Feb 20th

This was a very interesting week, we had another trade off and this time I was the one with the sister leader. I was surprised at how it went, I have been struggling with tracking and she simply told me, "It is okay to be yourself." and i was reminded of the part in PMG where is promises that the gospel will come up in the conversation, so, I don't have to be a robot who randomly talks about baptism (I have permission to be myself.) :D

Today was very busy, we went out of our area to downtown Savannah. (To answer Bert's question, Savannah is divided into three areas, while my area is the largest it dose not included down town)

We saw Paula Dean at her store, she was signing books.

One of the reasons this week was so busy is because Kim is getting baptized next week and we are getting everything ready for it. Oh, I'm so happy for your baptism too Sister and Elder Sheffer! :)

I've started to notice that the only thing that I'm afraid of is the unknown, when you walk up to a door you don't know how the people will react, but it is not scary when it is over, so why worry, instead I can be excited to see what is going to happen when they open the door and to see what is going to come out of my mouth.

I love ya'll! (I haven't actually said that yet, but I might as well start practicing)

Week before V-day

This week was super amazing, yet super strange. For four days I was not companions with my companion. There was a major training meeting held in Jacksonville and because Sister D is a trainer we were asked to go.

We woke up at 4:45 to make it in time for the 9:00 meeting. It was a long drive and we had to use a lot of our miles.

While Sis. D was in the training I was able to work with her MTC companion Sis. M (I don't know how to spell her name so Sis. M will have to do). I learned so much and the funny thing is we Sis. M is comps with the Sister leader so, we left the two day training on Thursday evening and saw them the next day for trade offs. Sis. M is wonderful and has a very strong spirit.

I'm not sure if I've mentioned this, but I have an investigator, Kim, who is preparing to be baptized on Feb. 26th! She is such a lovely person and she had already read to Alma 9 before we met her and she started reading a week after Christmas. I love her!

The work is progressing, but it has nothing to do with me, its is all the spirit of the Lord, I'm just a tool in his hands and I love it!

About the pictures, I found these house while tracking one day, I couldn't help but take a picture! (I'm not sure that the owners will ever except the gospel, but we'll keep trying and I love the bunny!)

Week 7 Story 1 & 2

There are two stories that I really wanted to share for this week.

 

Story 1

 

My comp and I were in the Library waiting for the computers and while we were talking I noticed her name tag, "Sister Sheffer" and I busted out laughing, I couldn't stop for a few minutes. (My tag had been lost for a couple of days and I had been using my other one.) Turns out it had been on her desk and she put it on without looking.

 

Story 2 Same day

 

We had been given the task of getting paper work signed by a cop so we could get a new license plate, so all day long we had been looking and Sis. D said, "They are usually everywhere, but now that we are looking for them they are no where in sight." We finally just gave up and went to our appointment.

 

After the appiontment we went to go meet with a LA, and we were sitting out in our car going over what we were going to share when--you guessed it--we saw the flashing lights pull up behind us. Our prayers were answered! The cop came to our window and asked for our ID's, apparently a neighbor called thinking we were up to no good, the officer apologised, but we said with a big smile, "We've actually been looking for a cop all day!"

 

Turns out we needed to go to a station to get what we need to done, so we had to call our Zone Leaders to get permission to go outside of our area.

 

My companion has been called to be a Face book missionary! So strange. She said that she thought that missionaries are suppose to be away from those things, but she text call and get on the computer more than she ever has.

 

Another fun activity we did this week was go contacting in a flea market. it was my first real contacting activity and we gave away all of our cards. I love mormon.org. I'm not sure if I have given my profile id for it so, http://mormon.org/me/82W8/Lynn/ and anyone who doesn't have a profile on it should make one!

 

I have two gators who are heading towards baptism! Kim and Ashely. They are both lovely and they are truely growing in the ways of the Lord. I'm excited!
