Picture: I have to explain, the picture is old, because I forgot my camera, so this is a picture from almost a year ago, but I love it. I will sent a new one next week I hope, then you can compare. . .
Hi, I have had a pretty great week this week, I have been working on being more organized and focused and what I have come up with is that as I have more understanding of love and Charity and I have more of a sense of that love that comes from Christ I am more focused on what I can do to assure that I am not keeping that to myself. I have been noticing things that I am doing that I can do better because I have been working on getting a better relationship with my God and with others, I have come back to prayer. I love the way that Sister Richards talks about the first principle in lesson one. She says, "We need to have a relationship with our Heavenly Father, and if you want to have a relationship you have to communicate."
I feel like I am mostly a vague person when I communicate and share things. . . I'm working on it, but I have been seeing that I my lack of faith has been affecting people in a negative way, so I hope to turn that around and talk with people more and share my knowledge and testimony. I need to find the people that the Lord has prepare for me and so, I need to talk more.
I have decided that I will play a game (I love games and they get me excited) so, if I see someone I will go and talk to them and see how quickly I get to know their name and how many times I can say their name before I leave. That way will want to continue to talk to them to see. Too often I find myself wanting to walk away after I talk to someone, but I forget to ask for referrals, so, I will play this game and see if I can ask, "So, Tracey, who do you know . . ." I hope it works!!
This week we had a trade-off. I was working in Atlantic Beach with a sister who is new to the mission, Sister Howell, she is great! She came from the Salt Lake Temple Square mission! She is funny and I feel like I have learn from her in the short time I had. She is so smart and organized, I on the other hand am not organized, yes, I learned a lot.
We are working with quite a few people and we are finding a lot through the members especially recent converts! It is great!
I hope you are all doing well, I would love to hear fun stories of your life! Those are the best~! If I can do anything let me know!
-Love Sister Sheffer
P.S. Elder and Sister Sheffer wrote about how they were doing a date night that was mandatory for Senior Couple missionaries, so my companion and I decided that we would make sure we did a date night! We have watched movies, we have played games, oh so fun! Of course we do all these things after planning is all done. :D It is so fun! And we have done it with the other sisters when we do trade-offs! I love it!
