Story of my lifeeeeee!
Well as you can probably guess it was a crazy week but we survived and looking
back it was pretty good! Don't worry we are totally back up-to-par now and we
finished the week strong! Get ready for some laughs. Here are some memories from
the week:
Tuesday: we tried to
heart-attack (where you put hearts all over the door) this family in our ward
before our dinner with the Greenways. But
here's the thing, the mom and her kids were looking out the window and walked
outside right as we were about to sneak up. #Fail ha, ha. Well then we decide
to go the other way around the house. Then we decide to run. Like full sprint past the window and just put
the hearts on the garage and then jumping over the dividing hill in between the
houses. Ha, ha, ha, I'm pretty sure
anyone that saw had a good laugh! On the
plus side I didn't biff it :P We were so
out of breath when we got to dinner. But a highlight was Elder Nelson, our Zone
Leader (I served with him back in State College) was on exchanges and was with
Elder Loreto and it was fun to catch up and have some good laughs with
everyone!
Wednesday: You know
you've been comps 3 transfers and your unity is on point when: before we head
to district meeting, Sister Taun. says 'Just a heads up I'm fasting so you can
help me avoid the food after District Meeting' and I'm like 'legit?? I'm
fasting too' ha, ha, ha, ha😂 comp unity!
Thursday: we got food
poisoning from our lunch. :/ No Bueno! to say the least. So Sister Taunima
and I had more unity as we took turns in the closest bathroom wherever we were.
It wasn't until the 100th time I head "Sister McDonald, where's your
comp?" That I got tired of responding "the bathroom..." That we
decided to go home and try to plan. Ha, ha, quite the day!
Friday: We finally got to
see the Glunts! (Referral couple from Elder Gibbons & P.J.) Woot woot🎉😎 We had the Clouds come out to their lesson
with us and it was really powerful. They have been having some family health
struggles and teaching them the Plan of Salvation was really good! We tried to
extend them a baptismal date and they said they aren't quite ready for that and
need to think and pray about it. Which
is awesome! Wish more people were like
that. So keep the Glunt family in your prayers! J Then we did some service and got heat-stroke. But after resting a bit taught some lessons
that night!
Saturday: went to Sis
Badali's funeral. It was sweet and it
just made me so grateful once again to know the restored truth of the Gospel
and know that death has no sting! We can
and will be with those we love again. J Then we did service, service and more
service!
Sunday we were deciding
what to do because, surprise, plans fell through! I really wanted to reach the
goal we set to visit and teach at least 7 less active members this week. We
were one short. Then we get this text from my dear Sister Roberts and the
Washington Sisters. They told us that they were going to meet with a less active
member but she's actually in our area and would be expecting us at 3:30! Do prayers get answered or what?? So we went and met with Sister Peck who's from
Africa! It was a powerful lesson about charity
and helped me see that even though physically we struggled this week, we did
our best to turn outward in charity and the Lord greatly blessed us.
I just want you all to
know that I am so grateful for the lessons the Lord has taught me here in
Pennsylvania. I know that even the littlest of faith can be enough to pull us
through whatever comes our way. With Christ anything and everything is
possible! I know that Jesus Christ lives and that we too will live again! His
love never changes for us and whenever we need him He is just a prayer away. I am so grateful for loving heavenly and
earthly parents who keep me going and constantly lift me up with their love. I
am grateful for you, yes you, the one reading this. Because believe it or not
you have changed my life in some way and helped me more than you realize.
Know that I love you and
am eternally grateful for your love and support! Have a fabulous week! Stay
tuned for transfer news!
Love, Sister McDonald
