Grill Master=ME & SISTER ROWLEY

A mission really pushes you to places you never thought you could go before. I thought I was someone who could never do this. Never could help someone with gospel principles, never could talk this much in my life, never could be this far from home, and never could try things so boldly, BUT HERE I AM. This week really showed me that I am capable through Christ which strengthens me. Yesterday during our gospel principles class our teacher asked us to give our testimonies in Christ and I was thinking about what I should say and I thought about how Christ makes us whole. I am whole because of Christ. I can be bold because of Christ. I can try new things because of Christ. I can talk all day because of Christ. He gives me everything. He gives hope. He gives peace. He gives love. I am here to pay him back for all that hes done for me, but its impossible. He has done so much for me and will do more that I can ever imagine in my life. I love the Prince of Peace, the Messiah, the Redeemer, my Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. I am so happy I have this knowledge and know of his love. I hope I can be adequate in showing his love for his children to others. I will do my best. :) I love my mission and I'm grateful I can be doing things I never thought I could ever do before. 

I am now a grill master. Holla. We had a cookout at one of the less actives home with her family to help her get to know the ward so she feels comfortable coming and our ward mission leader couldnt come last minute because he forgot his brother was getting married. haha! so me and sister rowley tried to get the recently returned missionary here to do it and he said well if you sisters dont think you can do it... and we were like WHOA WHOA WHOA! We can do it! We'll do it just to show you we can! And he said See what I did there? haha! he certainly knows how to get sisters to do things!! So ME AND SISTER ROWLEY GRILLED ABOUT 40 HAMBURGERS AND HOTDOGS! and they were amazing! That night was just so good! The members actually came because they like us and they brought friends and it was amazing! The ward here is helping us and its awesome! Its cool to see this area go from nothing to bursting with so many people to teach and see the members helping us out! 

At the YMCA this week we found a tie dye jumpsuit and we convinced our friend Derron to put it on. Ill send a picture. He's a funny guy! :)

IT IS SO COLD! I've been wearing scarves, cardigans, and big jackets for the past week. But i love experiencing something that isnt Utah weather! The leaves are starting to change back here in Virginia and its so pretty. I love it.

Well, thats about it since it was a short week. There are miracles every day. Open your eyes and count the miracles and blessings around you. I promise you WILL see God in them.

I LOVE YOU ALL SOOOOO MUCH!!!! HAVE AN AWESOME WEEK!!

Remember to review General Conference!!

LOVE, Sister Schoemig​
