Mission life is having things not go the way you planed. No matter how hard you try or how many backup plans you have, things are not going to go the way you expected. But if you're doing your best and listening to The Spirit things will go the way God has planned. And that's better then anything I could come up with on my own.
Most of this week we had Sister Leyba as our third companion. She's serving in the Fayetteville ward but her companion is coming home early, so we have her until transfers on Wednesday. In the mean time we are covering both wards. Fortunately we didn't have any set plans at the same time, other than dinner appointments. We both had plans to help with different parts of the stake women's conference, so we helped out a lot. My favorite part was painting rocks that said "Seek Pray Come" and heart themed doodles on the side. The lesson for that was about surviving life's changes.
Seek the words of Christ,
Pray for help and guidance,
Come: to church, and serve in you callings.
It reminds me of what we tell our investigators, only we call it CPR (Church, Pray, Read the scriptures) and it does help us through life's changes and life in general.
Another speaker talked about Temples and how we don't know how much we are blessed by attending the Temple. She challenged everyone to do family history work for twenty days by the end of next month and visit the temple for our family. I'd like to extend that challenge to everyone reading this and to pay attention to the blessings that come from it.
In other news, the Flat Creek area is getting closed for sister missionaries so I will be heading to Peach Tree City while teaching a few people in Flat Creek that the elders would need team ups for. I also took a picture of a giant spider that was in one of our investigators yard.
