I am no longer considered a "Greenie" - I have graduated! I have a new Companion and I love my new Companion! Sister Hosea is the best! We exercise, study, and obey the White Handbook with exactness! It's important to be obedient to Heavenly Father's commandments. Obedience=Blessings! We've already been seeing blessings in our mission from being obedient! I've seen a huge improvement in myself. My sleep is better, my appetite is better, my studying is better, and even the way I say a prayer is better! Improvement and progression have one eternal round. My happiness is also increasing. My love for Heavenly Father and everyone around me is increasing - all because Sister Hosea and I simply decided to be obedient.
We met this sweet little old lady named Stella. We actually woke her up when we came to visit. But she invited us in and became very excited when she realized we believe in Jesus Christ. She is 72 years old. But she looks much younger. I told her she must be taking good care of herself. She replied: "I don't take care of myself, the Lord takes care of me." After a while, she kept thanking God for sending two angels to come visit her for New Years. My heart was leaping with joy! The Lord has definitely prepared her to hear our message. We're visiting her this week and we are very excited!
Sister Hosea pointed out that I'm good at remembering the little (but important) details. Like, remembering to lock the door, or remembering we need to call or text someone. I was happy to hear that. I never thought of that before. We've been visiting members throughout the week so Sister Hosea could get to know them. I love her so much! ^_^ I feel like I can learn a lot from her. Yesterday she showed me an app that shows my family tree and I could not stop playing with it! (She should never have shown it to me because I love it!) I found my great-great grandma Hilma Wilhelmina Jansson! She's from Sweden! I was so excited to learn about this. I was into Scandinavian folklore before my mission and I couldn't figure out why! Now I know! I have Swedish blood in me! ^_^
I love family history because I like learning family names and new names.
I JUST LOVE FAMILY HISTORY EVERYONE!
Do your family history!!! You will love it too!!
-Always, Sister Brown
