This last week has been awesome! I've been
feeling a little bit better and been able to almost go fully back to
work... just had to quit a little early both Friday and yesterday
nights. Hoping that everything will go well at the hospital on Saturday
when they take the stent out of me. (I will be under general anesthesia again.) I'm getting another priesthood
blessing from my District Leader tomorrow so I'm sure it will all be
fine :)
Well.... this last week really has been amazing. It's a new
transfer with a new companion and I'm feeling the fire of missionary
work again. It's been awhile... that fire just kinda got lost because
of a lot things.... weird events occurring like stalkers and
surgeries, hitting that "I've been on my mission
for awhile now and feeling kind of tired funk"... but now, it's all gone
and I'm feeling great again :)
My new companion is adorable. I just love her to pieces!!
She is on her third transfer and just
loves life... the people here, the work, this area, and is so optimistic
about everything :) Personal and companionship study have become fun
again... and I would hate it when study time's over, but, then we get to
go out and teach so... life's still good :) Sister Fewster and I are
really going to give it our all this transfer... and next transfer as
well since, you know, we've just decided that we're both going to stay
here together for next transfer. ;) Right now, we're planning on
making the branch directory our new best friend. We're going to use it
to figure out who the heck all of the members are here, find and
reactive less-actives, receive referrals through member visits, and fix
all of the problems with the directory as we go... pretty excited stuff.
It's going to be revolutionary. :) Okay... this totally wasn't my
idea. It's what everyone decided to do in Marikina Zone right before I
got transferred outta there... I was instructed to take the idea and
apply it here.... and then my normal missionary life got
turned upside down with the health problems but now it's back to normal so we're going to give it
a try :)
We have quite a few investigators who are really progressing and we love teaching them. Sister Fewster and I also are on the search for new people to
teach. Since I can't spend a lot of time roaming around on the
streets trying to OYM because of my physical challenges as of late,
we're really going to push for receiving referrals from the members.
Our branch is already pretty awesome about referrals.
Life's good... the mission's great :) When you have a chance, I
encourage you to read in Alma around chapter 24... there are some pretty
amazing stories of missionaries in there. :)
Love ya all!
Love, Sister Dickison
