Hey Y'all!
Hope you are all doing well! I had a crazy but wonderful
week! I have learned lots and my faith has grown immensely! So first off let me
list with you some of the craziness of our schedule this week... we went on
exchanges, went and helped some sisters that are struggling (Sister training
leader assignment), had a district meeting, had interviews with our mission
president, found out that we have to drive to Charleston tomorrow ( AND we
don't have like any miles left for the month now) and walked a lot! Pretty
Crazy week, and it was exhausting but not bad:) We also found lots of new
potential investigators and were able to learn a lot from the experiences that
we had this week.
So one of the ways my faith grew this week is after we found
out that we have to drive to Charleston tomorrow. We thought that we were not
going to have to do that meaning we would have 300 extra miles but we don't so
we have had to walk a whole bunch extra. SO yesterday we were walking home from
an appointment that cancelled and this lady stopped us in our tracks and asked
us if we were the new missionaries in the area. Then she proceeded to tell us
that she had met with missionaries a while ago and that she wanted to do the stop
smoking work shop again. If we would have been driving then we would have never
found this lady. When the Lord needs things to happen, he will ALWAYS provide a
way!
In my interview with my president he asked how everything
was going and thanked me for everything I am doing. He then asked me how I was
doing personally and I said I was doing pretty good and then he asked,
"How could we make that great instead of just pretty good?" and then
I started tearing up. I told him that I was super overwhelmed because of the
STL assignment and was frustrated that our area was not doing better with how
hard we were working. He then told me to let it all go and just put all your
faith in the Lord because he said that when he got into the mission he was
really overwhelmed and when he asked an apostle how he managed it all, David A
Bednar told him, "I dont, I do my best and the lord takes care of the
rest. When we are doing the will of the Lord he will ALWAYS provide a
way." and that came from an apostle of the lord. Needless to say, my
interview with my mission president went really well!
The weather out here is beautiful!! And the colors in the
leaves are beautiful. This morning we went with another set of sisters to a
pumpkin farm that is really close to our house and it was so much fun. We went
through a corn maze and went on a hay ride and got a cute little pumpkin. And
after we got home we cut up the pumpkin and made the seeds and also cooked the
pumpkin and have pumpkin to make cookies or whatever else with! We had a super
fun morning!:)
I hope you all are learning lots everyday like I seem to do
as I am on this mission!. Keep up the great work at home and love the Lord and
serve him the very best you can (PMG.) When life gets too hard to stand kneel!
Love Sister Mauck
