Hey guys! This week was good!
Monday was so much fun! We ended up going to the coast again and the weather was so sunny and nice! We did this “hike” that an elder recommended and it was straight down a waterfall. Would not recommend but it was a good zone bonding experience as everyone helped each other down and then back up the waterfall.
On Tuesday, we ended up contacting a ton of people and knocked on a ton of doors. Our dinner cancelled so we met with the sister for dinner.
Wednesday was busy. We had a lesson with a friend, then walked this lady's dog. We also had a lesson with our friend who is getting baptized next Sunday!! The lesson went really well and I think she is prepared to be baptized. We had dinner with a member family.
On Thursday, we had an awesome lesson with a less engaged member. She is older and has a learning disability. She wanted us to explain the Chosen. So we sat and watched and episode of the Chosen and paused it every few minutes to explain. We met the sisters at the church to eat lunch, then we had interviews with President. He is such an intense guy. We had a meeting with our ward mission leader to help make sure that everything is set for our friend's baptism! We had dinner with some members who are just the sweetest. She loves to cook and is so excited to have people to cook for.
Friday was interesting. We had NMT and district counsel. We all went to the Institute for lunch. We had a lesson at the furtherest south you can go in our area so it was like a 20 minute drive. The lady lives in a 100 year old house that hasn't really changed since it was built. It was odd. Sister Flake wasn't feeling well so we came home. She was feeling better later that day so we went to our member dinner.
On Saturday, we played soccer in the morning. It wasn't raining when we showed up but it started pouring freezing rain and we just kept playing. It was so much fun!
Sunday was pretty chill. We had dinner with a member family that is just awesome. I really do love this ward.
I hit 4 months on Thursday! Crazy to think how fast my mission is going by! I am so excited that we get to study the Book of Mormon in Come Follow Me this year. I've definitely seen the importance of having a testimony of the Book of Mormon in my missionary work! I hope you all get a chance to study it!
Love,
Sister O'Barr
Helaman 5:12
“And now, my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall.”
