I'm so grateful for
AMERICA! It's the Promised Land! I hope you all had a great Independence Day
and watched lots of fireworks! Sis. Bindrup and I were kinda lame during the
evening because no members could take us to see fireworks, so we stayed home.
But we got to watch the Cokeville Miracle and bawl our eyes out and play with
glow sticks, so that was fun! We also had a BBQ with the Baltimore Zone
missionaries, played lots of sports, ate hot dogs, and I got hit in the face
and got a bloody nose! What better way to celebrate the holiday? All is well,
though and we had a blast. I hope you did, too!
This week was SUPER busy.
We gave an instruction in the Inner Harbor zone on Tuesday about becoming a
consecrated missionary, and then we booked it to the Baltimore Zone and gave an
instruction on Following up with all the people we are working with. Lots of
instructions. Sister Bindrup likes to volunteer us for teaching opportunities. We
then got to go on exchanges with the Jones Falls sisters and I got to go there
with Sister Haertell! She's seriously the most loving person ever. She's great
:) And we got drenched in the rain. We got to eat some yummy food. Lily, my
best friend in this ward, took us out for ice cream twice this week and gave us
a ride to the VA hospital to visit someone there!
Annapolis is officially
out of the mission, and Lancaster and Chambersburg stakes are officially
in.
Our investigators are
doing great! We are working really closely with Sandra and Thereasa! Sandra has
been SUPER great! She's been giving up her Word of Wisdom issues and she's
truly progressing towards baptism! AND Thereasa took us to the Visitors Center
with her and she said she wanted to join the church and be baptized! We're
meeting with her to give her a date today! YAY! Pray for them! And they both
came to church! It’s been really cool meeting with them because we can truly
see that they're repenting because they're becoming more and more like Christ.
They are looking outwards to serve others and they are exemplifying Christ's
example. It's truly an amazing thing to see!
It's truly been an
amazing week. I got to read the talk "His Grace is Sufficient" by
Brad Wilcox this week and it's such an amazing talk. I'm going to encourage all
of you to read it and do a self-evaluation. I know His grace is sufficient, not
only to save us, but to change us. That's the good news of the Gospel! Christ
lives! Here's a link to the talk: His Grace is Sufficient
I hope you all have an
amazing week! I love you lots and don't forget to smile! See those miracles all
around you!

Oh, and Sandra gave us
some of her cigarettes so she wouldn't have them in her house. Don't worry, we threw them away :)
Love,
