So this week was great:) I said goodbye to Columbia 2nd ward- which is an amazing place with special people. And also goodbye to Sister Noa & Sister Olsen. It was so fun being with Sister Olsen again. We are the best of friends & I am grateful Heavenly Father let us be together one more transfer:)
Tuesday we had a great zone training as we wrapped up the transfer. Columbia zone was on fire while I was there. It is so cool to see the Lord hastening His work:)
Wednesday was transfers! Hagerstown is soooooooo great! Ahhh asdf jkl;asdlfk! Missionary work is a big thing here. The ward members are so involved & really care about the people in the area. It is a cool thing to see. Every Wednesday all 4 sets of missionaries in the ward go on splits with the members. I went with Sister Stoops to help our investigator Jessica pack. She was getting evicted:( Crazy thing is- when we were helping her move Sister Priest from the Braddock Heights ward was there! They are family friends, it was cool to see her again:)
Thursday we were helping her move out with a few ward members since she had to be out by 9 am. There was also another family in the ward getting evicted that same day. It was heartbreaking to see all of their stuff just out on the corner. The ward members showed a lot of support & we were able to help move all of the stuff to storage. We have so much to be grateful for...
Friday we had mission leadership council in frederick where we talked a lot about obedience & love being the motivating factor. i love that the culture of our mission is exact obedience...I have learned so much about the kind of disciple I want to be for the rest of my life.
Saturday we met with Jessica & taught her the gospel of Jesus Christ at Sister Hendricks house. She started to cry & she said that she has seen the Lord's hand in her life more since she started meeting with the missionaries. She also said that these feelings she gets are new to her & that they clarify everything. It was so cool!!:)
Yesterday we taught our investigator Skylar about the Book of Mormon & also Marisol- about praying often. She is 9 years old & has such simple faith. She is getting baptized August 20th. Children have taught me so much on my mission.
I am so grateful to be here with Sister Giles. She is from Mesa, AZ so we can relate on the dry heat thing:) She is an incredible missionary & has already taught me so much these past few days. I feel like I have already grown & have so much growing to do. Truly the Lord never lets us be okay with standing still... He will always test, try, and pull us to help us change into something greater. I love you guys so much & I am truly grateful for all of your love & support. Xoxo Sister Stolworthy
