Howdy Howdy everyone!
This week has been swell! Not to many unique words to describe it other than hot and humid. Friday and Saturday were some really warm days, but nothing that occasional shade and LOTS of water cant solve. I love water :D
The lesson we had with the Shepherds went well. She committed to reading the Book of Mormon everyday, but we haven't been able to have to much communication with them since. We are scheduled to go by tomorrow and have a great member of the ward coming.
Sister Fabon is doing great. She came to the mission devotional last night in Auburn and is going to be teaching us about Tithing tonight. The mission devotional went really well. During choir practice on Monday I was as the back up conductor for the choir just incase she would have been still out of town yesterday for a funeral, but she made it back. Preparing to conduct a choir like that was intense, but I knew the Lord would assist me.
Last night we had dinner with Sister Beck and Sister Stevenson, senior missionaries in the ward. One of the things they had at dinner was mashed potatoes and gravy. It has been a long while since I have been able to have homemade mashed potatoes and gravy in a while and I ate a bunch. After eating all of the servings I got myself, I felt like my brother Lance and wanted to go lie down on the couch and moan. Then after some more room is available go back and eat some more :D (I didn't do that just so you know).
Yesterday in Sacrament meeting there was an amazing talk that really spoke to me. Throughout the talk the speaker really highlighted several aspects of feeling love and having our hearts grow. One of the things he said as he had continue growing and serving in the church that his heart and emotion have grown so much more for the members of the church. I have felt that in myself throughout the mission and I pray to experience it even more for everyone. There is a the phrase I have heard on my mission "You love big and you hurt big" (because you love them so much). I am more earnestly praying and pleading for that love, that Charity, and its making a difference in my missionary work. I am seeing the world with different eyes when I love the people.
It is amazing.
Love you all!
Sincerely,
Elder Sumsion
