Here's another crazy week for you!
Last Monday was super crazy. Had a ton to get done in so little time. I had to jump on Facebook and change my profile picture so that was fun. Went shopping and stocked up. Got a trim for my hair. Got a package from my dad and letter from my grandma. Made me so happy. I love mail. Had our ward correlation meeting and then visited some less active families. It was a good day.
Tuesday was a good day. I had the scripture immersion for district council. I focused on ephesians 6:10-18 which talks about the armor of God. I love this and every morning I always imagine putting on the armor and preparing as if I'm going out to battle. Which I kind of am. Gotta save those souls! Our lesson canceled so we ended up doing a bunch of tracting down some streets I haven't been down. It was so good even if it was a bit cold. Picture 1 is of sister galvez and I bundled up. Had dinner with the rangels at their new house. They're remodeling a lot and it reminds me of when my family has remodeled. It was fun. We then went home and did some major updating on our area book after all the tracting we did.
Wednesday was an interesting day. We went out and tried to see so many people but kept hitting dead ends. We visited sister martindale and then came home for lunch. Sister galvez and I both weren't feeling good and crashed for a bit. Had dinner with the bishop and his wife which was good. Came home and did some cleaning for what we thought would be inspections.
Halloween! Such a crazy day. We went into town for our interviews with president. They went really well. I'm excited for the future. We then came back and helped the king's with moving. Went out to trailer and visited Jenny. Picture 2 is of mine and sister galvez's Halloween costumes kind of. I was dorothy and sister galvez was Aurther from the TV show. Had dinner at glenda's. Homemade chili. Yum. Was in early for the night to keep us safe and we did weekly planning. A lot of exciting things coming up.
AH! It's already November! That's so crazy! Crazy day. We were up and ready and then out the door so quick. We had to be at zone conference at 7:30. Bah. Zone conference was really good though. I took a lot of notes. 6 pages. I love our mission president. I love the focuses on improving ourselves and working to fine tune different points of our work. After zone conference we came home and walked the marina because it was so nice. Picture 3 is of me. The lighting was awesome so couldnt pass the chance to snag a picture. Picture 4 is of this cute dog we saw while visiting some less actives. His name is chewy.
Saturday the cold I've been fighting took full hold. This is the first time I've actually handled the cold okay. Rested most of the morning until our lesson with shelby. I'm extremely excited to announce that we put shelby on date for baptism! AH! November 30th! Were so excited and so is she! I love this work so much. We had dinner at kalens and then retired early so I could rest.
Sunday was another day of recovery. We made it to church though. Sister galvez and I both bore our testimonies. During the meeting one of the returning members were teaching bore his testimony and thanked us for bringing light into his life. I cried. I felt the spirit so strongly and I love these reminders of why I do this work. I love seeing all these people were teaching progressing and seeing the happiness that comes into their lives because of the gospel. We ended up coming home after sacrament because I wasn't feeling good and sister galvez got a bad migraine. I'm grateful we were able to take it easy. Had dinner with the Gerber family and then came home and rested.
This week was a lot of fighting a cold but even though I was physically down I felt the spirit so strongly. I love this work and all the miracles and blessings that come from it. I hope you all have the best week ever. Love you!
Love,
Sister Sydney Hanks ❤
