Hey Family!
It's good to
hear that you guys have had such a wonderful time on your trip! Did you buy the
usual Kinder surprise? Luckily they have them everywhere over here so I
wasn't too disap
Things are
going pretty good here in Woodsetton. The week was slow but we had some other
things going on. On Thursday we were able to help Sister Brannon
paint her living room. Normally people don't give us a lot of
opportunities to serve so it was fun to finally be able
to help someone.On Friday we had our follow-up training at the
mission home. It was awesome! I was able to see Sister Silsby as well as the
other missionaries I was with at the MTC. Everyone seems to be doing really
well! At the beginning we split up and the new missionaries talked about the
things that we were learning and what we were experiencing. Then everyone came
back together and we talked about how to make our study more effective. One of
the things he talked about was likening it unto ourselves. As an example, he
had us flip to the first page of the restoration in Preach My Gospel where
it talks about God being our loving Heavenly Father. We read over it once, and
then we read over it again but replaced the word we with I and me. It was so
powerful! It was something that I had read over dozens of times but
when I likened it unto myself, it was a completely different experience. Kind
of obvious but it was still really cool. Tomorrow we are teaching a
lady named Georgette. I haven't met her yet, they talked to her during our
workover with the STLs, but I'm really excited! I haven't had a
"first" lesson yet and I'm stoked to finally have one. Hopefully
things will go really well and she'll want to learn more :) Tonight we have FHE
with the recent converts and some members. We have somewhat of a lesson planned
so hopefully it will go alright. Afterwards we usually play chairball, a.k.a
the best game ever. YOU GUYS HAVE TO PLAY IT. Everyone has a chair and you
usually sit in a circle on the outside of the gym. Then you have a
futbol and you kick it at each others chair. If your chair gets hit you are
out. But, you can throw the ball while sitting down and get other people out.
Preferably the person that got you out because it's revenge. It might not sound
very fun but it is. Carson, you'll have to ask Ryan and Cameron if they have
played and see what they think. This Wednesday we have zone meeting and I would
be really excited except I have to give the purpose. It's not a
big deal but I don't like doing things in front of people and I get really
nervous. Hopefully I don't mess up! Other than that I'm really excited and
can't wait to see the other missionaries again.
I'm sorry I
haven't sent very exciting pictures! I'm awful at taking them. Mom, I was
planning on sending you some of the flat but it hasn't been very clean so I
figured I should probably wait :) I promise I'll send you some more. I haven't
figured out dropbox yet but I'm going to try it again. I hope you all have a
fantastic week! I'll try to write things down as they happen so I can write
more exciting emails. Keep up the good work! You guys are AMAZING. I love you
all!! Thank you for everything! Talk to you soon!
Love,
Sister Wilde
