So this week was exciting! Last Monday, we got a call from a member
who said that she had a friend who wanted to meet with the missionaries. So we
went to go and meet with her and she is the sweetest thing ever!!!!! She is just
darling. She is married to a member of the church, so she already knows a lot.
She asks great questions and I feel like every time we meet is just a party! She
is like Glinda from wicked. I love her.
We also met a guy named Dave while we were walking on the street and he
seemed interested in our message. A few days later, we were trying to get back
in touch with him and we were
driving down the street and we were like "is that Dave!??!!" Awesome!!!!!! so we
started meeting with him:) he loves the gospel! but he is a young single adult
so we have the zone leaders who teach the young single adults working with him. The
zone leaders said he came to church and loved it. We are so happy for him.
So we have been tracting a lot this week....and I have thought a little bit
about why we do what we do. I would Never Ever be a door to door sales lady! I
would just not like it at all.....but for some reason, I love going door to door
to share about the gospel! So what is that reason? the reason is that everyone
deserves to have this joy! This gospel has brought me so much happiness in my
life! And I want to share that with everyone!!!!
Weird crazy things have happened too: I love spicy stuff now.........I
don't know what happened but it's crazy!! I used to not even like barbeque sauce
but now I am eating Hawaiian chili peppers.....It's super funny.
One day this week we came home at the the end of a crazy busy day and while
sister oh was taking a shower, I lied down on my bed and then.......I woke up
and it was 5:30 in the morning....haha I was still in my clothes and had my name
tag on! so I got into my pajamas and slept the last hour on the night.
haha.
We have been so busy lately. We haven't had time for many lunch breaks so
we are eating a lot of nuts and oranges and granola bars in the car. but we are
having so much fun! Heavenly Father is giving us all of the strength that we
need.
The military guys here know us so well! They just see us and they're like
"oh it's you guys. you're good" they don't even look at our id sometimes!
Sister Oh and I made a transfer theme. It's from James 2:17:"Even so faith,
if it hath not works, is dead " so we made our theme "faith with
works is alive!" alive and real- our goals came become a reality if we have
faith and do all that we can do to achieve them. ( mommy note they have been asked to do a mission training on the way they have organized things and what they are doing as a companionship) We have seen that promise
fulfilled day after day. The Lord has more blessings in store for us than we
even sometimes believe. When we have faith and work hard, He will show us what
our potential is. He knows the kind of people that He wants us to be. We can
come up with an idea of who we think we should be.....but we will surely fall
short of our potential. If we turn our lives over to Him, He will make more out
of us than we could ever make of ourselves.
I love you all, I love this work, I love this gospel
Love,
-Sister Hodgson
