HELLO FAMILIA!
This last week has been interesting, but fun. First off last week we were able to get a member to join us in teaching our investigator Brittany about the 10 Commandments and the Sabbath Day. I think the visit really went well and the woman we brought served a mission so she knew what kind of things to say and also not say too much. Unfortunately though when Sister Cox and I went to our next set appointment with her, she had forgotten, then we tried to make dropping-in visits with her and she either wasn't home or said it wasn't a good time. She's been a tough one to teach, but when we tried to drop her, she showed an understanding and desire to continue learning how to have the Lord bless her.
We had Zone Conference Monday and Tuesday, a double zone conference with Shreveport and Texarkana zones. LOTS OF MISSIONARIES! I really got to try implementing the note style that Sister Cox uses that I admire so much. It made taking notes fun while not a hassle and not letting me get bored or lose focus. What she does is write in different sizes and capitals, then she goes back over some letters to bold them or block them. She forgets borders and just has fun writing little notes, impressions, and comments or scriptures wherever then puts icons or little drawings in between. Then to give it a pop, uses colored pens or post-it notes to draw attention to things. Now I can easily remember what things are, its like a visual road map of words!
The Huston's have been a blessing to us. They are active members in our ward, and Brother Huston was called to be the 2nd counselor in our mission so he's my leader as well. President Huston we call him. With Sister Johnson's return for zone conference she had asked if it would be possible to have dinner at their house while she was here and Sister Huston, even after a weekend of busy Youth Conference and traveling about with her husband, immediately said yes and invited not only us but the elders, a member, and both Sister Training Leaders into her home. Sister Cox and I have been deciding on one line descriptions for people we meet that to us our examples to look up to--Sister Huston being one of them. The description I came up with for her is:
Members have really been a blessing to us feeding and supporting us as people. The McCabe's (mentioned before for feeding me squrriel) fed us frogs legs on Sunday. It wasn't that bad, but it was awkward to eat. Sister Cox is always remarking how good I am with animals and how it allows me to connect to members the way she can't sometimes, its been fun seeing so many different animals because of this.
I am happy and healthy, I will not mention my weight, but just say that I am smiling. Love you all!!!!
