Gaining the Trust of the Members

Hey Y'all,

Hope you all had a great Memorial Day! It's kind of weird to remember holidays other than Christmas, Mother's Day, and Father's Day. Mostly because of Skyping and this year i have a really good Father's Day gift! :)

This week was transfers and I had to say good to my companion/trainer. It was sad but also good. She only has 5 weeks and are reopening an area before she goes home. So proud of her. In return i got Sister Ibarra she is from Washington State and is amazing her dad is from Mexico so she is fluent in Spanish and she has been able to use it a lot here in Garner. It's been a little hard adjusting to the way he does things after being so used to sister Behrmann, but i absolutely love her. She is very good at working with the Members and making sure they are feeling the spirit while were their and always thanking them gaining trust and love for them. She has been so loved by all the members. This ward loves missionaries. However, i have a feeling after these 5 months i may get transfered. NOOOO! I don't want too! I love Garner and i want to be with Sister Ibarra longer than just 5 weeks.

Wednesday we met Bishop at his office to meet Sister Ibarra. We could see that he is a little bit worried about the ward. We asked him if we could help in anyway and he gave us a list of people and later this week he called with another name. It is great to work with him and i know he loves his ward. It reminds me of Bishop Hammond of the love Bishops really and truly have for there ward members. Working alongside them i can see that pure love or even a sense of Christ love. Those chosen to be Bishops really are called of God. We got Sister Ibarra set up for Facebook.

Thursday we went and helped with food orders and got a ride from the Relief Society president and had a great conversation with her on the way home. Really i don't remember what we said but i rmember feeling the spirit in her car. We left her with a scripture and a prayer. She called us about an hour later asking us to come out to lunch and then to go help a sister who just moved into the ward. It was great to be given another opportunity to serve. This week was the Thursday visits and we visited a less-active family and talked about guns. My companion loves them. We talked about faith and used a tea filter. We lit it on fire in there hand and then as the flames get closer to your hand the flames goes out and the filter flouts to the ceiling. It was a way to show them faith. I was kind of hesitant with the activity but they really enjoyed it. Also we got the car from the Elders.( We lost our ride). Sister Ibarra didn't feel comfortable driving and so i did. It was weird to have finally driven. It has been since early December since the last time i have been in the Driver seat!!! So glad to have a GPS and not be completely lost. (Thanks mom, and Kory).

Saturday we rode our bikes. I have a nice tan and a sun burn. I now have the missionary farmers tan. we biked about 4 miles extra to avoid any freeways and realized we have no other way and so we had to bike back and saw the Rigglemans, tracted and saw a family whom just had a baby. We had dinner at Golden Coral and the members were so cute. They are reactive family who since we first meet them have just loved us. One is from Africa and the other is from Charlotte, NC. It was a great night and loved hearing there conversion story.

Sunday always seems to be my favorite. We had Ward council and Sister Ibarra got to meet all of the council members. We had a great sacrament on temple marriage and covenants. We had a great coordination meeting and with two new missionaries it was kind of long but we got a few names to try and see. We visited an older sister who is now widowed and she is so sweet. She is about 97 and still comes to church every Sunday and makes dinner's and anything the ward may need. We had dinner with another great family and heard that after they picked us up that her husband had just got the Melchizedek priesthood. He loved it and was talking about how amazing he feels. He glad to be able to bless his family and grand-children more fully.

Yesterday we had a crazy day and boy was it crazy. Since it is the last week of the month we have to careful with miles and so we tried to really make sure we were smart. It was crazy. I can say that i don't miss school at all!!! We had dinner with a family and talked about prayer. We had a great time and felt the spirit so strong. They are such a strong family and i really love them.

This week i learned the importance of member trust. I thought before that i did. Sister Ibarra showed me away to go a little further. Just sending a text after a dinner thanking them or asking them questions. Share a scripture and pray with them in the car when they drop us off. Ask specifically with ideas of way to serve them and most importantly give them a spiritual experience. It was a great mind opening week and so very inspiring. I think this transfer is going to be the best and i love Sister Ibarra. I know after this time together we can still be great friends but even better be great sisters.

Transfers

Hey Y'all,

Well this week was pretty crazy!!! We found out that Sister Behrmann is getting transferred and so she was pretty much packaging all week and so things were just out of sorts. We had a great week and got lots of things done!!! On Tuesday though we had Deep Clean and had to clean the entire apartment from top to bottom. I'm glad that we normally clean a little on Monday's so we didn't do to much cleaning.

This week we got a new referral from head quarters and started to teach a young girl (Don't know how old she is). She had requested a Book of Mormon and we brought it to her. We talked about it and read in 2 Nephi 31 and invited her to be baptized. She didn't say yes but she didn't say no so that was a awesome. We set up a new appointment to teach her the restoration and instead the day before she called and canceled saying she wants more time to read and then she would give us a call when she had questions. I was bummed but at least she didn't completely give up on us. We tried to call back and see if we could at least read it with her and if she had questions we could answer them and help her while reading. We sadly had to leave a voice mail.

We had the same thing happen with another potential investigator who we finally got an appointment set and then she wasn't home and so we have to see her again. Luckily she works at a store just across from our apartment complex.

We did finally met a less-active sister and her newborn and husband who we have been trying for a while. We are trying to start working with her husband. He is going to be baptized!!!

I forgot my journal so my letter is a little boring, but i do have a really embarrassing story to tell. So this week we had dinner with the Riggleman's. We were waiting for the garlic bread to finish and just talking at the table and Sister Riggleman said a joke RIGHT AS I WAS DRINKING WATER and I choked and laughed and it went all over i could swallow so i blew it all over the table and everyone. They all laughed and Sister Riggleman felt so bad and was cleaning nit up. Sister Behrmann couldn't stop laughing and me i only could laugh. However it was embarrassing and Amy keep saying gross you spit on me. Shortly after i cleaned up the mess. I found out they have already made a rule in there house to not makes jokes when some is drinking. They had a similar experience with a pasted Elder and so mine brought back the rule!!! It was great and really never a duel moment in Garner especially in the Riggleman's home! Happy Anniversary today too!!! :)

Sorry, I don't have as many good stories this week. I probably will next week when i get my new companion. I am really nervous about taking over and being in charge of the area, but i know i will do well if i allow the spirit to be with me and the Lord to help me! Wish we luck!!! Have a great week!!!

Mother's Day

Hey Y'all,

Happy belated Mother's Day and it was so great to Skype home and see all of the faces of family and friends. This week was great and full of great blessings and so much peace.

First, This week got a referral from the Elders at a Thrift store and have been trying to set an appointment with. Luckily after a couple days of fall through she gave us her number and told us to call her and set up a time to come over. We knew that she at least is interested. We haven't been able to set anything up but we are going to try to see her again. We found out that i will be staying in Garner and that Sister Behrmann is leaving! :(. I love this lady and am really going to miss her! She only has 5 more weeks after this transfer before she goes home and is going to re open an area and so she will be busy! I am so totally going to  miss her but i can see that the Lord needs her in this new area and she is the one to reopen it and i guess they can have her!

We have had great lessons with members at our dinner appointments and have been asking them about their families missionary work. we have been given a sheet from our Mission president that he and all of the stake president in our mission created with 10 ways to share the gospel. We have asked them to use one of them or to create their own and try it this week. We are really going to try to remember to follow up with them. We have been asked to continue to do it but to have a kneeling prayer with them and to pray for someone specific. Our district leader has told us that some of the members have been able to get a name. It should be great!!!

Friday was probably the best day other than mothers day this week! Who doesn't like going to the Temple!!! We had sister who hasn't been able to go, but was praying to get off work to go with us!!! Prayers work and even the fact of a small temple she was able to get in last minute. She kept telling us she knew God needed her to come to the temple and that he helped her get here. She was so sweet and it was a great experience. I loved it and i loved the time we got to spend with the other sisters as well. Our session was all Sister Missionaries and only 6 men! Our mission president got to be their it is was so great to be with him. Sister Bernhisel was sick but we still got to see her.

Saturday, we made Mothers Day hand out and tried to visit sisters in the Ward who aren't mothers or who don't have children at home. The hand out had a quote about womanhood. we thanked them for all they do in the ward and the great example they are to all. It was great to see their smiles.

Sunday was the best day. The Ward was able to set up an amazing treat for all the sisters. The men took over Young women and primary so that all of the sisters could be their in Relief Society. The Relief Society President gave a beautiful talk and had the young women sign to us. It was great we all got roses and chocolate. We were told that we are all roses. We are beautiful to God even if we may have some thorns and different looking leafs. We are all different but to God we are all beautiful. We talked about the story of Ester and the fact that we need each other and come together in times are trials for each other. We talked about our physical and spiritual needs and that we are all in God sight and that no matter what he loves us!!! Of course knowing that it was Mother's Day the Holmes family invited us over for Lunch and to Skype. We made her Lunch. Sister Behrmann made french fires and i made the hamburgers. I can see why Dad was always the one who cooked them. I felt so bad! They were a little over cooked and they cheese didn't melt right! They all said it was good and they were just getting them their was bad! We got to Skype home and i am glad to say that as much as i thought would change. Nothing has changed much! My love for my family continues to be their but i see it growing! Distance really does make the heart grow fonder. I loved seeing their faces and feeling the love they have for me! It was great to hear all that has happened! I love you all!

Well this was my week! Great to see most of you on Skype yesterday and so glad to hear your voice!!! I love you and hope to hear from you next week!!!! Love y'all!!!

Miracle Media :)

Hey Y'all,

Today is my trainer/companions birthday! Happy Birthday Sister Behrmann! This week was awesome! We did lots and had a great week with not as much teaching but lots of great service opportunities!

On Monday, we got to our investigator and found her so stressed out about everything she had to do and so we just stopped and cleaned her house while she did homework. We may not have gotten a chance to teach a great lesson like we planned but we got to show our love and allow the spirit to be in her home more strongly. I made sure to tell her that. We left having her smiling and her husband who normally gives us a cold turkey was out talking with us trying to give us money for meals but instead was invited over for dinner. he quickly started planning the menu. I think his heart is starting to be softened towards us and we found out  that he has been studying with her on occasion.  It was great!

On Tuesday I had a great experience using Facebook. I have been getting friend requests from people i don't know i have been really hesitant to accept them but I was kind of asked from our sister who is a missionary working with Facebook and told me countless times "that i may never know what will happen even if i don't know them." I finally decided to accept some. I got through 5 names and one of them messaged me thanking me for accepting them and we started to talk. I found out that he has been reading the Book of Mormon and wants to know more he has occasionally gone to Church but no one has told him anything. He lives in California and so i sent him a link to request missionaries in his area. I was kind of bummed that i cant' be the one to teach him but i looked at his friends and found that he is friends with a lot of missionaries. I knew that i personally was the one who could help him. I haven't really felt that Facebook is the best tool. But now i can see the impact Facebook can be. Like Elder Bednar has said "that we can use media to share the gospel." We are on it a lot and why not put something on there about our believes. I now know that it works and that Elder Bednar would agree with me. Try it out for yourself. share something about what you studied that day or anything that you want. People may see it and just keep scrolling, some may like it, others may comment but people will see it and the spirit will be their to help them.

On Thursday we had a great day and boy we were busy. It makes such a difference when you have the car. We had an apartment inspection and only the fact that we need to change our air filter and dust the bathroom more we were good. We even had the car checked and boy vacuuming that was terrible, but it was checked off as BEST so we were happy. We started weekly planning and then went over to a sister who had just gotten home from the hospital after having her baby. We cleaned and vacuumed. He was a beautiful baby and it was so hard not being able to hold him, but whats 18 months to the rest of my life. He definitely was adorable. We came hoe and had lunch and planned for another service project and found out half way through lunch that they had to cancel and so we just worked on weekly planning. We got maybe 10 minutes in when another sister in the ward asked if we could help pull weeds and get her garden ready before the rain came. We come over and now we are like weeding pros. Haha!

Yesterday and Saturday night was Stake Conference. Yesterday, We had it broadcast in our building and it was great Elder Parker our area seventy is amazing and so funny. He is great! One thing he did was talk about the missionaries from the Apex stake and there is about 68. He talked about the ones serving in the Apex stake and their is 96. They were to read all of them but instead he had us all stand where we were. He said that we are good at working together with the Ward but we both need to do better. He told us that while we are here in North Carolina we have a home here and that the places we serve are and should be considered and family and Mom, and Dads. It was amazing of course i started crying. I had lots of the ward member look at me and smile and some even mouthed the words "Thank You!" It was a great session. I love this Ward and I love North Carolina. I may not be to keen on the quick summer weather but i love the people and that is what truly counts!

I hope you all have a great week and i can't wait till Sunday! Happy Mothers day to all of the mothers and especially to mine who helped me become the person i am to serve here, but now i credit the Lord! Also Happy birthday to Mason, Luke and Liam. I can't believe you are all going to be 1! Love you all!

My favorite Scripture of the Week! John 14:27

27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Serving others, you are Serving God

Hey Y'all,

I had a great week and love the spring time! I did however here some sad news while being on Facebook. I am sending love and prayers to the Marlor family and hope that they can pass through this hard time and remember the Atonement and know the amazing ability in the Plan of Salvation and know that they will see there father and husband again. He was a great man, fulfilled his callings, loved his family, and were great friends to my parents and whole family! He will be missed!

This week was great and thankfully really busy! Monday was crazy we were doing so much and i am so glad that we were still able to finish cleaning our apartment. On the way to Wal-mart though was awful. We got stuck in traffic, but it was all made better when we got stuck in between a car trying to come out of the store parking lot on the left of us and the cars in front gave her enough room. She lost it when a car on the right of us come around and parked in front of her and so she was perpendicular to us. she was not going to be able to go anywhere until the light changed and we were kind of annoyed. It got better when we saw her pull out her phone and took a selfie of the way she was in between cars. We both started laughing. We had had some good and crazy experiences this week where we just had to laugh.

On Tuesday, we had FUN Zone Conferences. We had training and lessons from 9-12 then we changed into our normal people clothes and got to play capture the flag, ultimate Frisbee, soccer, and volleyball. It was great and i got to see one of my MTC companions. It was great! It had rained a lot the day before and so the field was really muddy. We got pretty muddy and at the end some of us (Not me!) slid through it! It was a great day and lots of fun!!! Who knew that missionaries play sports and have fun!!!!

On Wednesday we had lunch with a less-active and she made us the best food ever. We had potatoes, yxperigous , and salmon. It was sooo good! We saw our investigator  and invited her to church and t have a church tour. Of course the day she wanted and could come was next Sunday which is stake conference and so we had to explain that it will not always be like it what it is for Stake Conference but that she is welcome. We have a church tour with her on Tuesday! We then did service for a member and painted the bathroom. So glad that mom has had me help with my the house projects.

On Thursday we had a crazy start we helped at the Bishops Storehouse and we got new carts and lots of volunteers. It normally takes us about four hours to get through everyone and then another 30 to clean up. We finished everything in 2 1/2 hours!!!! The Stake Relief Society president was screaming and so happy. We were all invited back in 2 weeks! :) We got back and Sister Behrmann got sick and so we got some phone calls made and set up appointments and started weekly planning. Tonight was the 3rd Thursday visit on the 4th Thursday. We saw two less-active families with sister Powers from the ward council. One family conversion story was amazing they at the time had just gotten to america from the Congo and didn't speak English the best and saw a commercial on the video The Lamb of God and called the number and two sister missionaries came and then they were baptized 6 months later. It was amazing and really annoying to see such a great powerful story for someone who didn't understand English at the time and then was able to still be converted by the spirit and is now less-active. Thankfully the younger grand daughters want to come to church and tried to convince her mom to go. After them we saw another family. Who had just text ed that morning. She never replied, but when we got their she just opened the door and let us in. We sat down and she told us that she knew we were coming. She had been not coming to church because of her schedule. she has been in grad school and is graduating on May 9! She said that she knew we would came because her schedule was starting o get slower and that God would show her what she needed to do next. She told us her testimony about knowing that God has a plan for all of us and he has shown her hers. She will be coming back to church after mothers day and ready to help her 7 year old daughter prepare for baptism. It was amazing night and we could feel the spirit so strongly in her home. Happy Birthday Cameren on Thursday!

We got to do service for an older sister and help in her yard on Friday and on Saturday we helped a pregant sister do some house cleaning for things she hasn't been able to reach and get to and her husband just had surgery and got home the night before. We were glad to help both.

I have loved doing service for the people in our ward and to see the stress and hard  time they are going through and to be there to help them and see them just relax a little. That is why it is so much fun we see the love we receive for them and see them able to improve. I was able to help a family return to church and help am family who has had a hard time with being 9 months pregnant and having a husband who just had surgery and trying to still take care of 2 young girls and a house. It is great to know that when we serve our brothers and sisters our love for them grows, and we are really and truly serving our Father in Heaven.

This is my letter this week and hope all is well for you and your families. Remember we are all family and we want to help others. Allow others to serve you and you to serve them. Happy Birthday to Brenden who turns 17 today! Love you all and hope to hear from you next week!!!!!

Hey Y'all,

What a week and it felt like it would never end. So much happening the next couple of weeks.

On Monday we saw a bed ridden sister on her birthday and she is so sweet! I still have my RMHCS mind set in me and love all the elderly. We had dinner with an amazing family and invited a Less- active sister to their house for Family Home Evening. I got to try Gritz for the first time and i have to say they taste funny but with some bacon bits, sausage, cheese, and butter it is pretty good. We talked about the plan Of Salvation and used Sister Behrmann plastic cute cut-outs (which i have been thinking about making). They kids were so sweet and really knew a lot. The Less active sister said that she was baptized because of our church principle of families being eternal. She loved it and said she would love to do this again. This ward is so great and really missionary minded. Again i say that i am spoiled serving in this ward which such great people.

On Tuesday we had a crazy day our morning appointment canceled right as we drove up their driveway and found out that the wife wasn't home yet. We went home so the elders could use the car and got picked up from a member from Fayetteville who wanted to have lunch with us. (Sister Behrmann served there). We had Cook out and know i have really tasted the amazing hush puppies and i plan to make it for the rest of my life just need to find as recipe. Why does the unhealthy fried food have to taste so good?!!! After lunch we went over to a members new apartment and helped them unpack. One of them had moved from a bad place and a sister in the ward asked her to ,move in with her and they are complete opposites but they are so sweet and it looks like it will be a great fit. We had dinner with the family i think i talked about before who had 12 kids and tonight they had some grand kids for the day and they are so sweet. They have 34 almost 35 and they are such great grandparents. We talked about what they want to apply from conference.

On Wednesday we had district meeting and my goodness i was on fire. We were having discussions and i just had so much to share. Normally i am to shy or have the idea of my ideas aren't good enough because i have only been here for 4 months. We had accounting and when everyone asked for questions for who they were seeking revelation for i just had so many ideas and it felt amazing. I can see how much i am learning and really enjoying serving the Lord here in the Garner District. I can't say any good things about the role plays but at least we got what we needed today for our person we were seeking revelation for. After District meeting we drove the sisters home and i stayed with one of them and sister Behrmann stayed in our area. I am really loving exchanges. This time though we didn't have much to do. We had lots of cancellations and only got to do some service for a thrift store. I used this time to talk with my sister training leader and told her all that i have been doubting and just everything that has been making the last 3 months seem impossible. It was great to receive some advice from her and to know that i am doing what i am needed to do and that i am just allowing Satan to put in my head. Eventually i will get to the point that i can move him away and not feel so miserable most of the time.

On Thursday we exchanged back had lunch with a member and had Wendy's. We tried to stop by one of her visiting teaching people but again she wasn't home. Then we just went home and did weekly planning.

On Friday we had a very busy day and got picked up by the young women's president and went to visit a new family that moved in a month ago and who hasn't been to church for awhile. When we showed up they were outside gardening and so we just talked and walked around with them. It was a great visit. We came home and finished the last bit of weekly planning. we left and visited a sister who has had back problems and makes it hard for her to come to church. Today was a miracle i was able to listen enough and use her needs and find a scripture that could help her and we read in 3 Nephi about Christ visiting the Nephites after his Resurrection. We could feel that spirit so strong. We prayed with her. we saw a family that lives in our complex and the daughter has finally gotten home since she has send in a group home. We got to see her and visit and find out that she is leaving again on Wednesday to a new group home to stay for awhile. We are making her cards and writing letters today for her! :(.

On Sunday church was awesome. I love going to church and now i really can see the importance. The Sacrament is truly our saving grace from the past week. I was able to read from the prayers and read from the Book of Mormon. I have tried to focus more on the Savior during the sacrament. It has changed my way of thinking for the need of the Atonement. In Gospel Principles we talked about Christ life and it was great the spirit was definitely present and lots of testimonies shared. In Relief Society we talked about The First vision and it changed my idea of Joseph Smith. When we teach it. it is first because if they believe he was a prophet they can believe in the Book of Mormon. They can believe in Christ and the Plan of Salvation. It really all connects. Today we didn't have our missionary meeting ans so i convinced Sister Behrmann to let me go sing with the Choir. Amazingly they are singing a song by Sally Deford and it was great thinking about her and not to much homesickness! :) We had our visit with our new investigator who has been sick and see told us that she believes that their is a prophet today because God had them in the past and it makes since. She said that she woulds love to learn more about the priesthood. we were going to ask her about baptism but we both said later that it didn't feel right and that she was starting to fall asleep! We will next time and have it part of the lesson.

So this is my week! love you all and have a great week! Happy birthday to the best 14 year old ever. Cameren congrats on becoming a Teacher! Love you Buddy!

The Lord's Time Is The Best Time!

Hey Y'all,

This week has been another great and amazing week. Lots of up and downs and in betweens. Literally, I am so glad to be here and even though i am starting hate the humidity and really feel it. I enjoy North Carolina and love serving here.

Monday, We got all of our shopping and things we needed to get done for the week. We didn't get to see an investigator because her daughter was in the hospital. We are trying to see her this week though and commit her to baptism.

Tuesday, was sadly a very bad day for us. We had no motivation and lots of cancels. We both were exhausted and didn't know what to do. We spent most of the day in the apartment trying to decide what to do. Everything we planned to do feel through. We kind of just crashed and burned. We instead created goals for the transfer and things we wanted to be focusing on. It gave us some motivation and things to work towards, but it was just a bad day. We did get a call from a sister in the ward who needed some guidance in the right direction. She is having some health issues and is in school full time and working. We gave her some scriptures and told her to keep praying and that we will be praying for her. That call made me feel so much better.

We made sure to work harder on Wednesday. I finally got to have a day to ride my bike. I love the basket on my bike which makes it nice not having to carry my bag! (Thanks mom). I was a little prideful when it came to Sister Behrmann having a hard time riding and i was so ready to take the next hill. It was amazing. We visited a potential investigator who said she was fine where she was at said that her neighbor may be interested. (more about that later). We visited a less active member. She finally opened to us and told us what she has been worried about. Her husband has been creating contention and wants to go back to being an authist and shutting God out completely. She has a strong testimony and knows the church and loves being a member. She stopped coming to not create problems at home. She says its not fixing anything. We told her about General Conference and told her that it was all about families and invited her to watch or read the talks that were based on the family. She asked for guidance from Heavenly Father and wants to know what to do next. We said that she just needs to keep being an example to him and to her kids and keep going to church. We saw her AND her husband on Sunday at church.

Friday was the biggest day and the most amazing experiences. We planned to contact the neighbor of our investigator who dropped us. We didn't feel like we should go out so early and finish studies and set up appointments and have lunch and then go out and contact her. I am so glad we did because when we got their the neighbor wasn't home but as we were about to leave a lady at the bottom of the stairs looked so tired and so exhausted, really she looked terrible. She had a basket and was sitting down at the bottom of the stairs and she was such so sad. We asked her if we could help her and she was so surprised. She let us help her and invited us into her house (she is the referrals neighbor). We stood in the door way and sat down and talked. She sat in her chair for awhile and told us that she had been raped and just now getting home from the hospital. I was shocked! All i could think of was! "Lady we just met you and your telling us this. We are complete strangers." We had a visit and talked about Christ and told her that with everything that she is going through Christ can help her and all she has to do is have faith and pray. She was so glad to hear that and wants us to come back again. She is Catholic and loves the Savior. She even told us that she has read the Book of Mormon. She just never prayed to know if it was true. She said it was just a great book of scripture. That is true but it can mean so much more!!!! We have a appointment to see her this Thursday!

I am again running out of time! I wanted to that the time things happen and how things happened for us was in the Lord's time. We never would have met the her on Thursday if we hadn't decided to change our plans and go see the referral earlier. The Lord knew she needed us their and at that time. My faith in the Spirit has grown from this week and cant't wait to see what this week will bring. I am so excited to visit her again and teach her about the Book of Mormon and continue helping her. This journey in serving a mission is hard, but i am so grateful for the experiences that i am having. They overpower the bad and doubtful days! I am learning so much and seeing new things. I am being impatient with myself but i know that the Lord is on my side and all i have to do is try! Have a great week!
