So Sister Jones and I had another awesome week!
Last Tuesday was our Zone Conference which was super fun! I'm sending a pic of Sister Jones, Sister Wilson, and myself. Sister Wilson
lived in the same building as me during my first transfer and I love
her to pieces. She was also Sister Jones' companion in the MTC.
It was great
to see so many friends from previous districts and zones, especially
Elder Schenk from my MTC district who I haven't seen since my first week
in the field. All of the speakers were really good and then there was Sister Jones' and my musical number... actually it went pretty darn
well. I don't know what happened. She always sings amazingly of
course, but I must have had some serious help from the other side or
something. :) However, I've informed her to never volunteer us to sing
in public again while I'm hooked up to an I.V. and on drugs and not
thinking very clearly so I somehow end up agreeing to sing. :) I
received my Christmas package after the zone conference, hallelujah!!
Thanks Mom!! The shoes were so needed and I can't wait to open up my
present and the letters... hopefully I can wait until Christmas. ;)
We had a tougher week in some ways. Almost none of our investigators
are keeping their commitments and almost all of the less actives who
have been coming back into activity did not attend church this week.
However, we've been continually getting better at teaching and are
really going to try to focus on extending good commitments this week.
We have an exciting week ahead of us with our Christmas conference
tomorrow and then our ward Christmas party on Saturday! Even though
it's sunny and hot and there are no pine trees, Christmastime is still
here. :)
We have really
been trying to be healthy this transfer and things have finally
clicked for me health-wise. I think it's since we both realized
that word of wisdom was given to us not just as a list of things that
are "bawal" (not allowed) but it talks about the healthy
foods we should eat and getting enough sleep and yeah... it's just
the first time I've really wanted to take care of my body for the
right reasons. So... I'm sending a picture of our food after our
big grocery trip last week as well as a pic of a lunch meal we made.
We've switched out our white rice for brown... so much
healthier and tastes better too. :)
I'm so
grateful for my mission and I know this is where I'm supposed to be.
:) AND... we get to skype in two weeks!! Probably on Christmas. I'm so excited!! I really, really am
hoping that Sister Jones and I get one more transfer together!!
Sister Suminguit will almost for sure be leaving our area/apartment and I'm having
a hard time with that... she's been such a good friend and we've
lived together for the last four months... Man, I'm
going to miss her!
Well, that's about all for this week. Hope you all have a wonderful week!
Love, Sister Dickison
