Hello everyone! It's about to be a long email, but I promise it will be 150,000% worth the read. First off my transfer details! I am going to the Rancho ward and I am so excited! I will be with Sister Hunter who has been my STL for the past 3 transfers and I will be an STL with her!! We are also social media stake leads over the Las Vegas Stake Facebook page. Ahhh!!! It's a lot of new things on my plate, but I am so ready to be busy. There is never a dull moment with Sister Hunter and I am so ready to be a part of that. Other amazing news and lots of spiritual experiences are in store, so stay tuned at least until Saturday! (Which was one of the best days of my whole mission).
Monday: Pday was so fun! We had our dinner cancel last minute, but we got to go to the Larsen's and man oh man, that was so fun! We did dessert and an awesome message. I love that family and I am so excited to see them grow more and more.
Tuesday: Today we had a blast at our district council meetings and then went to the store on special assignment with our roommates to buy things for the biggest cookie baking party you've ever seen. We had to make cookies for seminary come and see day! More about that tomorrow. But, we made the cutest thumbprint cookies with our 6 different kinds of random jam and they looked amazing! After the great Vegas baking show we headed to dinner at the Dudley's home and then rushed to mutual! While at the Dudley home Sister Lusk learned she loves milk in her ice-cream and will never go back. Shout out to all my crazy family members that do that...... Mutual was a blast! We played minute to win it games with the girls and we could not have had more fun. All in all the most fantastic day.
Wednesday: Today we didn't have a lot in the morning so we cracked out all our studies first. Then, we headed to a slightly awkward meeting with some inactive members and played Gospel of Jesus Christ Uno. We ended the night with an amazing and super productive Chickfila dinner with our Relief Society President. So basically God knows me so well that this whole week he has been sending little tender mercies my way, and one of them was getting taken to Chickfila for dinner. I know God knows you each individually and that he wants to bless your life as much as you will let him. I promise as you open your eyes to his grace, you will see miracles in your life.
Thursday: Ok so this day had so much sitting, but, we had so many fun productive things to do. First we had Spanish lessons with Sister Adam's and that is always a blast. She had us read to her and yikes..... we passed off from kindergarten to 4th grade though, so progress!! After that we headed out to our apartment and went on a virtual tour of Liberty jail! Another tender mercy for me, because that's right where I live! The spirit was so strong and I loved seeing the virtual version of the tour. Finally we did weekly planning together in Spanish! Who would have thought we could do rather?! Not me, but we did it, twice in a row now. Another tender mercy was seeing our board completely full of things to do and knowing if I stayed, I would be busy! We ended the night with a late dinner at the Hunt's house and headed back to our apartment and crashed.
Friday: Today was jam packed with lesson goodness. We started off our day with studies and HiFit at the stake center. Then we went and helped Linda Ence unpack, move some furniture, and organize her pantry. She was so grateful and we have loved getting to know her. After that we headed out to the Hisamoto's house for ice cream and a chat. They were so cute and we had an amazing gospel discussion with them. Next, we rushed to the Madsen's house for dinner and ate with them and the Adam's family. It was so fun and we really got to know them both better. We ended the night with some Spanish studies and crashed yet again!
Saturday: Ok basically one of the best days of my whole mission. Friday night at like 9:30 we got a text saying Josiah was going to do baptisms at the temple and he wanted Sister McBride and I to go! So, we arranged for a ride, and got to go do baptisms at the temple with Josiah! I am so over the moon proud of him. Alma had it right when he said there is truly no greater joy than this. Seeing Josiah come closer to Jesus Christ has been an amazing journey. He was the first lesson I ever taught in my mission, and now look at where he is and who he is becoming. Plus bonus, Sister McBride and I got to be companions for the day! Woo! I got to catch up with her and I really needed that tender mercy! God really is looking out for all of his children.
Sunday: OH my goodness Sunday was crazy! Just another tender mercy for you guys, Nearer my God to thee was the closing song in sacrament today! Also, when we walked into church we noticed a lady sitting with the Godfrey family, so, we walked up and turns out she was just looking for a church and walked on in! She is super sweet and I know Sister Lusk will be a great teaching her! We did a lot of studies and packing and then ended the night with a awesome dinner at the Godfrey's house. Everyone was so kind and leaving church today was so sad!!
Monday: Today was just a ton of people who we needed to say goodbye to! We packed, prepped Sister Lusk to train, and had a best last day together :)
I just want you all to know I love you. Life gets hard sometimes, but I know, that God will always pull through. He did for me this week. I have seen so many blessings and I can not wait to see what this next transfer holds!
All my love,
Sister Sellers
