Heeeyyy-loooooo!
How was everyone's week?! Mine was pretty
decent! It wasn't AMAZING but it wasn't awful haha it was one of those pretty
normal weeks. So I can't complain!!
Monday: We were able to have a
really good lesson with our investigator, Ken. We taught him the Law of
Chastity. Which is always a good time hahaha. I'm so used to teaching that
lesson to kids that I almost didn't know how to teach it to an adult. Haha but
all went well and he understands and has committed to live it! He told us that
if he was younger, that would be a lot harder of a sell for him..but because
he's older, there's gonna be no problems. So yay! #success.
Tuesday: We spent all day at the doctors. Turns out I got
Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome. Also called Runner's Knee. Which is awkward and
kinda....what's the word....? ...ironic?.. because I don't run.....everyone who
knows me well enough knows this ahaha. But alas, it's because we've been walking
A TON. And I overused it and so it tried to fix itself by filling up with
fluid....but that was counter productive because that just made it worse. Haha
but! Everything's good now! I listened to the doctor and I'm on the mend.
Hallelujah! #backtoworkwego!
Wednesday: District Meeting! It was
actually really good this week. After that we went and visited our recent
convert, Verlinda! She found this anti video about so we had to clear some
things up haha man Satan works so hard...it's kinda sad...but he's not gonna
win! We left her feeling a lot better than she was when we got there. So hooray!
That's always a good feeling. Thanks spirit!! And then after that my knee felt
like it was gonna die..so we had to go and ice it. LAME. But it's okay. We were
able to have a lesson with a cute family in the evening. We taught a little
restoration and then asked them who they knew that would appreciate the message
we have to share. But turns out they just moved here so they don't know anyone
yet....BUT! They told us that they would make some friends! :)
Yay!
Thursday: We weekly planned. And then we figured out a
baptismal date for a 10 year old! She took the lessons before but then she had a
lot of family things go on...so it's been a while since she met with
missionaries. But we reviewed the lessons with her and she literally remembers
everything. She's a genius. 10 years olds are smartie pants holy smokes! If
nothing else, that's what my mission has taught me!!! haha! So she'll be getting
baptized on May 7th! Super exciting :)
Friday: So a member in the
Raleigh 1st ward got in contact with us and she said that her boyfriend's a
nonmember but he's met with missionaries before and he ready to be baptized!
WHOA. We ended up having dinner with them and it was awesome!! His name is Jimmy
and his girlfriend, Nichole is literally the best member missionary I've ever
seen in my whole life. Haha she's the best! So we're going to review the lessons
and get him baptized! he's so excited to make that step in his life. Wow.
Literally blessings from the Lord. This investigator literally came to
us....THAT NEVER HAPPENS! I'm so excited!!!! :D
Saturday: We
contacted a bajillion referrals. Good times! No one was home and if they were
they weren't interested haha. #storyofourlives.
Sunday: Church was
good! I had to give a talk in Raleigh 1st Sacrament meeting! it was the easiest
talk I've ever done aha. We got a call from a member of the bishopric Saturday
saying that there was a young woman that was too nervous to talk. So what ended
up happening was
she wrote the talk, sent it to me, and I just had to read it for her. It
was a really good talk! She did a good job and I was happy to help :) The rest
of Sunday was great :) Visited a ton of people, so that was good.
Well transfers news came, and I am staying in the area! I'll be dying here
in Raleigh. YAY. I love it here so I'm happy about that. And Sister Petersen is
staying too, so she'll be killing me off :) It'll be a fun few weeks!!
I hope you all have a WONDERFUL week and as always, remember to pray, read
your scriptures and go to church! It will bless your life. :)
I love you all!!!! Miss you. And take care!!! Smile. Always :)
MUCH LOVE,
Sister Blumel
