Well hello my family and friends!
Time is short. But life is good. and that's all that matters, right?
I am LOVING life here in Lee's Summit. The ward is SO happy to have sisters and they are totally spoiling us. The poor elders aren't too thrilled that we're getting all the attention and that our meal calendar filled up faster than theirs did. but they'll get over it....eventually. haha.
Quick story:
My companion and I ventured to the mall last week to do a little shopping (which was weird, by the way. I haven't been to a mall in a YEAR! i've only shopped at walmart for that long. haha.) So while we were there we grabbed some lunch in the food court. We sat down to eat, and before we started we each said a personal prayer over our food. When I raised my head and opened my eyes I caught the eye of a woman sitting across the court from us. I smiled at her and she looked away. We ate our lunch and as we went to leave this woman came up to us. She was from China, so her English was really broken as she said: "when i see you pray, it make me feel so good. i just want to cry." tears filled her eyes and she said: "i just wish my kids be like you. they not make good decisions and I wish they pray like you do." She told us a little more about her family before she went on her way, and that was that. Although our encounter with this woman was short, the warmth in my heart lingered throughout the rest of the day. What a testimony builder of the example we need to be as members because there will always be people who recognize our actions. We are making a difference simply by living the teachings of the Gospel. We truly must "...stand as witnesses of God at all times and in all things, and in all places that ye may be in"
i love you all!
