This Weather Tho

First off, it's like 70 degrees here every day and everyone is FREAKING OUT. No one likes the warm weather and they all keep telling us that we should not be happy for this weather. But Im gonna keep praying for good weather because it makes missionary work that much easier! :)

Story time: Remember that one time I served in Blacksburg, VA in the YSA ward and one Sunday there was a chinese kid that walked in named KJ, he was actually supposed to meet his friend at the baptist church next door but he walked into our church instead...well we started teaching him the gospel and he gained his own testimony. And on Saturday, HE GOT BAPTIZED. And guess who got to be there? ME!! President Salisbury allowed me to travel to Blacksburg to see him enter the water! THIRD BEST DAY OF MY LIFE. It was SO good to see all the people I grew so close to in Blacksburg. Bishop and Sister Passic basically almost started crying when they saw me. They are like my grandparents out here, they asked me how long I'd been out and when I told them eight  months, they both started freaking out. It was so cute! The YSA members stuck to me like glue at the baptism and they updated me on what had happened since I left. Man, it was so good to be there. :) It reminded me though of the things I missed about Roanoke. I never thought it was possible to love two places that much, but guess what, it is. Missions are weird because you just end up just loving EVERYTHING so much. 

We got a call this week from the Relief Society presidency asking us to teach the class, well that was actually pretty fun! I thought I would be super nervous but I loved it a lot! I think teaching the gospel all day, every day has made me a lot less nervous to teach. 

We've been tracting pretty much all week, trying to find. It's been pretty fun. We found a lady named Elisabeth who has talked with missionaries a little bit before when she lived in Botetourt (BO-TE-TOT) and we taught her a little bit of the restoration. I felt prompted to tell her ALL of the first vision, and after I recited all of it I asked her if she thought that could happen and she said definitely. We then commited her to read from the Book of Mormon and pray about it and promised her she would recieve an answer. She told us we could come back Wednesday so I am super pumped about Wednesday! 

We  have Mission Leadership Council tomorrow so I will traveling, early in the morning, to Charleston and back. But I am so excited to learn from President Salisbury once again! :)

Anyways, I LOVE YOU ALL TO THE MOON AND BACK!

LOVE, Sister Schoemig​
