Literally. The other
night, it came pretty suddenly. And it was in that
so-righteous-and-loving-while-still-making-you-feel-kind-of-silly-for-even-asking
voice that he uses (You know the one--it's just shy of Holland's
bang-the-fist-on-the-pulpit-"you-shameful-sinner-you" level).
...In
other words, I'm SO STOKED for la conferencia general. Let's joyfully prepare
together, shall we?
In the mean time, let
us celebrate another week of Sister Wells' miracles in the field.
I forgot to tell you
last week (because I was too busy being deep and reflective), but there's sort
of been some crazy big changes here in Lynwood. Namely, due to
some...ahem--"obedience issues" in other parts of mission), the
elders' area (South Lynwood--the other half of our branch) was white-washed and
handed over to us sisters to care for for "a while".
I left a space between
these paragraphs to give you a second to panic for me. I don't know how to type
the whimpering sound effects it caused me to make, but there you go. With a
2-second phone call from our dear AP, Elder Davidson (whose calls we've decided
to stop answering), our stewardship doubled.
So, we spent a lot of
last week organizing area books and deciphering Teaching Records and erasing
and reorganizing giant white boards (Fun note: I LOVE giant white boards.
Thank you, Home Depot) and maps (Another fun note: I also love giant maps.
Thank you, Staples copy center) and falling in love with investigators M****** and the M***** family. So, by yesterday night, I finally felt like I had a
little bit of a handle on our new giant area. So happy.
Not 5 minutes after
having this thought, we get a call from our Zone Leaders (after 13 missed calls
that occurred during our lesson--they were panicking), only to find out that
they're taking the area back into the custody of the elders.
In other words...we
have to give their giant white board back. But you better believe I'm keeping
the map.
Today was Temple
P-Day! Sorry I didn't warn you last week. But you know better than to worry
about me too much, right? :) It was, as always, a glorious experience.
Lifted and love-filled and all that it should be. Go to the temple, friends.
Best advice I could ever offer you.
April Fools Day:
Cupcakes filled with Dijon Mustard, Aalt, and Thyme and distributed by the Zone
Leaders during their monthly apartment visits to all of the elders in the zone.
Sister Perry and I were so proud of ourselves :)
Pictures! Ay! So
behind. Don't have time now. It's another rushed p-day.
Love you all! Thanks
for the prayers and such. You're in mine :)
