Anyway. Life is good. I turn 21 next week! I don't really know what to think about that. Everyone here thinks I am 28, but it's only because they look 25 here until they are 50 then they just get really old. But it's all good.
This week was great. We had a good week and we taught really good lessons. I absolutely love seeing the change in people's hearts when we teach them. The hard part is just getting them to overcome their natural man tendencies and exercise their faith to read the book of Mormon.That is hard. Satan is really good at making people doubt or be lazy or 'busy'. But I know we have planted some really good seeds here.
This week I have spent my free time peeling my face and scalp from my sunburn last week and getting scolded by everyone for not using sunscreen...oops...but,
This week has been good though. A very average missionary week. The biggest thing that happened this week was conference. I wish we could have conference everyday. Definitely better than Christmas.
We were able to get May and her 2 kids to come with us to Saturday morning session. The kids were super bored, but I think May liked it. They went out of town Sunday so they couldn't see those sessions. Last night we watched President Monson's talk and Lawrence Corbridge's talk about the Olympians with Julie Ann and Vincent because they also didn't come and it was SO GOOD! The spirit was so strong and I think it was really good for both of them to see just how the church is organized.
As I watched conference I was really looking for things about love and charity and EVERY single talk said something about the Love of God or how to love others. It was perfect. I especially loved President Monson's talk because it was 100% about love.
I love our church. I know it really is Christ's true church. I am happy for the challenges I have as a missionary and for the rejection. I have questioned my faith, but I know now it really is the only true church and I know that we are so blessed to be members of it. I hope you all will take the challenge to read and study Preach My Gospel. I have learned so much from it and learned a lot more just about how to be a member of the church. I love you all and hope you have a good week!
Love,
Sister Mecham
