So life here in Chico is better than ever, we had a great
week full of talking to people and living the mission lyfe.
Allow me to share some of the highlights.
This week we decided to take some chalk and write nice
messages on a sidewalk at a park. It was actually really fun, we drew the plan
of salvation, and just talked to people who walked by. We gots lots of
compliments, and what was really cool was that we ended up meeting our next
door neighbor at the park. He recognized us and we talked for a while. We're
gonna make him cookies and pretend they were left over from a party so it's
less weird.
We taught about 12 lessons this week which is one of the
highest numbers I've had in a long time. Shoot dang. We saw a ton of people.
We did a ton of service too. So here's a story I'm probably
never going to forget: we get a call from our stake president telling us this
nonmember family is moving in to our ward and they need missionaries to help
unpack. Ok, we can do that. I call some elders and we go over the next day to
help this family unpack. Literally four hours later after we help them out and
switch contact info, the mom if the family calls us and says they are being
kicked out and they have to go to Arizona. Oh yeah, so they had just spent 3
days traveling to California from Arkansas. So we call even more elders and go
back the next day to help them pack up and move. The whole time the family was
super emotional and they kept telling us how kind we were and how as soon as
they got to Arizona they are going to look up the lds church and go. Well I
hope they get baptized. So that's just one example of how quickly things change
when you're a missionary. We are so heavily involved in people's lives, and
then in two seconds they're gone. Ok.
Cool.
I learned how to split wood this week, there's a member
who owns a firewood business and asks the missionaries to come help him split
woods every other week. He has this GIANT log splitter and it's awesome to see
it totally crush huge tree stumps.
Also, it poured rain this week. Praise.
What else happened? Oh yeah, we had another zone meeting
this week.
Our topic for this month's training is Joseph smith and
the restoration. We all went into separate rooms with just our companions and
we recited the first vision to eachother. That is so powerful. I know that
Joseph smith truly saw god the father and his son Jesus Christ. Without him,
there would be no gospel. We would not be here, and the world would be an even
more miserable place.
I also went on exchanges this week, that was fun. I went
with sister Sorensen and I took over the area. I only got lost once, freak
yeah.
I'm doing great.
I am myself. I like myself. I don't change for anyone or
anything. I like who I am and god does too. My mission is turning me into what
I'm supposed to be.
I love you all.
Stay sweet.
Love,
Sister Ginn
