What a week!! So good/sad/all other emotions. haha Its amazing the different emotions you can feel during one week of your mission. I GOT YOU PACKAGE!! Horrah for packages :) It made me so so so so so so so so happy!! Thank you everryone so much!
We had an awesome adventure this week of trying to find Carmelles home. We might have been lost... haha BUT we found her apartment.. BUT she wasnt home so we heart attacked her door and she contacted us again! YAY!
We went to sheharas home this week. It was good! Her 80 year old grandma is in love with me. She kissed my hand for a good minute and said was an angel :) It was so cute! haha I gave the workshop at ZTM this week. It was about enduring to the end. I think it went well. It didnt go at all as planned but hopefully I said something good.
Sister Hererra got her visa this week :( (for me) :) (for her) haha Im going to miss her so much! She was my angel her in Jamaica. But I know that these next three weeks with Sister Gonzalez are going to be amazing. I know it.
We taught a lady named Angela this week. It was amazing. The spirit was so strong. SHe is really sad but I know that the Gospel will bring her the happiness that she needs.
I had a President interview this week. It was amazing. I know why I am here in Jamaica, NY. I can do what the Lord needs me to do. For now this is where the Lord called me. We are called as missionaries and only assigned to areas.
I did exchanges with Sister Chipman this week. It was such a good day! I learned so much from her! We went and saw a lady named Millicent. She is 87 and Im pretty sure she is not all there. She was so sweet though! She blessed my me and my children and their children and their children because we gave her a BOM. She started crying because she was so happy. She is in a care center and is so loving. She kept on squeezing my arms and saying "Eat more! You look so young!" haha
Its been a hot week. We had to take our air condition unit out. So basically we are on the top floor with no air condition dying... lol its fun though!!! We had a water fight! hahaha
I have learned a lot this week. On thing I have learned is that Obedience should always be done with an obedient heart or you will never change. I read an awesome talk called the fourth missionary. Here are some quotes :)
"Every challenge you face, every hard thing you confront, every bad thing that happenes to you, every unfairness, every conflict, every sadness, tragedy, every disappointment and heartache, every temptation and every opposition happens for one purpose: to give you opportunity to repond by applying in your life the teachings of Jesus. As you do you are changed to become like Him"
Something cool that he said is That you make who you are and only you can change you.
I am so happy :) I want to be who the Lord wants me to be!
I love you guys so so much! Stay strong and know God loves you!
Love Sister Powell
