Something Good in Every Day - Might Even be Guacamole!

"Every day might not be good, 
                             but there is something good in every day."

Hi y'all.  Another crazy week.
I think I'm slowly losing my mind, haha! All I think about is missionary work, baptisms, food, sleep and even super heroes. Time is flying by. Last Monday, we decided it was time to just relax - and so we did just that. It's a refreshing thing to do.
This week we have come up with a finding idea to teach the Restoration to members, and then invite them to have someone they know learn this lesson from us. It's still a new finding idea for us, and we are planning to follow up with members in the coming weeks. This finding idea has also resulted in a lot of families wanting to feed us - which is a good thing for us.  Oh happy day!

One of our investigators texted us and asked if we could meet. We have faith that he will get baptized, but he just hasn't been coming to church. And you kind of have to come to church. So that's been hard. On Tuesday, my companion had to go to the dentist. She was having a problem with her tooth but was able to get it fixed. She knows when she needs a priesthood blessing to help her with direction and with her trials. I've learned that having the priesthood available can help you in your life. I actually learned that when I was in the Young Women program. I've never been afraid to ask for a priesthood blessing, and have always found great comfort knowing I have that special blessing in my life. I'm grateful for my Dad, and that he has priesthood power and can bless his family with healing, protection and support when needed.

Last week, we also had mission interviews with President and Sister Mella. Those two people are so awesome and I'm grateful to be blessed to serve with them.

A major accomplishment for me - I've discovered that I like guacamole and it agrees with me. No sick stomach feeling!!  It's so strange how tastes can change as one ages.

For the rest of the week, we had a lot of members cancel appointments, so that makes things a little stressful because now it's like: "What are we supposed to do now?" That's why it's always good to have backup plans. I've learned that things don't always turn out the way you want them to. We talked with the Elders who we co-cover with about the less-active list. We reviewed what we were able to get done, but we realized that we were also very tired and unfocused.

On Thursday, more of our appointments canceled, and we were trying to figure out our schedule for the next day. We went to see our investigator again - but he forgot about the appointment. On Friday we went to a baptism in Sister Hughes' previous area. It was a very spiritual night and just what we needed.  Then on Sunday, we attended church - but no investigator. We were praying so hard for him to come and attend Sacrament meeting. A member from the ward had even offered to go and pick him up to bring him to church, but he wasn't home. Looks like he decided not to come, but we'll continue to pray for him.

So it's been a stressful week, but we're hoping the member lessons will pay off.  I'll sign off for now and bid you adieu...leaving you with these thoughtful words again...

"Every day might not be good, 
                             but there is something good in every day."

I LOVE MY MISSION!!!

- Always, Sister Brown
