okay so this week was super fun! Monday,
we practiced for our zone's musical number for zone conference on Tuesday.
Then Tuesday we spent pretty much
all day in zone conference. It was wonderful! they played a talk from elder
Bednar and he talked about how Heavenly Father doesn't expect us to be perfect
but He does expect us to be clean. I liked that distinction. also, President
pulled me out for my final interview with him!!!!!! I was so surprised! I mean
I knew that it was coming but I didnt think it would be that day but SURPRISE!
He talked about the importance of education and temple attendance and what to
look for in a spouse and all of that jazz.
So our zone did the musical number
and we really did a MUSICAL! we did a meddly of "I hope they call me on a
mission", "called to serve Him" and I'll go where you want me to
go". with the storyline of a young boy preparing to go on his mission,
then the day he opened his call, to the time he had to pray about it to really
resolve that he would go where ever the Lord wanted Him to go. then on to when
he met his trainer and learned how to tract. it was super fun and we got it all
on film so I'll show you in a few weeks:) ( weird to say that) Then at the end of zone
conference I gave my departing testimony with two other sisters. and then
another SURPRISE they started playing "Aloha Oi" on the piano and
everyone sang to us....... man I knew that these things happened but I guess I
just totally forgot! It was so crazy….yeah, I creid . I still can't believe I'm almost pau. ( Pau = finished
or done)
Wednesday one of the elders was sick
so we tried to cover our appointments and theirs....so that was pretty busy!
Thursday, we helped a lady in our
ward to can a bunch of jam. it was super fun!
Friday, was a SUPER SPECIAL
day!!!!!!!!!!!! But not much I can
really share…just know that somedays the spirit is so strong you want to
explode!
Saturday we had a neat experience.
We only had a few minutes to go tracting before our next visit, so we could
have just gone early but we decided to go and tract a few houses. we didn’t
know what street to tract so we drove around for a bit then found one and
turned back around to get to it. we picked three not super scary looking houses
and the first one we went to we got invited in and we taught a lesson and we
are going back this week for another appointment. super cool!! Some people want
to hear about the Gospel of Jesus Christ and they are just waiting for us…
Sunday was busy. well that's just
life I suppose:) but we are practicing a song for the musical fireside and it's
a super great song. we are all excited.
Love you family!!!
Love, Sister Hodgson
