We got to go on exchanges this week! I was able to stay in their
Nacogdoches and be companions with sister bushman for a day. It was
super fun! She is still in her first transfer, it reminded me of the
beginning of my mission! She is so cute!
We have noticed that a lot of people just feel comfortable and
unloading their lives on us as missionaries. We have just barely left
home! We are 20-year-old girls who know almost nothing about life!
Some people feel the need to just talk to us and tell us all of their
trials, all of their past and everything that is weighing them down.
It just goes to show that we truly are representatives of Jesus
Christ. It is so amazing that people see us as his representatives
instead of as the 19 or 20-year-old girls that we truly are.
The Anderson family is doing so great! They truly are a miracle and a
blessing every single day that we see them! Aujayla and Jaymari their
baptismal interview this week! They will be baptized Saturday! Aujayla
turned 12 on Tuesday! We went over to their house and brought her gift
=) she is so adorable! Their family has a great spirit about them!
In relief society we were talking about parenting and Jessica spoke up
and said she looks through her 14 year old son's phone and saw one
time a girl who said that she loves him so Jessica texted back saying:
"you don't love him as much as his mamma does!" :) Jessica is
hilarious!
We also saw the Phillips Family this week! They are still going
through challenging times but they are turning to the Lord for comfort
and strength.
We contacted Michelle at Goodwill the other day and went to teach her
and her husband the next day. They now have a baptismal date! There
were some points of the lesson that seem to just make sense to them =)
Fun fact of east Texan culture: there is a brother in the ward who has
always carried a backpack to church, I never knew why. We found out
yesterday that it is full of loaded weapons!
Also our hubcaps were stolen off our car! Just two of them on one
side. Probably we came out of a lesson and the person wasn't done with
all four yet so they ran away. We aren't sure where they were stolen,
we didn't notice right away. The car just looked funny.
Thank you everyone who sent me cards! :)
Love,
Sister Jones <3 <3 <3
