OUR TRAVEL PLANS WERE IN THERE. WHAT?! We basically freaked out and were
crying we were so happy. It was awesome. This whole "Mexico" thing is
really happening. AH. So after being SO excited about our plans, we had
to teach our investigator, Sara. We went in with a lesson plan, but once
we started talking to her, we knew we had to change. I showed her Alma
36:3, one of my favorites, and helped her to know that even though she
is going through so much, she is still loved and the Lord will always be
there for her. It was the most spiritual lesson we have had yet.
Afterwards, Hma. Captain (our investigator) said that she felt the
spirit so much and she knew that we were following the promptings of the
Lord. Well... if that's not a compliment, I don't know what is. SCORE.
This week has been so emotional. Between saying goodbye to our
teachers, finishing everything, starting our packing (mom you will be
proud.. my suitcases look AWESOME), cleaning the apartment, anything you
can think of. It's been weird. Tuesday night we had a devotional with
Quentin Cook. WHAT?! 3 apostles since we have arrived? That's unheard
of! So cool for us though!
Okay. So to tell you all about my knee:
I
couldn't really walk Saturday, Sunday, or Monday, So I had to go to Main
Campus and see a doctor. Low and behold, my IT band syndrome started
kicking up again. Just in a new spot. I was so frustrated. So they sent
me to physical therapy (they billed you... hope that was okay!!) The
therapist was way chill, gave me the same run down as usual. I'm pretty
used to it after 3 years. All is well though. I am still heading to
Mexico! Before the devotional, I totally slipped on ice and wrecked my
knee even more. All cut up and such. So the right side of my body is
kind of losing it. It's fine. Sort of.
Thank you SO much for the package! It was exactly
what I needed!!! My district loves the O'Henry bars, mom. Basically the
whole zone knows to come and ask me for treats. They think you're the
coolest mom ever. I agree, of course. :) Thank you for the tree!!! TOO
CUTE! Same with the stocking! The whole entire package was just PERFECT!
Don't you fret. I'm making room in my suitcases to take all of my food.
You know me... Hermana Hamilton + Food = a happy missionary. The thread
was helpful! I've been helping the elders sew EVERYTHING. Did I tell
you that last week? I'm the best dang pants hemmer this MTC has ever
seen. Literally. They look GOOD.
I love you all so much and I can't wait to hear from
you on Monday! I will be calling way early. My guess would be like
6:30. AHH! MEXICO!! Everyone be prepared to tell me quick stories!
I love you all so much and I'm so grateful to have such
an amazing family! This church is just TOO true. I have learned that God
knows me INDIVIDUALLY. He cares about me and what I'm going through.
How cool is that? I've learned that through the atonement, anything is
possible. Even when you feel like you'll never be able to speak to a
native, the Savior knows how you feel and can help. I've never felt the
spirit so strongly before. This is the Lord's work and I'm blessed to be
here and to have the opportunity to serve.
Hugs and Kisses! Talk to you all on Monday!
Hermana Lillian Fish-Fry
P.S. everyone loves my nicknames.. shortney, lillian, fish fry. It's a constant joke in our zone.
