Tuesday was transfers and I met my sweet sista! Sister Gweondjan. She is the sweetest human I have ever met on the planet. I love her. She is from Cali and her last name is Armenian. I struggled for a long while trying to say it. I messed it up so many times and yet she just said "its okay sister!" She is so humble and hard working. She has such a happy and peaceful spirit and she has grown so much in just 6 days! Training is the best and I hope every missionary gets to do it.
Whitewashing has been SO FUN! You literally just have no idea what you're doing. The first few days we ran around like chickens with our heads cut off haha jk but really. It's not as scary as I thought it would be. We reached out to ward members and Debbie, who was the progressing investigator in the area book, and were able to meet several people within the first few days. OKAY... we have seen SO MANY miracles this week holy cow. I can't even tell you how many miracles we have seen. Side note: we serve in Mclean 2nd ward. Mclean is a pretty rich area. The people have been very kind and respectful. We have tracted into some pretty ginormous houses. In fact, yesterday after we visited Bishop Iverson and his family, we went to dinner then headed back to bishop's neighborhood to check on a few referrals and went tracting. We knocked on this super pretty house. This guy opened the door and legit I thought it was Johnny Depp. He was super not interested but I almost asked him if he was Johny Depp. They looked that similar. haha Later on, We knocked on another house where a woman answered and she looked like Cindy Loo Hoo. She was super sweet. I was just so in awe at how similar they both looked to those movie stars! Haha
We met the cutest couple ever this week. Mr and Mrs Samson. They are an old couple, baptist, and love God. Mr. Samson has great faith and claims everyday is a beautiful day. He told me during one of our lessons this week, as he watched me flip through the Book of Mormon to scriptures, that it was very impressive and "that takes a lot of study." Haha they are the cutest. They were such a miracle to find. Their old cute home is tucked back behind two bigger newer homes. I just love them.
Fred, was a pass form the hermanas on the first day we got to our area. We called him and set up a time to meet. We have had a few lessons with him this last week! He is really searching for answers and has been searching for them for a long time. The members are awesome and came to his lesson and bore such powerful testimony. I just feel so blessed to have met these amazing people this week, and many more. So many things happened this week I cant even think of what happened! Haha I have just loved it so far.
I was pretty nervous to come into an area where I had no idea where anything was, who anyone was, having no investigators except a few, not knowing the members, and then had to train on top of that.. but Heavenly Father sure showed me up. He truly took the reigns this week, and guided us as we put our trust in Him. I learned a lot about just trusting God. He is in control of all things and I have truly seen His hand so evident in my life this week. He is so good. All the time. He blesses us with miracles as we strive to do our best to follow Him. Trust in Him, He has a perfect, much greater plan and knows much more than we do.
I love you all SO MUCH! I can wait to skype next Sunday!
xoxoxo,
Sister Hymas
