This week has been the strangest week of my mission so far.
Hem
hem....big changes have occurred. Sister Mcmaster and I are back
together! Crazy!! We have both been called as sister trainer leaders. We
literally fainted when we heard, we couldn't believe it. Sister Moore
left for Basil (Ruth here. She didn't go to an herb, she went to Brazil! A COUNTRY! We love Lani!)today! She was so excited to go. I am extremely grateful
for her and the things she taught me. I needed her.
Lots of miracles this week! We went to church yesterday and I
got to speak about temples. The experience I shared is a memory I have
of my parents walking in the house Saturday morning, after they had gone
to the temple together. I got pretty emotional talking about it because
I realized why I loved that memory. I loved it because my parents
walked in laughing and holding hands! As a little girl I could feel how
in love they were and the spirit they brought home from the temple. I
talked about how I think they were more in love because they were
reminded at the temple that they are going to be an eternal family.
After sacrament meeting a young woman in the ward came up to
us and pointed to her friend and said, "This is brook, she wants to take
the lessons!" WHOOOO!! I was beyond excited! That has never happened to
me before and I know it was a miracle from Heavenly Father. Such a
blessing! I cannot wait to start teaching this lovely young lady.
Also, I had my first priesthood blessing yesterday since I
have been out on a mission. I have been so prideful thinking I can do it
without one, but a few days ago I realized that I really needed one.
Brother Zachary, the man we live with gave it to me. It was absolutely
beautiful and I really needed it. I know the priesthood is the power of
God and it is real. I could feel it as soon as he put his hands on my
head. Brother Zachary doesn't know me too well, but he said exactly what
I needed to hear.
I am so grateful for all I am learning. Seriously. Go on a
mission! Even though it is hard, boy is it worth it! You will never
regret it and you will gain the most precious gift, seeing and feeling
the atonement everyday.
I love you all and am praying for you!
