first things first: HAPPY BIRTHDAY LILY! 8 years old!? what happened!? how crazy! you´re getting so big! are you getting excited for your baptism?!
this was the fastest week of my life. i cannot believe it! and i´m pretty sure it´s just gonna get faster from here!
a couple weeks ago hermana meacham and i had this crazy goal to talk to every single person we passed. literally everyone. the first day we started we did pretty good and we did a TON of contacts...and one of those contacts was a guy we talked to that had just walked out of his house. he told us to come back another day...so we did. he lives with his wife, gloria. they are pretty awesome and we are really excited to teach them and help them to come unto christ. i know God prepares people...we just have to open our mouths.
other than them we are kinda struggling with people to teach. i know that this sector has so much potential and there are people waiting for our message...we just have to find them. so we´ve been trying to think of ways to find new people. ideas? we started a english class so we will see how that goes!
at byui someone told us "if we work our missions hard, they will be easy. but if we work our missions easy, they will be hard". i know it´s important to work hard, but i think there is more to it than that. i know that this work cannot be easy. it´s not supposed to be. even though sometimes i wish i could make people understand our message and make them come to church and read the BOM, i´m actually grateful that people have their agency to choose if they want to act or not. it´s my job to put it all on the table. so hermana meacham and i have been thinking about what we could do to be better missionaries. one thing i love about being companions with hermana meacham is that we always have TONS of goals. and we are always working towards being better. so we´ve decided to do a purification process...basically we´ve made a list of all the things we are doing that are driving the spirit away and we´ve commited ourselves to stop doing those things. i´m super excited.
anyways, i cannot believe it´s already december! i´m so dang excited for christmas!! thanks for everything! i hope you all have a great week!
love, hermana steele
