HEY FOLKS.
Soooo, today's the day. The LAST email day. What the wut? How did this even
happen? Idk. I'm confused....but excited....and terrified? Literally I feel
EVERY emotion and it's all just bottled up inside one human. Just pray that I
don't go crazy....haha.
Alright so we don't have TOO much time...which is okay....because like I'm
gonna see a lot of you this upcoming week...WUT. So I'll just give you some
highlights like last week.
> First things first, KEN GOT
BAPTIZED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Literally the best day ever. Oh my goodness gracious. I am BEYOND grateful
that I was able to witness that amazing step that he was able to take. He was
literally glowing. I just love him so much! He stood up after the talk on the
Holy Ghost and he said a few words and it made my heart so full. He is so
grateful for the church in his life and wow, I'm just so grateful I got to be a
part of this amazing journey that he's been on :) It was the best day
ever.
> And! Makaylah and Allison (our little 9 and 10 year old investigators)
got baptized as well this weekend! Last weekend in the mission? 3 baptisms?
Sounds good to me! #killinit #baptizingraleigh ;) Hahaha jks. Totally the work
of the Lord I'm telling ya. I just got super blessed to be able to be here for
it. But their baptism was awesome as well! So many people were there! It was a
full house! It was great :D
> Elder Zwick, from the seventy, came out and talked to us! We had a
devotional with all the ward councils in the Northern part of NC on Wednesday
night and he talked about member missionary work the whole time. I'm going to be
the best member missionary ever! It's happening. And then on Friday, we had a
zone conference with him. So all the missionaries in the Northern Zones were
able to have the chance to hear from Elder Zwick and it was THE BEST. I needed
to hear everything that he said and it was SUCH an AMAZING conference. He's an
inspired man! It was awesome.
> Fun fact! At the Zone Conference i got to see all my companions that
are still on the mission again! Such a tender mercy. I love all of them so so
much. <3 So grateful for every one of them and all the things that they were
able to teach me. They helped me become who I am today and I couldn't be more
thankful.
> Oh! We went on exchanges and I got to be with my Baby Peterson one
more time. Wow that was much needed. We have too much fun together...but like we
work REALLY good together too. Still got that companion unity! Yassss. :D It was
good!
> At Makaylah and Allison's baptism Sister Scribner was able to be there
(because her comp helped teach the girls and got permission to come) and
wow....I needed to see her one more time. I just love her so much!!!! Definitely
cried when we said bye....which is saying something cuz like I don't ever cry.
Dang...i've just turned into a waterfall the last 48 hours hahaha...and it'll
continue for the next 48+ hours! Oh well. I love my Baby Scrib soooooooo
freaking much!!!! <3 <3 <3
And that's about it!!!! I was gonna add up all the days I've been out and
then the days I have left....but like I didn't have time and I still don't have
time. So you can just pretend that I did haha :)
I love you all so much! And I'm excited to see all of you soon!!!! Crazy!
Doesn't feel real yet. Haha but anywho. Just know that I know the church is
true. The mission has changed my life. Literally. The NCRM has changed me. Into
a much better, much cooler version of Amy ;) (man first names are
tricky....hahahaha #missionprobs) But that's okay...you'll like her too ;)
hahaha. But I'm still goofy. Sooo there's that! Now I'm rambling. Basically
just know that I'm grateful for the mission. I don't know where I'd be without
it.
Well, keep reading, keep praying, keep going to church. You know all that
good stuff. I LOVE YOU. MISS YOU SEE YOU SOON.
MUCH LOVE,
Sister Amy Blumel
xoxoxo <3
PS - I decided to actually do the math for the amount of days I've been out
:) it was really fast...so I hope I did it right...it'd be way awkward if I was
wrong lolol. Oh well! Hoorah!
