Hey guys! Yes I am calling you guys because that is what you are. Not Elders and Sisters. Sometimes I miss using that phrase, but then other times I think "I should probably be more grown up anyway." Just so you know and to follow up on my goals. I am failing at more dignified language. One of these days I will be better.
Uh oh, this one is going to be short. Dang it! I have a lot to say today!
This week felt really fast but looking back on it I feel like transfers were a long time ago! I'm not even sure what happened this week.
We found a less active this week. We were knocking in a neighborhood and a young man opened the door. We were able to talk to him for a little bit and he told us that he was baptized by his uncle when he was younger. He then told us that religion didn't interest him but that maybe in the future he would see a need for it. I am determined to get him to see the importance of it right now. Especially since he is college age. That is when I needed religion the most. Sadly though, he is YSA so we referred him to the Elders and we are hoping that they can get in contact with him.
We were also able to teach Millie a couple of times this week. We went over and did some service for her and then read some of the Book of Mormon. She has been staying strong which is great and now she is planning on going to the temple with the ward to start doing baptisms for her family names! She won't be able to do the baptizing part but she wants to do the confirmations after so that will be a neat experience for her. I wish we could go with her and be there for her first time in the temple. I also just really want to go to the temple. I have been dying to have a companion with a birthday but no such luck yet. One of these days I will be able to go.
We were also able to meet with Madelene this week. She is doing well and is excited for her baptism! She is still working toward the 6th of September and is coming to church each week, even when she doesn't feel well. I love watching people make church a priority.
Ok, one other update. We taught a PM/LA family this week and we have really been working on getting the wife more active and the husband more interested. We committed them to read and pray together each night last week. When we went on Saturday Sister Vudmaska says "You girls are going to be so proud, we have been reading every day. Sometimes we get really tired though, so we only read a few paragraphs each night." I was so happy to hear that! They are doing more than a lot of members! They also told us that Brother Vudmaska was the one to remind Sister Vudmaska that they forgot to pray one night so they knelt down together and said their prayers together. Brother Vudmaska is going to get baptized. We will hopefully be committing him to baptism tonight!

Also a few weeks ago we ate Lavender ice cream. It was interesting! Not bad, but it reminded me of the essential oils haha. That was for Kayla Hi Kayla! (No not you Mikayla, a Kayla out here in T.O. :)
This week in RS we talked about eternal families and something that I have been studying this week was the millennium. I made a realization and then the teacher yesterday said the same thing. We are in eternity now! Our time on earth is included in eternity. It isn't just something that is going to start when we leave this earth life. I knew this already but I didn't really realize that until this week. So there you go. Love learning knew things each day! Having study time is the best thing ever! I wish we could just study all day every day.
Anyway, my time is up! I hope you all have a great week! Love you!
