So, now Soeur Powers is in New Jersey. Her visa didn't come in time so she is visa waiting there! Probably just email her for now, as letters may or may not make it to her in time, as we're not sure how long she'll be in the states. She found this out on the same day she sent this email...
Hey!
This week has been another amazing one. I know I say this every single week but the time really does fly. A few really cool things have happened. We had our final TRC appointment on Wednesday. We taught a grandfather and grandaughter who were playing recent converts. It was our best teaching experience yet. Sr Flood and I have struggled making the investigator a part of the lesson. It feels like we have so much to share that we get carried away and end up just talking AT the person instead of talking WITH them. We made it a goal to ask more questions and it made a world of difference! What is the point of sharing the Plan of Salvation or testifying of the Book of Mormon if they don't understand how it can affect them personally? They shared their testimonies of the Savior and the difference the Atonement has made in their lives. We were also able to share our feelings with them. I know that our relationships with the Savior are extremely personal but when we vocalize those feelings it is easier see how blessed we are. I know that when we seek to draw near to Him He draws near to us (D&C 88:63). I feel like it is so easy for me get off track but when we humble ourselves in prayer and beg for mercy, God is so willing to give it.
In response to your email mom...So cool that you got to meet Blair! She is incredible and obviously so dedicated to the work. Tell her hi the next time you go to the temple! There is a Sis Tsai here from Maryland who is going to Denver I think? She said she also knows Blair and to say hi! Just a heads up...for anyone sending me mail to the mission home, put the name of the mission first.
I AM SO EXCITED to go! A tiny bit nervous but the good kind of nerves. Mormon 5:23! It is going to be an adventure but it is going to be a blast. I know we can do all things in the strength of the Lord.
O, I almost forgot...i participated in this learning a language study...remind me to tell you about it on monday! LOVE LOVE LOVE sr powers
