HEY ALL!
How was y'alls week? We had a pretty good one. First things first, we
SURVIVED teaching at CMLC! (Combined Mission Leadership Council.) And it went
pretty good! Well, says everyone who told is it was exactly what they needed to
hear. So that was awesome. That fulfilled our purpose haha. I have no idea what
exactly we said, but that's okay because that means we taught with the Spirit :)
Yay!
Also. I had bacon wrapped tater tots on Tuesday (the member who had us over
for dinner makes them) and OH MY GOODNESS. Seriously like the best thing ever.
Usually tater tots aren't my most favouritest thing in the world and I'll eat
them...but they wouldn't be my first choice. But there's something about bacon
wrapped ANYTHING that makes it SOOOO GOOOD. So if you're feeling up to try
something new...that's definitely something you could try!
District Meeting on Wednesday was really good. The topic was "Faith in
Finding". Sister Park and I both received revelation for our area at like the
same time. I turned to her and was like "hey. Sister Park. We need to tract all
next week." And then she's like "you're gonna make me start crying because I was
just going to tell you that." And we were like whoaaaa. And so that's the plan
this week! EVERY possible moment we have, we'll be out knocking doors. Soooooo,
if you want to, you can totally pray that the people's hearts will be prepared
for us as we knock on their doors. We are hoping to find 4 new investigators PER
WEEK. So I'll keep you posted on that :)
At CMLC on Friday President told us that the leading key indicator was
active member lessons and he wasn't too impressed with that. Understandably. So
he came up with some new guidelines for member visits. Pretty much if we aren't
over there to eat, get referrals, or having a member home lesson with an
investigator, we shouldn't be at the members houses. That's the overall jist of
it. A lot of people were super unhappy with it...but Sister Park and I were
super excited about it. It gives us NO excuses to not be finding. And we were SO
glad that we decided to tract all next week at District Meeting haha. President
told us that we are called as MISSIONARIES. Not Home/Visiting teachers. So our
main purpose is to find and to rescue. I think this will be really good for the
whole mission. I'm excited to see what comes from it :)
Also. I totally succeeded at city driving. Ha before the mission I was
terrified to drive in Calgary and Edmonton....but yo. I survived and CALMLY
drove through Raleigh rush hour traffic like it was nothing. YEAHHH BUDDY. It
was awesome. So Calgary and Edmonton ain't got nothin on me now ;) hahaha. But
seriously on the way home, this stretch of road that was supposed to take like
10 minutes...took 40. Haha. There were SO many cars. It was crazy. But all is
well! We made it just fine :)
Next week I should have a bunch of fun stories for ya. I'll try and keep
better track of what actually happens this upcoming week! Ha.
I feel SO blessed to be a missionary. I wouldn't trade it for anything in
the world. It's the best calling I've ever had and will ever receive I'm
sure...there's nothing quite like being a servant of the Lord FULL TIME. It's
amazing. The miracles and tender mercies that you see on a daily basis are
innumerable. I just love it. I know that the church is true and I know that
Christ lives and I know that He's got our backs. He's our number one
supporter...all we have to do is let Him in. :)
I love y'all. And I hope y'all have an AH-MAZING week. Take care.
MUCH LOVE,
Sister Blumel
