Well, don't I have a story for you? To start off, the zone leaders I'm working with are great, but bless their hearts, they struggle sometimes! We, as sister training leaders, have been asked to bring both sisters from the companionship to work in our area for the day. So we asked the zone leaders to get us beds from storage so these sisters dont have to sleep on the floor! Well, it was a week long ordeal. The zone leaders accidentily broke the key to the storage unit, lost their phone, and ran overtime in a lesson (each of these things happened on different days) when they were supposed to bring us these beds! And when we finally got all of us together to get the beds, it took several trips to get them there, never did I think it would take a week to get us TWO BEDS! haha, well its a story to laugh about!
We met with Theresa again this week and wow, she has so many good questions! We explained more about the Book of Mormon, Joseph Smith and answered the questions sh had about them, we ended up going overtime but the spirit was so strong there and we all just got along so well that time just flew when we were teaching her! I am so excited to get to see her again this week, she said she has loved meeting with us and wants her family and friends to meet with us, so we might have a crowd we are teaching this wednesday! :)
We had a fireside yesterday, but after some cancelations for musical numbers, the missionaries in the Roanoke ward decided they were going to sing a musical number! Oh how awesome was that choice. We all got together saturday night at the YSA building with Brother Winkler, one of the ward missionaries, to try to choose a song to sing and practice it. Let's just say... that didnt work out so well. haha, as a group we just didnt sound good. It ended up being that the elders decided they were going to sing a duet and they did pretty good. But the fireside was so good! While we didnt have many people there, the spirit was there and we got many good compliments so it ended up being a success in a different way!
We went on exchanges with the Salem sisters this weekend. I was with Sister Cook. She is so adorable and we both are very similar with the things we've struggled with so we got along so well! I had a cool moment in church the other day where I was thinking about my mission and all the cool people i've become friends with and the things i've seen and I was just so full of gratitude that my Heavenly Father has put me in the spot that I need to be. I am gaining so many lifelong friends and I'm so grateful. :)
We had a baptism in the Salem, VA ward that I was able to attend, but while I was there... a missionary I came out with, Sister Condie (she took my place in Blacksburg), got to come with her companions, Sister Nelson and Sister Ried (they are in a tripanionship due to circumstances) and it was so good to see them both and catch up! But I found out that a young man, named KJ, I found and taught in Blacksburg is getting baptized! So I got permission from President Salisbury to go back and watch him enter the water! IM GOING BACK TO BLACKSBURG. I've never been so excited in my life! :)
A mission is so worth it.
Share your testimony with someone this week! ;)
I love you all to the moon and back!
Sister Schoemig
