Good news: we didn't get
hit by the tropical storm Cindy! We heard a lot about it and were getting ready
for lock down but we ended up just getting a bunch of rain instead. Sister
Edwards and I both love the rain so we had some good times tracting and dancing
in the rain. Life is good! So much rain and yet so much sunshine in my life.
Speaking of
sunshine...y'all. Sister Edwards is incredible. We have been so happy together
and have been able to work hard and give everything to this area. Something I
love about her is her ability to make the best of any situation. We have so
much fun because we laugh everything off and find the joy in every day.
Yesterday we celebrated HALF CHRISTMAS. It's a running joke from when we
celebrated our first "half Christmas" (June 25th) as a joke in the
MTC. So of course we set up a Christmas tree and listened to Christmas music
all day!
Monday was a bit of a
mess. We were so excited for Alex to come to FHE and meet the ward for the
first time. It was going alright until we were playing reverse charades and our
Bishop elbowed Alex really hard in the face. Like she was bleeding. She was a total
champ and was a good sport about it. The great thing about it is she is solid
and so ready for the gospel that even a solid elbow to the face didn't phase
her.
Alex is a literal light
and glows a bit brighter every time we see her. We've only been teaching her
for a week and a half and I can't believe the growth we've seen in her. She has
already read through 2 Nephi in the Book of Mormon, she's come to church and
three activities this week, and she just craves the spirit. She is going to be
baptized July 8th! Alex is a miracle and she is exactly what this ward needs.
My testimony of prayer
has grown so much this transfer. I know without a doubt Heavenly Father loves
us, hears us, and answers our prayers. When we take the time to talk to Him -
to really open our heart to Him and listen for what He has to
say, we see miracles. I don't know why I'm so lucky to have the gospel in my
life and to know that I can turn to Heavenly Father and rely on Him for
everything. But it sure makes me excited to share that knowledge with others! I
love being a missionary.
I love y'all! I hope you
find sunshine in your lives this week. Have a blessed one!
Sister Thomas
