Ferret Bath
Hey, Hi, Hello!!
So much has happened this week, it's felt like 30 days, not 8! But I have officially finished my first transfer!
We got transfer news this Saturday! Me and Sister Mansius are... staying companions! I am so excited! I love her so much! But wait! There is more... we are getting a brand new trainee! Yes, we are going to be trio training! Ah I am actually so excited. I just basically get a new friend! I cant wait to meet her tomorrow!!
The reason we are trio training is because the mission split! We are going to be getting so many sisters! HOW EXCITING!! So now my mission is Arizona Phoenix West!
This last week we did exchanges with the Hermanas so I got to be Hermana Peterson for the day! It was a lot of sitting in lessons just listening to the Spanish! It was very satisfying to listen to. I did also learn a bit of Spanish myself! I know:¡Hola! Somos las misioneros por Jesucristo
And a very simple prayer. They were all sweet and impressed when I whipped those out! They were also impressed with how tall I am haha. But hey! Who isn't?
We got to see Heidi one last time before she moves! We helped her out by giving her ferret - Dirtbag - and her dog - Moses - baths. It was the weirdest experience washing a ferret. I think everyone should try it...Sorry for the long email, here is my spiritual thought!
We talked to a mom and her two daughters at a park. I did the usual: "Can we share a message about Jesus?" And instantly the older girl, maybe about 7, clapped and said "oh I LOVE Jesus!" I asked her what she loved about Him and she bore the sweetest, simplest testimony. It made me think of what Jesus said in Matthew 18:"3 ...Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven."
Children are so pure and innocent! After we shared our message I gave them a Book of Mormon and this girl took it and instantly started flipping through it, because she loved Jesus and I shared how it is another Testament of Him. She was a great example and I invite you all to be as this child, meek and submissive with a great love for Heavenly Father and your Savior, Jesus Christ.
I love you all!
