Hello everyone! It's been a week since I talked to y'all, let me update ya...
This week we discovered a new place that is similar to Dutch Bros, and we get little Italian soda drinks there. Needless to say the least, we have become regulars there. But we also got to attend the baptism of an 8 year old girl in the ward, and when we got there her mom was like "Do you play the piano?" and I do, but I can't just play any song in the world and they needed me to play "When I am baptized" and "Gethsemane" for her baptism. I ended up playing them, but they weren't super professional, but I'm glad we were able to be there to help.
We visited a less active member this week to help her with some service and she gave me this sweet horse shirt that she didn't want. Don't worry I've got pictures. Also we were going to go visit another member and she said we could come over so we went and when we knocked on her door she didn't answer. Later she texted us and said "oops, I was walking my dog" and that was just so funny to us for some reason.
We went to Mutual this week and they were having a trivia night which was super fun, but while we were there the APs showed up which was a surprise because they live 4 1/2 hours away from us. (They were coming for District council the next day) But we weren't able to go to District Council because we were moving Thursday morning. We packed up all our things the day before and cleaned our house as best we could and Thursday our housing coordinators came and helped us pack up our beds and we drove across town to our new apartment. It's very nice, it's brand new and in a better part of our area so it's a nice change.
We had a lesson with a guy who referred himself to us and he said that he read the whole Book of Mormon in a week and that he knows it's true. You certainly don't get that one everyday. But he also told us all about how he believes in demons and stuff like that, so that was interesting.
Also we went to visit a member who lives in a rehab center and when we got there they said she wasn't there. We're like what do you mean she's always here and they said she's at the hospital so we went and she was in the ER and they just let us in??? Like no ID, no check in, no temp check nothing just straight back to the ER. We're not even family or nothing. It was very interesting because she was fully sedated and we're actually not sure if she's okay or not, but we're gonna check on her again this week.
I also have two very exciting pieces of information for you
1) Our friend Jasmine is getting baptized next Saturday!
2) We found out which missions we will be going to when the split happens.
As for Jasmine, we are super excited for her, she's so solid and she's finally ready and it's just gonna be so good
As for the mission, President Chibota called us the other day and let us know our fate. And the verdict is that as of July 1st, I will be finishing my mission in the Florida, Tallahassee Mission! (And so will Ssister Huish) It's kinda crazy honestly, I started my mission in Alabama, but now God needs me in Florida, and I'm excited. I will be sad to say goodbye to the Chibotas, but I'm excited to meet our new mission leaders!
Spiritual thought:
I love covenants. Before my mission I didn't really understand exactly what covenants were, but it has been my privilege to get to teach people about them and even witness a few of them make covenants of their own. Yesterday in Relief Society we talked about Elder Soares' talk from the last conference about Covenant Confidence. And I love how he talks about how when we make and keep covenants with God we can be confident that God will keep His end of the bargain. Because he has to. And it's so cool. Making and keeping covenants through the holy priesthood is one of the biggest blessings we have in this life and within the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Alma 37:16-17
But if ye keep the commandments of God and do with these things which are sacred. According to that which the Lord doth command you (For you must appeal unto the lord for all things whatsoever ye must do with them) behold no power of earth or hell can take them from you for God is powerful to the fulfilling of all his words. For he will fulfill all his promises which he shall make unto you, for he has fulfilled his promises which he has made unto our fathers
I love y'all so much, have an amazing week!
