Whoa Baby!
So this week has
had so many UPS and downs.... Firstly, I got sick Wednesday night. I
was feeling bad that day, but I kept going because I was on exchanges
with Sister Mann. I had her come to my area to work because she is in a
language program in her area which is Nepali (They teach the people
from Nepal! They have a branch here in Salt Lake!!! So cool!!), and
she's never experienced an English area. But it was good. She is from
Georgia, and she's way cute and a really awesome missionary. She taught
me some words in Nepali. But after we switched back, I started running
a fever. And it was high too. I lost my thermometer, so I don't know
exactly what it was, but it was high. So then I went to bed. And woke
up even worse. Later that morning, Sister Quiles called the Elders to
have them come and give me a blessing! Aren't priesthood blessings
amazing! It gave me a lot of comfort. Especially about some things
that I have been worried about. Then I went back to bed. We went out
to work later that night. We had a lesson with Francisco and his
parents. Francisco is a former investigator. His family is Seventh Day
Adventist. We talked about some principles and doctrines of the
gospel. And read parts of the Bible. The Dad was trying to make things
contentious. But Sister Quiles and I were very calm. I guess it was
because the Dad only spoke Spanish, and so Sister Quiles was translating
for me. But it ended up good. Sister Quiles bore her testimony and
testified that we were representatives of Jesus Christ here to help
people come closer to Him. The Spirit was so strong! I was like, yeah!
That's my companion! So proud of her! She's doing so great. She has
made so much progress. I hope we get to stay together next transfer.
We are really going up and down with the work here, trying to figure
out what to do and how to do it. But we are learning and we are going
to make a plan and set some goals. It's gonna be great! Oh, hey we had
a baptism this weekend in Cottonwood Heights! It was ABE!!! There
were 8 sister missionaries that were here since he began investigating
the church! Isn't that awesome! He finally got baptized!!! It was so
cool to see him go into the water and be baptized by someone holding
that priesthood authority of God!! Oh, and I wasn't able to get a
picture. Sister Eberhardt took one and said she would post it on
Facebook on the mission page! So look it up there!
Scripture to look up!!! Mosiah 5:15!!!!
Have a great week!
Love,
Sister Marlow
Oh and thanks Taylor fams for sending me the package and notes!!! I absolutely loved it!!!!
