She bore the most powerful testimony of the Restoration. I felt the spirit so strong! I love this gospel. We then went bowling with her Monday which was fun:)
Last night we went over to a returning less-actives home and taught her and her kids how to have family home evening. Such a happy spirit as we sang "Book of Mormon stories" haha. I am so grateful and my heart is so full with love for these people I get to serve around. I feel so very blessed to be around such faithful people, who always build up my faith more than they know.
Crazy story. Sister Olsen and I were walking to the church the other night when we heard a guy behind us go "hey!" we turned around and he started speeding up so we started to speed up... when we finally got to the church I tried to unlock it as fast as I could and he started to speed up and cut across the grass. I felt like I was in a movie trying to open the door! Haha. We got in and ran into the maintenance man. It was so scary! Haha. But then a ward member happened to drive by which doesn't happen too often and gave us a ride back. Just a little odd haha.
Sister Olsen and I had the chance to sing in sacrament and Joyce came to church! She is moving slowly but surely now. I know that the Lord has His own timing for everyone.
Saturday was Social Media Split day. We were able to help out Olivia Harris, the Wrights, Sis Wages, and Sue Eldridge :) This ward is a blast. Thursday we went out with our relief society president, Sister Funk, to visit some less-active sisters that live far away. It was a great opportunity:) I love you all so very much. I am grateful for the chance to be out here each and everyday. Have a great week.
Love, Sister Stolworthy
PS - Here is my tiny district! That's what happens when you are out in the boonies :) Also, look how tiny the Luray building is! It used to be a house :)
PSS - I saw a baby cow for the first time with it's mom!! Hahaha.
