Hello!!!!!!!! family and friends!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow this week blew by!!!!!!! Sorry I didn't write last week. I talked to you guys and I figured you got to see me so I don't need to send a letter home (and to be honest it's a pain in the butt, however I do it 'cause I love you guys!!!!!!!!). Well we picked up Elder Coburn this week. It was an adjustment at first but now we are like the best of friends. I feel like we are the best tripanionship ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Our district is doing great. We have 2 new trainees and they are sooo cool!!!!!! We talked about no gossiping in the district and everyone is on board and so far it's been good. I hate gossip whether it be in a companionship, in your marriage or at your job. If you gossip about another person I think that kills trust more than anything!!!!! No we haven't seen Corkey since last we saw him. We tried to contact him but the houses in Pennsylvania are really weird- I'm talking weird... Like one in McKeesport whre you climbed up on the roof to get to the other building. That's how weird it was!!!!!!!!!!!! Well our teaching pool is actually pretty small we only have like 3 investigators. It's not lack of trying, it's just difficult to find but hey I'm not complaining. I LOOOOOVE talking to everyone. Street contacting is like my favorite thing. We have a lot of potentials but we are focusing a lot of our efforts on the less actives in our area.
So FANTASTIC news I got an email from Mindy Yocolano (remember the one that I found and she was praying for a miracle)? Well anyways she said that this past Sunday she offered to give the opening prayer in sacrament meeting!!!!!!!!!!!! That's amazing because she gets very nervous in front of other people and actually tends to laugh. She was afraid that she was gonna laugh through it but she didn't. I'm sooooo proud of her. She's still strong in the gospel. She also sent me a letter sharing her feelings about when we stopped by and how she felt as we continued to teach her!!!! The email actually made my highlight this week and possibly for the rest of my mission . I miss her and Dominic sooooooo much!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are definitely seeing them after the mission!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So for our District meeting my commitment was for the Elders and Sisters to be "Action" missionaries which means that if they receive a prompting (ex. to call someone or knock on someone's door or to talk to somebody on the street) they need to act on it immediately. That is why I am writing so late. Elder Schofield had an impression that we needed to stop by and see the Fs (less actives in the ward). At first we were like "nah let's just drive home." Then we missed our turn and we were actually driving in the direction to the F's home. So we bounced on down to their house and when we got there, Elder Steinhafel there and their home teacher was there. We had heard on Sunday that their breaker box had caught on fire. We actually gave a B.O.M. to them as well as taught a lesson. I know that God made that happen. If we hadn't followed that prompting we nor they wouldn't have had that experience. So you see, the gospel is true. Follow your promptings and act upon them!!!!!!
Funny story at church on Sunday- for choir practice our choir Director told Schofield and I that we needed to sing Bass during Sacrament for practice. We said we would and yesterday we are singing and I kinda switch between Tenor and Bass. Elder Schofield stopped singing and looked over and said what are you doing right now? I said I'm singing and then Sister Stewart, who was in front of us, turned around and laughed at us. It was sooooooo funny!!!!!!!!! Hahaha Elder Schofield and I still laugh at it!!!!!!!!!! Well I love you all. Take care. Bye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
