The One Where I Was in a Dog Fight

-

 Hey y'all! This week was so fun! I'm not really sure what exactly happened. But I'm gonna try to remember. The days are slow, but the weeks go by so fast. Let's get into it......


Some happy things and what I learned from them:
• We put another one of our friends on date for baptism!! She is a youth. Super shy, but so so sweet. We are so excited! She loves the Book of Mormon and is so eager to learn more. I just look at these youth that we teach and they are just so much more mature than me. Actively seeking out religion and wanting to learn more. We take the gospel of Jesus Christ for granted so much!
• I gave a talk in sacrament meeting this week on the Gospel of Jesus Christ qnd it went really well actually! Everyone go read Alma 32: 41-43. Actually just the whole chapter. So good. Talks about faith and how to grow your faith.
• Sister Chappell and I went on exchanges together. We went into another Sisters' area because they have been struggling with finding a little bit. So we just found the. Entire. Day. It was actually so fun!! And we found 8 people all together by the end of the day! Sis Chappell and I found 5 of them!! It was so needed. I learned that I can do missionary work without my trainer! I don't need to rely on her as much!
• We met a really cool guy who was homeless for like 10 years and then found Jesus Christ and changed his life. It was so cool to talk to him and hear his story. The Atonement of Jesus Christ is HOPE!! I love it and am so grateful for it.
• The family of 6 kids is still working towards baptism!! We are trying to get the mom and oldest 2 daughters on date. The oldest daughters are so interested now!! I love it! They're family is literally my favorite!! So so fun.
• We had 5 whole Thanksgiving dinners! It was so so fun! Two were Hawaiian, one was southern, one was Phillipino/Indian, and the last one was just yo typical white American family thanksgiving. So so fun!

Some hard things and what I learned from them:
• One of our friends is having such a hard time in life. Satan is WORKING hard on him. Financially struggling, his mom is very negative to him, his kid has been so sick, and not doing good in college. I just feel so so bad for him. We aren't sure how to help at all. And he has pushed us away because of all the negativity. Ugh it's so sad. I just know that if he turns to Jesus Christ he will find rest. In Matthew 11:28-30, we can find rest in Jesus Christ.
• Sister Seibold gave her departing testimony at zone conference yesterday. It's gettin real. But you know what, it's gonna be ok. Bc it is.

Some funny things that made me laugh:
• Now for the title!!! This actually made me laugh so hard. Anyways, so Sister Chappell and I were in the other sisters' area and we went to this referrals house. We start walking up to it and we see the family outside talking. And then we see their dog.... it makes eye contact with us and starts ferociusly barking and growling at us and then BOLTS at us! Sister Chappell and I split ways and so the dog ran right inbetween us. Then it turns around, looks at me a bolts at me and bites my sweater as it runs at me. It looks at me again with a piece of my sweater in its mouth and starts running at me again! It gets close to me and I yell "NO!!" And it just stops, right there infront of me. Then Sister Chappell asks for the person we were looking for and we walk away lol. I was in SHOCK i was laughing and crying at the same time. It was just so funny that i had been attacked by a dog lollll.
• We were riding our bikes back to our apartment and there is like this ledge from the sidewalk to the dirt and then a hill. I accidentally went off the sidewalk and. Then fell down the little hill on my bike lol. I am so bad at steering my bike, bc its a lil too tall for me.
• In Zone conference I accidentally dropped my pen behind us like 3 times. Then we were all talking in groups and stuff and Sister Seibold and I were joking about chucking my pen back behind us again. But then the pen hit the chair infront and went flying up in the air like 10 feet!! Hahahaha and then it hit one of the elders oops bahahhaa. We were DYING🤣

Drum roll please🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁 Sister Rose time!!!!!
At zone conference we read in Alma 26. AMAZING chapter and is so great for any soon to be missionary or already missionary. I love love love verse 12. 

"12 Yea, I know that I am nothing; as to my strength I am weak; therefore I will not boast of myself, but I will boast of my God, for in his strength I can do all things; yea, behold, many mighty miracles we have wrought in this land, for which we will praise his name forever."

Everything person we find or baptize is because of Heavenly Father. He pours his spirit upon them and puts them in the right place at the right time and us at the right place at the right time. And the spirit teaches, not even us. So we can only boast of our God. 

I love y'all,
Sister Rose

Hey yall!! Its been a good past couple weeks!! We are just workin hard and loving every second! Its been a good time. Let's get into it..... Some happy things and what I learned from them: • Our friend went from nervous to excited when she learned of her new best friend: the Holy Ghost! You don't realize, or maybe you just take for granted the incredible gift you have until a child opens your eyes. "Why are you so excited to be baptized Maite?" She replies: "Because then I won't be alone anymore." #precious • Our friend Alejandra is literally so precious! She is so ready to be baptized!! She's getting baptized this Saturday!! Yay!

She had literally been fasting when we taught her about fasting! #presh • A guy that we had talked to so briefly and got his number didn't reply to us for a bit a week. He finally r...

  Hey yall! Another great work in Kingman. Sometimes I feel like I am not in America and this was one of those weeks. I love it! Let's get into it.... Some happy things and what I learned from them: • Our friend Linda is just THE best ever. She is so short, the top of her head literally comes to the bottom of my ribs. But she is just like our little grandma. I love her. Guess what!?! Her baptism day is upon us! Long awaited, but it is this Saturday and she is so so so excited!! She told us yesterday that she just feels so ready! She feels like she has done the work(which she for sure has) and she feels ready to make this covenant with God. That is what the Atonement of Jesus Christ does for you people!! It brings you confidence. Confidence in the Lord and confidence in your abilities through Jesus Christ!! • We had a lesson with a returning member and his fiancé, Shi. Shi said that she wants to learn more about baptism and work towards it!! Such a miracle! They have gone through a ...
