ok this week was awesome! its still raining and still flooding! biking is the funnest. pretty sure when i get back to america, ill be a biking professional:)
probably the best part of this week was when all the sisters in the mission got together and watched womens conference. i am so amazed at the wonderful talks. women are truly so important in gods work. also, how good was sis eubank's talk? SO GOOD.let us continue to invite more and more women to link arms and stand for truth together. also, we started an annual womens conf activity, which i hope will continue to be as amazing as it was this last week. we received a lot of training from the senior couples and our mission president. and ate delicious food:) also im STOKED for general conf this upcoming weekend. i know it is truly from god.
we had a wonderful experience this week in eng class! every week we teach english on wed nights and sat mornings, and we always give a spiritual thought after (to hopefully contact people that want to learn). eng class is usually a super great place to get inv because these are the people that are voluntarily coming after long days of work, that are tired, and often have kids, but want to improve their life, so they are willing to sacrifice to learn. and these are the exact people that want to learn about christ. but for whatever reason, this last transfer, it has felt like our pretty steady stream of inv from eng class dwindled and kinda died. it felt that our spiritual thoughts werent having an effect of these students, and it was pretty discouraging! but this week, when we asked someone to give a closing prayer, this ming that comes every week, doesnt talk, and has never wanted to learn before, volunteered. and she gave the most beautiful prayer! so it was just a reminder that the effort we put in to eng class truly matters, and to not give up, because even if someone didnt used to want to learn, it doesnt mean they dont want to learn now!
keep studying your scriptures every day!
love sis smith
