Hey Y'all
Hope you are all doing well! I love and miss you all but man
is time just a flying by out here! So our district decided that we wanted to
memorize the scripture that is the subject of this email. So my companion and I
have decided that we are going to take 2 versus a week to memorize it because
it is kind of long but it is a really good scripture, especially for missionary
work but in general, I would invite you all to look it up. So sorry I didn't
write last week, I kind of ran out of time but it feels like our time is filled
up so much faster since we have made this area an STL area. But so just a few
incites from 2 weeks ago. We went on exchanges with some sisters in Radford who
are in a YSA area, meaning they do not have a car and boy am I grateful that I
have a car in my area. Trying to walk everywhere gave us opportunities to talk
to people but it took so much longer to get to appointments but it was a really
cool experience and I learned a lot about their area.
This week was kind of uneventful. We did go on another
exchange and had to drive more than 2 hours round trip to get there but it was a
great experience! The area had like 500 members but only 50 are active and the
sisters in the area are working so hard. It has been really interesting to go
on so many exchanges and learn so much from them!
Interesting story from this past week. We went to meet with
someone that we have been working with a lot and brought a sister member with
us and she drove with us because she really doesn't like driving at night.
Anyways so on the mission we have a rule of sight and sound. Meaning that we
always have to be within sight and hearing of each other with only a few
exceptions for our own safety obviously. So we were leaving and the lady that
was with us got in the car and I thought my companion got into the car and so I
drove down the street to turn around in the cul-da-sac or however you spell
that, and as we were driving the lady was like what are you doing, and I looked
at her with a puzzled face and then she said "Sister Kelly?????" and
I was like what and I looked in the back seat for her and she wasn't there and
I started freaking out and started driving really fast back. She was running
after me and I felt so bad and on top of that I really thought I was going to
have a heart attack. Anyways we laughed about it the whole way home and for the
past week if she does something and I say something about it she says, "
Well at least I would never leave you," and then I roll my eyes haha. It
really was weird and it felt like the worst but it ended up being okay.
I love being a missionary and getting to see the gospel
change people’s lives! It really is the best! I hope that I can reach all those
I need to and make the difference in the lives that Heavenly Father needs me
to! I hope you all take every opportunity you can to share the gospel! I love
you all and keep up the great work!
Love Sister Mauck
