So the library kicks us off every 30 minutes if there are a lot of people in the library. So it is super busy today and I am now just borrowing my companion's computer time. I felt bad for not saying any thing about my week. So I thought I would hurry and let you guys know how my week went.
We had the BEST week ever!!! We went on our last exchanges this week so this week we are going to power it out and get as much done as possible. I'm sad that this is probally my last week with sister Bennett because it's the last week of the transfer! Our mission president told us that he was going to call more sister leader trainers so that means sister bennett and I are probablly going to be separated because we need to train the new sister leader trainers. CAN YOU BELEIVE HOW FAST THE TRANSFER WENT??? I feel like this has been the fastest transfer I have had! It's crazy!
Oh before I forget I wanted to tell you the super amazing experiance I had at zone confrence! So we had Elder and sister Baxter come! Elder Baxter is in the 1st quorm of the seventy. Elder Baxter is from scotland and sister baxter is from england! They were SO AWESOME!! They gave us trainings and they were super bold and straight forward with us. Which is what we need! So elder BAxter was doing role plays with us. Where us missionaries pretend to teach him something or invite him to do something. Yeah, you will never guess who he called up to invite him to read the book of mormon in front of our mission president and all 100 missionaires there at the confrence?? Yup.....he asked me..... Holy moly I was shaking in my boots!!!!! I'm pretty sure everyone could tell how nervous I was, but I didn't care. I put my heart and soul into that role play. I poured my heart out to elder baxter and invited him to read the book of mormon. Crazily enough he said Yes, he would read the book of mormon right away. I was a little taken back because I thought he would have me resolve a concern he has about the book of mormon. but he said yes right away. So then I bore my testimony of the book of mormon and promised him all of the blessings he would receive by reading it. Then when he stopped me he asked everyone there, "Why did I say yes?" Man I was dying inside because I didn't know for sure how elder Baxter felt about how I did. Two elders raised their hands and said that he basically said yes because he felt bad for me and didn't really have a desire to read it. I wanted to cry when they said that, but then elder baxter said, " I was compelled to say yes. Why is that?" Then a bunch of other missionaires raised their hands and all said that it was because of the spirit i brought and the humble testimony I bore. I was sweating bullets but elder BAxter agreed with them and he told me I did a perfect job! Wow, That was the craziest/best exeriance of my life! I really really needed that little boost of confidence because I have been really struggling to know if I have been teaching by the spirit or not. I know elder baxter was inspired to call me up because that experiance really helped me out with that alot!! Whew I'm glad it was over though and that I passed. Ok the time is REALLY running out this time. So just know that I love you all!! Keep being the best people ever!! Have a wonderful week!!
Love sister Jones
