This week's shout
out goes out to all those people I haven't written back yet. My sincerest
apologies.
This week was
insane. I only saw Sister Olsen 2 days out of the week, and I was roaming the
Danvillage. PS did you know Danville has the highest clothes per capita in the
NATION? Lifestyle of the rich and famous yo. Anyways, Sister Olsen had this
huge 2 day meeting with all the leadership in the mission. So I was in a trio
with Sister Chen and Sister Ierubwara. They're the chillest. We pretty much
rocked it. Minus that we almost set the apartment on fire with the tea bag
trick again. Maybe we should stop?
Becca dropped her
baptismal date :( It was super sad. We are still working with her, we are very
hopeful. She is the sweetest and you can tell she believes. We just aren't sure
what happened to make her drop it... But the Lord knows what she needs, so we
are going to leave it in His hands and He will let us know what we can do to
help her.
Tons of miracles as
we talked with everyone. People are so cool. At least most of them. Some of
them are actually kind of mean. But they are still children of God, and
everyone deserves a chance to hear our message. If not, we just leave them
feeling better than before...
I learned how to
fill tires this week. We are borrowing this new car since a raccoon destroyed
our front bumper. It's a Chevy Malibu. I don't really like it, but I am
grateful for a car... But this thing is a boat. It's HUGE and our stupid
parking spot between two poles is nearly impossible in one fluid motion.
Anyways, this car starts beeping and telling us it needs air in the tires. I
had no idea how to do it, but this kind man came up and helped us. Not only did
he help us, he also paid for it. How nice is that? We didn't even get to ask
his name or anything, he just took off. Random Acts of Kindness. It's the thing
to do.
We wanted to invite
Glendoris to a baptism, so we had a stake out outside her house, waiting for
her to come home. She didn't for awhile, so we left. Bummer. But we came back
later, and she was home then and we were all standing on her porch and she says
"Well, I won't be at church on Sunday" and I said "Oh! Well
you should read... Chapter 20 in the Gospel Principles book" I had no idea
what that was. Looked it up the next day, and of course it's baptism. Do
I have a sweet sixth sense or what? Haha just kidding, it's the spirit.
There's been a huge push for gratitude this week. In Relief
Society, they shared 5 steps to battle materialism, which is kind of the same
thing:
1. Know who you are (It's more of what you are, not what you're
wearing. But wear clothes.)
2. Know where you're going (What's your end goal? There's more
to this life)
3. Be grateful (You don't have to have it all to have enough)
4. Think outside yourself (You are not the center of the world.
Unfortunately.)
5. Be wise (Don't be stupid. Use yo brain.)
I'm super tired, so
I don't really have much else to say, but I hope you are all having a fabulous
week. This week is supposed to be great, like all weeks. But mostly this one.
For now until next week.
Love you all!
Sister Kwan
