Wow! Sounds like May :) it is always so busy! And who knew that Rad could sing?? I had no idea that he was into that! Is there anyone that I know that is graduating this year? I can't believe the school year is over. Where has the time gone??
We are pretty busy here! Everything is coming to a close. Elder&Sister Seely (Our mission grandparents :) ) are getting ready to end their mission in two weeks, President&Sister Alba are getting things ready for President&Sister Wright to come and then they will leave (they have about six weeks left on their mission). I am excited to meet President&Sister Wright though. We have been praying for them. They have a son who is still in high school that will be coming with them. I can't imagine leaving high school. I love how faithful members of the church are. When they are called, they leave everything behind and come to work. It is amazing.
This last week has been a good one! We had exchanges and I was with Sister Peterson. She is great. She has great ideas for making missionary work fun. I always love going on exchanges with her :) We are also planning a Mini MTC for our ward! Out theme: Come Unto Me and I Will Make You Fishers of Men. I am so excited for it! We are going to have gold fish and Swedish fish involved. Hopefully this ward participates. We made mini flyers to hand out yesterday and we also made four big flyers to hang around in the church. It will be on June 6th! So we are pretty much booked for the rest of the transfer! It will be good :) This Thursday we also get to go to the temple! I am looking forward to that. I love the temple.
Yesterday in Relief Society, Sis. McFadden gave the lesson and it was on the power of the Book of Mormon. She said that we need to read and reread the Book of Mormon so that we can be committed, centered and consumed in Him. She said, "Yesterdays meal is not going to fill you for today and tomorrow. We need to be on going, feed yourself everyday everyday everyday." She had us go up and role play giving a Book of Mormon to a friend and we talked about ideas that are simple and non threatening and not scary. These ideas included writing your testimony in the cover page of the book of mormon, when a friend asks you how your weekend went and what you did, talk about church! Use a funny example that someone shared in a talk, or talk about the enlightenment your received. Share a pass a long card with a neighbor. The list goes on and on and guess what! It continues to go on and on. Its all about the ACTION part. Once you do it, it will become easier and easier. This is what the prophet and his apostles are asking us to do as members. Be a part of the missionary work. Share a Book of Mormon with a friend and get over your selfish fear of talking about your religion. Be the light. Live your religion and in this you will find great joy. When you bring one soul into the kingdom of God how great shall be your joy, right? I invite you all to hand out a Book of Mormon THIS WEEK and tell me about it next Monday. I promise that if you have a prayer in your heart to find one who is looking for truth but does not know where to find it, Heavenly Father will put someone in your path.
I love you all! Happy summer&enjoy the week! Love, Hermana Hamblin
