This week was pretty slow. We had meetings on Wed and Thu, weekly
planning on Fri, service all Sat afternoon, and then Saturday night
and all day Sunday I was throwing up.
Saturday we went to help a ward member move apartments and it was
infested with cock roaches. We were spraying Raid like crazy and then
I, being the least fearful of the cucarachas, was down in the cabinets
sweeping them out and cleaning and finding all the pockets of them. We
think inhaling the Raid so much is what got me sick.
We had a whole six lessons. (Compared to the 20 we had two weeks ago).
But, we had a LOT of referrals from ward members, and it was amazing
how many calls we had from ward members as soon as they found out I
was sick--we are so loved here.
And my companion was so good to me, and such a good sport to be stuck
in the apartment all day.
Twice at dinner after we shared a message we had some one ask us to
come teach a friend or member of their family. It feels so good to
have their trust and to know that they were able to feel the spirit
through us.
A scripture we have been sharing recently for our dinner message is 2
Nephi 9:21-22. Wherever it says "all men" we substitute the name of
the person we are sharing the message with.
21 And he (Jesus) cometh into the world that he may save (your name)
if (he or she) will hearken unto his voice; for behold, he suffereth
the pains of (your name) . . .
22 And he suffereth this that the resurrection might pass upon (your
name), that (he or she) might stand before him at the great and
judgment day.
I love that scripture and I love personalizing it. That's something.
I've been working on lately: personalizing the atonement. And so every
night I write down what significance the atonement had for me that
day. It's been really neat and I encourage all to give it a try.
Con amor,
Hermana Anderson
