Hi Everyone!!
Can't believe that i have been out a full transfer! That's crazy! Kind of crazy because I still have no clue what I am doing but oh well:)
Some highlights of the week
---On Thursday we got to go to the temple which was amazing!! I loved it! It was so peaceful and I felt so much love from Heavenly Father. I know that life can be hard and we all make mistakes but if we are trying our best even when we fall short Heavenly Father is so proud of us. He knows our weaknesses so well and he knows the accomplishes that we make. It is so comforting to know that he is fully aware of us.
---Also, I love prayer! I thought I would never say that because I mean for the longest time I thought I was just talking to a wall. But it is my favorite part of the day, the time that I get to kneel down and talk to my father in heaven about everything! He will always listen to me. I am still working on making my prayers more two sided but I love that Heavenly Father, the most supreme being and person ever lets us talk to him through prayer! We didn't do anything to deserve that he just loves us that much.
---Transfers: Sister Ireland and I are staying together!! I am so happy about that!
---POWELLS: They are the nicest people ever! It was so fun to see them! They took us out to lunch. Brother Powell, Dianna and Grandma and then they offered to shop for us and everything! It was so nice to see them. Tell them thank you so much! Then Sunday morning was a even greater surprise! They came back to give us a Christmas tree, lights and some treats, some of my favorite treats as well! It was so nice! We thought we were going to go without a tree this year so it was the best surprise! Tell them thank you!!
---So the members in our ward hate it that we don't have a car and one of the members actually did something about it. Sister Nicholes and her husband use to be mission presidents in Korea and she called and talked to Sister Dymock about us not having a car and then on Saturday night we got a call from our mission president and he told us that we might be getting a car and then last night our district leader said we are getting a car tomorrow so that is quite exciting! I was getting use to not having a car expect last night it hailed snowed and the cement was so slippery that we thought we were going to fall and freeze but then someone drove by and they offered us a ride home which was so nice. They are from the Elders ward and then they called the Elders and gave them a hard time for not giving us the car- even though it isn't there call. But it was funny
.
--Sister Ireland got called to be Sister Training Leader which means that I will have to go on a lot of exchanges
---Ward council is always super funny to because we have no credibility in how old we say people are because we said that one person was 60 and apparently they thought she was in her 40s so they always make fun of us for that.
---Lane still wants to be baptized on Decemeber 24th so hopefully he will stop smoking and he wont have problems with question #4. But he is really excited because he was attacked on Christmas Eve the other year so he wants to replace that with a good memory. Also, he is a gold digger and he has a ton of gold that he shows us which is cool.
Love Sister Stevenson
---ALSO THE BEST PART was that the Estes family came to church! I love their family so much and we haven't even legit taught them. The dad is a member, his wife isn't a member and his four kids aren't either. But all of them came! Even the 20 year son came to church! Sister Ireland turned around and church and her eyes got super big and I was like are they here! They are super nice, polite and fun! I really hope that we get to meet with them this week! We had a lesson set up last week but then they weren't home so I am hoping that this week they will remember. Also, funny story...So Saturday evening we tried them to see if they were home and we waited forever and knocked several times and then this guy answered the door in like no clothes except his boxers and we just asked if anyone was home and he said no so we told him that we would just try later. That night we texted Brother Estes and was like "We met your son, Killian" And he was like you did? Killian was with me the whole day... And then we were like oh awkward. apparently it was her daughter's boyfriend, it was funnier in the moment and a lot more awkward...yah sorry that was a really pointless story.
