Well this week has
been a toughie because Tuesday mine and Sister Hansen's stomachs started
hurting (along with a majority of the missionaries here in state college). We
think some sort of stomach bug was going around (which is lovely because my
stomach is already awesomeeee) but I'm feeling a lot better today! Should be a
better week. I learned real fast being sick on the mission is no bueno!! For
one your mom isn't here to make you feel better and two you don't wanna put a
halt or slow down the missionary work - BUT resting up really did help.
So some quick
experiences where I really saw the spirit working and helping this week:
1) we are trying to be
better about sharing the gospel on the bus (It's a major toughie!) so normally
we will split up so we force ourselves to talk haha. Well Tuesday
night going to institute I somehow kinda fell asleep...(i know bad
missionary but no one was by me and I really wasn't feeling good) and all the
sudden something doesn't feel right and the spirit is telling me to open my
eyes. Turns out I missed the stop!! It's the weirdest feeling not having your
companion right there. Plus downtown at night is sketch so I freaked out a bit.
But I hurried and got off and frantically prayed and raced to find Sister
Hansen. Our reunion was joyous I'll tell you what!
2) At forums I prayed
to know what to better say. It was awesome to be talking to people and
really feel like I should say something. with 2 people I met as we talked about
things specific to them I was able to share my testimony and give them a Book
of Mormon promising that if they read it it will help with ___ problem or
whatever need may be because it has done that time and time again for me!
3) I have noticed the
spirit prompting me throughout times of teaching what to say or what not to
say, who to talk to and when I need to immediately leave. Simply put the
ultimate teacher is the spirit and when He speaks we NEED to hearken. To
hearken as I learned in seminary years ago is to listen and promptly obey and I
have seen times this week especially where I have and haven't promptly obeyed
and I can tell you it's just better to obey first off!!
Hope you all have a
great week and ask the spirit to prompt you and guide you and hearken!!
