Friends!!
Yes the title is real...we almost got quarantined because we were with someone when they got the call that their family members got COVID who they were with that weekend...we were so nervous that we would have to be quarantined too! We called our DL and then called the nurse and after some talking and telling her that we were only there for 5 minutes and wearing masks she said ok letting us not be quarantined. THANK HEAVENS because I can't be stuck inside again!!
ZONE CONFERENCE!
I LOVED zone conference! It was fun but very long too! We got to go to Monmouth and train the Monmouth zone and then we drove back to our zone and sat in on our zone conference while the Hermana STL's trained as well. It's so fun to train!
We exchanged twice this week! One with Monmouth and Oakdale and I exchanged with SISTER CARLSON!! It was so much fun to be with her and do a little singing video :)
I saw one of my big weaknesses turn into a strength this week and it was so cool. As you may or may not know, going outside and talking to people has been a struggle for me. I can talk to people just fine. It's the initial going up to a total strangers is what KILLS me! Well ever since being with Sister Hawkes my confidence with talking to people has gone up because she is so good at it. I have seen that rub off on me. On Saturday I had an exchange with a sister who literally had the exact struggle I had a few weeks ago. So to be able to help her be confident and have her tell me that really made me realize of how FINALLY God has made that struggle and weakness in me turn into a strength. I thank God for showing me that and how Ether 12:27 is real which means the Book of Mormon is real which shows that God is real and He loves me!
I had my wonderful friends from back home and come and visit me for a few minutes on Sunday morning. It was so good to see them, LOVE YOU JARDINE'S!
Things I learned this week:
-Patience is the purifying part of His work.
-Choose today to be 100% obedient
-A mission is temporary but discipleship is forever.
-There is no middle ground. Choices have to be made.
-Obedience brings JOY
ECL 12:13, "13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man."
☆Make getting a temple recommend as or more urgent than finding a lost wallet.
-Lift where you stand!
-Assume Positive intent (we all are not perfect, assume they are trying to do their best like you.)
☆Priesthood power helps us persist in righteous living.
Well I love you all!
Keep loving and showing love for everyone.
Love,
Sister Fillmore
