If any of you are as cool as I am hoping you are you will know that those are the lyrics to Jericho Road's song. Mom on exchanges this week one of the sisters had the true north CD so we were able to listen to those which was fun. It reminded me of when we went to their concert haha. They are so 90s!
Anyway, this week we had 3 of the investigators come to church which was super exciting! this lady Sandy was there and she is the cutest little old lady. She is so funny. When you talk to her it doesn't seem like she is progressing in the gospel at all and then you ask her a question and she totally is! So Saturday we invited her to come to church and we told her it was at 9. She got the funniest face that said "That is so early! I don't know if I can do that." She asked us to call her and wake her up. So we did. When we called she told us that that night she was asking herself if she was really going to go that day and then she was up at 6 am! She said to herself "Well, I guess I'm going!" haha.
We also sang again. We sang the EFY medley but used the lyrics that Janice Kapp Perry made for sister missionaries instead. It was pretty sweet! Got to love being a missionary and being able to be called as part of the army of Helaman! Best thing ever!
Ok random little tangent...that I am actually going to continue on for a second. If you haven't read the Book of Mormon, you need to do so. There is an army of 2000 young men who go out to fight for their freedom and religion and families and they have never fought before. However not a single one of them die when they go to battle. This is because of their faith in Christ and love for their leaders. As a missionary we are doing just what they did only in the spiritual sense. Satan is out there and we are there to help others overcome him and grow closer to the Savior. We are literally fighting for our religion and families. It gives me a lot of hope and strength being able to see them succeed and know that I can succeed as well. I have never been a missionary before this but as long as I trust in the Savior and keep His commandments I will be ok and I can and will be a successful missionary.
Well, things in Simi have been pretty good. Sister Arndt is going home next week and we are both kind of flipping out over it. I can't believe it is her time to go! I never thought this day would come. But it has. I don't really know what else to say on that. It is just a crazy concept right now.
I don't know what else to really talk about. Lots of miracles happened this week but I don't have time to type them all up. Most of them have to do with us singing in sacrament meeting but you will all hear about that later I guess. I love you all and hope you have a great week!
Sister Skeeter
ps transfers are next week so I would wait until we find out what is happening to send me anything.
