This week has been FULL of Mary Poppins!!! hahhha
1. We called a member the other day (some of you MIGHT know him, his name is M..... hahahah he's a riot....) and I left a message in a, as the English call it, "Dick Van Dyke accent...." Dick Van Dyke is supposedly the worse English accent to ever walk the earth..... And it's true!!! He sounds NOTHING like them..... hahahahhahahah I know he is trying to pull off a Londoner accent but he is honestly WAYYY off.... hahah Sorry Mr. Disney.... hahahhah :)
2. The other day, Grannie A., the EIGHTY year old woman we live with was helping Sister Y with her English by making her say, "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!!!" hahahhahahhahah!! Funniest thing ever!!!!
3. We went to Windsor Freaking Castle last week for Pday.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And guess what.... We were there the same day as the queen was!!!!!!!!! But, alas, I did not get a picture with her... Cause she left literally RIGHT before we got there...... dang it.... But anyways... It hit me that I am in Mary Poppins land!!!!!!! It's nothing at all like the Mary Poppins movie but hey, I'm still here right!??!
Well, this week has been fantastic.......
We had zone conference on Friday and Elder Adler from the Chorum of the Seventy came and spoke to us!!!! how blessed are we1?!?!??!
Just some things from my journal that I learned:
"You are entitled to blessings as long as you prepare fro them."
"Don't be number monkeys."
"You don't ask for referrals. You don't beg for them. you don't plead for them. you don't nag for them. You EARN them."
"Start a conversation, instead of, "Hi, we're missionaries and we are sharing a message about...."
"We're not Jehova's Witnesses... We're happier than they are."
"Try to teach them something different."
"I'm sorry I'm a little scattered today, but this is what the Spirit wants me to say."
"Idleness is the Devil's time. Idleness is destructive."
"We thank Thee, Heavenly Father, for the labors of the day that occupy our time."
"We do not stop finding. Nothing happens in missionary work until we find someone to teach."
"In teaching others, you teach yourself."
"You're here to find people. And you want to prepare them for baptism.... But, you want to see them kneeling in the temple."
"You have stood on the water. You have taken a step towards Christ. But, like Peter, we still drown... Remember what it felt like to stand. Remember what it felt like to walk towards Christ."
"When they reject you, forgive them. For they know not what they do."
"Give yourself to your calling. Focus on your mission. When you do this, He will mold you, carve you, and seal you up to be more than you were before."
"We are not here because of who we are, but we are here because of who we can become."
"Missionary work should begin and end with our minds focused on the blessings of the temple."
"What would've happened if I had given up?"
"It really strengthened my relationship with my Heavenly Father because He was there the entire time.
This week has been great!!!!!!
M is one of our new investigators!!!!!!
SHE'S FROM.....
ROMANIA!!!!!!
Everyone cool is just from Romania!!! hahahhahahha
We had a cool conversation about religion and how she is looking for a religion that doesn't force.. hmmm... who would that be?? "We're not the Jehova's Witnesses. We're happier than they are..." hahahhah!!!!!
She told us that she HOPES that there is a God. <3 She HOPES!!!!
That is music to my ears!!!!!!!!!!
We also had something a little disheartening happen.....
G asked us to cancel the baptism.... :(
BUT, not for good!!!!
He still wants to be baptized he just isn't ready... And that's okay!!!
Because remember? We do not force. We invite. <3
But, I know the blessings will come as we faithfully respond to Heavenly Father's call to find. <3
I want to share my favorite hymn... Most people should know this....
"There is Sunshine in my Soul Today"
My FAVORITE line is:
"And Jesus listening can hear the song I cannot sing."
"He sees weaknesses different than rebellion."
-Richard G. Scott. <3
Because we ALL have weaknesses!!! And Heavenly Father loves us for it!! Because He gave them to us!!! But, He doesn't like rebellion because that is when we are leaning a little more towards Satan. ..
But Heavenly Father loves us for our strengths AND weaknesses.... <3
We all have a weakness that keeps us from singing the song of righteousness.....
And that is why the Atonement is needed. So at the end of the day, we can ALL sing the song of righteousness... <3
IL OVE YOU ALLL!!!!!! HAVE A GREAT WEEK!!!!!!
Love, Sister AllyBoBally
