It was so great to see your beautiful faces! Also Ally, you looked beautiful at Prom!! Holy cow, my sisters are gorgeous:)
This week we got lost on the bus again with our Haitian bus driver, Franz! Haha. We also were able to decorate a ton of doors for single sisters for Mother's Day :) Sister Jensen & I sang in Relief Society for the sisters. The weather this week has been crazy. Cloudy skies the whole week...it was rough. There was sunshine on Mother's Day, but it is going to be rainy the rest of the week. I really do appreciate the sunshine :)
Tuesday we had zone training... I made my 3rd cousin, Elder Stolworthy, finally take a picture with me haha. My funny story of this week... well we street contacted a teenage boy who invited us back to teach his family. When we showed up his grandma goes, "Well I am his Grandmother. & I am a Jehovah's Witness. & Tony knows where to go to get acquainted with Jesus." She shut the door. I started to chuckle a little bit later because we totally gave Tony a Book of Mormon!! :) Haha. There are Jehovah's Witnesses errrrrrywhere! But....if you get a Book of Mormon in their home... bonus! Haha. So hopefully he still reads it :)
We had dinner with a recent convert. Her nephew committed suicide a few weeks ago & she was still having a hard time with it. We talked more about the Atonement & I brought her the talk "Like a Broken Vessel" by Jeffrey R. Holland. Her sister isn't a member, but she was able to share the talk with her & they were able to talk about it. Her sister lives up in Rochester. I am so grateful for my mission. I have met many people with different struggles. & even though the struggles I have faced aren't necessarily the exact same as the people I meet- I am grateful for the sorrows I have endured that allow me to relate with people to some degree. Because the Savior can relate on every level possible. Something that has carried me through my mission is this: "The greater the sorrow, the greater the understanding. That is why He understands perfectly."
Love,
Sister Stolworthy
Elder Stolworthy....my 3rd cousin. Hahaha
