Congrats to JACOB DURTSCHI! The next Elder Durtschi (pretty soon there will be 3 in the mission field! WEIRD!) Got his call to the Texas Houston East Mission:) (aka T.H.E mission) You'll do great!
Can i just say....Happy Mothers Day to all you amazing mothers/women that have made a difference in my life! Like WOW! Yall will always hold a spot in my heart! Thanks for being you, and helping others by just being an example! All yall are AMAZING! LOVE YOU!
Well i dont have a lot of time today to email because we're hanging out in Greenwood today, but this week was crazy sauce! I loved it! So much to do in sooo little time!
We helped a lady in the ward with yard work and then she fed us leftovers...which were some of the best chicken spaghetti i've ever had...even if it was leftovers! (The sauciers is still #1 tho!) We then helped a lady down the street from where we live clean her house. She's old and doesnt get many visitors. She's not really interested in the gospel right now...but hey we love service and we love talking with her:)
So the family that showed up to the scripture class last week is doing good! We are gonna see them tonight and have an awesome lesson for fhe with em. Sammy (the friend) is wanting the gospel sooo much! He wrote in his Book of Mormon "faith is the beginning step to changing my life!" We are sooo excited for him!
We went and ate at a members house Friday, everyone calls her grandma:) Sister Washington is her name tho, and we were talking about all these funny quotes that she had, well then she says you havent even heard my story yet. So we sat and listened to her story. GREATEST STORY YET! Ill give ya a summary of what it was. These two elders showed up at a members house because they were in the neighborhood and she asked em if they were hungry, they said yes (of course) and she went looking for food. All she had was some chocolate covered peanuts...but she had SUCKED ALL THE CHOCOLATE OFF and just spit the peanuts back in the can. So she gave em to them and they chowed down (because they are elders) and then she told em they were suppose to be chocolate covered. WE DIED! She is just the greatest old lady you'll ever meet!
Sunday was super fun:) At church we had a recent convert Za-Keria bring her cousins to church:) Cutest little girls ever! They love church and family and everything! We sat by em in sacrament and man oh man do they love to do hair! I wish i got a pic of it before i took it out! It kept em quiet in the meeting tho:)
Also got to skype Elder Durtschi Saturday! That was ONE of the greatest things this week....Also got to talk to the Durtschi Family Sunday! Thank you all for taking care of them! They are my favorite...and all yall are my favorites! So when yall work together it just makes love and peace!:) Wish i could have talked to all yall but i will soon enough!
This has been my favorite time in my whole life! I've never loved so much, i've never cried so much, i've never laughed so much, i've never walked so much, i've never met so many people, i've never felt the Holy Ghost stronger, i've never wanted to help others more, i've never wanted to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ more in my life! This is HAPPINESS! Missions arent easy and they never will be, but guess what? The growth that you earn on a mission is the best thing you will ever learn in your life to grow spiritually to Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father! Try and find those spiritual things in your week! You will grow and learn to love change when you get out of your comfort zones and learn to love new things. I know hardships come...but you will never regret being closer to Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ!
I love you all sooo much!
Sister Durtschi
