Hello my peopleeeee

This week was the best week ever. We had to have the best week ever in
case me and Sister Morrison got separated. But don't even fret because
me and sister Morrison get another 6 weeks in Cordelia. What could be
better.

This week unfortunately I was super sick but I didn't have time to be
sick so we worked anyway. Every morning sister Morrison made me a nice
lemon and honey warm drink with some medicine that she set on my desk.
She is just the sweetest. I love her too much.

This week I ate a chocolate habanero. The elders told me it wasn't hot
and so then I took a bite and it ruined me. I should have known after
all I can't even handle medium salsa. Guys, my whole face and lips
went numb. IT was the funniest worst thing ever. I know you guys all
wished you could've been there. (Chase: it was 100 times worse than
the lemon juice drink video hahahha)

This week was seriously the best week. It went by so fast. I can't
even write down all the miracles we see daily. So much happens in a
day and we talk to so many people that I can't even remember when it's
time to email. There truly is nothing better than being a missionary.

The coolest thing happened the other days:

We were coming back to dinner and like I said earlier I have been
pretty sick this week. But when you only have a year left you don't
have time for sick days haha I like to work work work thinking I will
work it off but by Sunday night I was feeling not hot and decided that
we could go back to the apartment so I could sit down and try to rest
my body. As we were driving home, a thought came into my mind that we
should stop by a lady's house that we had stopped by in the beginning
of the transfer but there hadn't ever been an answer. I decided that
the only way I was going to know if it was the Holy Ghost was to act
on the prompting I received. So we drove over to her house and knocked
on the door. We heard the dog barking and then it stopped and a minute
went past and no one answered. I thought "oh bummer I really felt
impressed to come to this house, at least I acted and now God can
trust me" BUT then the door answered!! we had a GREAT talk, she was
interested and her schedule was no longer busy so we set up a return
lesson appointment. It may seem small but it was a huge testimony
builder to me that 1) God is a God of one; That he uses one to go
after another and 2) an increase in faith requires an increase in
action. I need to act every time I get a prompting or a feeling
because I might not even know it's the Holy Ghost until later. I am
just blown away by the Holy Ghost and how mysterious God works.

The mission is the best. I am so grateful to be able to serve the
lord. This week I passed my 6 months mark. I have now less than 1 year
to work. I didn't think I would ever say it but a year just isn't long
enough. Everyday I see my desire to share this message grow deeper.
one of my favorite things to think about is to look at where I was and
then to think of where I am now. The atonement is real.

God is so good. I'll send lots of photos to make up for my lack of words.

Love you guys always

Sister t
