I
got the pictures from leadership council that president sent, and I was
like "wow, these pics are a little late, but I'm glad I finally got
them" and then it hit me--leadership council was THIS week! It seems
like so long ago....
Haha, but anyway, while I'm on that
topic, leadership council was awesome! More awesome than usual. We
talked all about "ministering," and how we are going to make ministering
part of our mission culture. We were challenged to read 3 Nephi and
highlight every time that it says "minister" (or derivative) and "one by
one." I finished highlighting them this week, and now I'm gonna go back
and see what I can learn! Also, it was awesome to be able to see
everyone from the 4 corners of the mission :)
OK the craziest
part of this week was trying to contact 15 referrals that we recieved
from an irmão that we don't even know. 15! One day we went with a
member, the third and fourth time we went by bus, but the first time...
the first time we made the awful mistake of walking home afterward. We
went singing and talking (it was dark and there were lots of cars and
few people) and when I realized where we were, we were farther away than
I thought we had been when we started out, and I almost cried. When we
limped through the door, I hugged the sisters that were visiting (for
leadership council the next day) and plopped down on the floor. And
STAYED there!
We did splits with Sister Pagassini and Sister Blanscett, which was
super fun. We found lots of awesome people to teach, as usual, but they
seem to have this gift to find themselves sick, travelling, or taking
care of hurt family members right when we want to teach them or take
them to church. But we had a few appointments that went super well this
week, so that's always happy news :)
My comp is awesome, in case I haven't said it enough. This is what I said about her to Pres this week:
Eu
e Sister Todd estamos bem. Realmente amo como ela é tão tão aberto
sobre coisas que eu faço que ela não gosta. Ela está sempre buscando ser
melhor, e verdadeiramente mostra "fome e sede da retidão." Ela me ajuda
a ser melhor a cada dia.
The last thing is that we spent all
morning today playing volleyball with our district and a couple of
members, which was SUPER fun.
Ok I'm out of time as always. Bet you're all sick of hearing that :P But I love you all, and have a great week!
-Sister Kirkham
