This past week had plenty of opportunities to polish me as a person. There has been a lot of opposition, which meant a lot of time to be on my knees and ask for strength.
We had a goal of 15 IOs per day. We got 75/105 IOs. It was the highest that has ever been achieved since the IOs started.
We tracted, and we tried to 'plant seeds,' and we also had moments where we needed to take some down time because of what has been going on.
Also! We have Spanish Sisters in our ward now! They are amazing, and I know they will find some Spanish people to teach!
I received one of the most vilest of letters I have ever received in my life from someone who lives within the mission boundaries. I talked to my mission President about it, and he gave me some great council on how to best take, and respond to it. A good thing about this trial is that I have seen the power of the Atonement help make my burden light, to the point where I cannot feel the burden on my shoulders.
-We also had exchanges and I learned so much from Sister Brewer. When a woman yelled at us and told us that she doesn't want anything from Jehovah's Witnesses or anybody, Sister Brewer exclaimed after the fact that she must be a great singer because of how well her voice projected.
-Tuesday is Zone Conference, and we are going to get our cars inspected, and the black box installed. This black box will let us know if we are carelessly driving, speeding, or if we are out of our mission boundaries.
Anyways! It has been a great Preparation Day so far!
-Oh - another thing - I haven't mentioned this before, but many people are surprised that I already have a Wedding Date of December 5th, for the Seattle, WA Temple (10:30 AM). I won't have much time to plan, but with the Lord's help, I'll certainly pull it off!
Have a blessed day, everyone!
-Sister A. Marshall
