Adventure is Out There! 9/15/2015

Dear Family,

Don't worry everyone I saw the sloth again! I'm in love but no I will not take it home! Pretty cool though. Kind of another wild week. We had a mini missionary with us, Sarafina. She is 19 and in our branch. She wants to go on a mission. She is great!

So let's see. I'll start with my miracle of the week. Wednesday I was on splits with Sara because Sis Walsh went to the doctor because of some back pain. We were on our way to an appointment which naturally fell through. We said a prayer together and started walking. We both felt like we should go see this one lady we talked to the night before. We were asking her to see if her neighbors were home. But we never contacted this lady. So anyway we went back to see her. We told her we came to see her. She was really friendly and let us sit down. We just started having a lesson about God is our loving Heavenly Father. We just testified that she was important to God and that he had a plan for her. I felt impressed to tell her that the spirit guided us to her that day. She said, "Well I have a story for you." She went on to tell us that for the past 5 years she has been scammed by this guy. And she was dealing with all the results. She had been praying to God for help and asking if he was there. She said, "I think you are my answer!" We went back a couple days later and had a cool resto lesson. She couldn't come to church this week but she said for sure the next week. I feel really good about her. I hope it will continue well.

Consuella is doing well. She is so ready to be baptized. We haven't caught her boyfriend this week but we have a game plan to get him this week. The key is going to be him. We have to get him pumped and ready to go. It's gonna be quite the challenge but hopefully it will all go well.

Matilda is so so. Her daughter Sheyenne is still doing really well. She is pumped on the gospel. She came to church this week by herself and just loved it! She is a real cutie.

fell asleep on my lap during a discussion!

Friday I went on exchanges in Wanica with Sister Jensen and Sister Ashcraft. The picture you see is me wearing Sister Jensen's clothes for a service activity we were going to do. I'm wearing a classic Sister Jensen outfit so it was sooo funny to be wearing it. Sister Jensen is awesome! I love her a lot. I had a fun time in Wanica. We did service for Sister Rama. Classic. She fell this last week so she can't walk. There was a lot of work to be done fore. Had to bathe her this week. It's super hard work taking care of her. I'll take care of you mom and dad but I'm not working in a old folks home. We had some other lessons with some members. None that I was super close to but it was still fun. 

Saturday there was a great baptismal service from a family in another branch. They were so cute and so happy to be baptized. They were referrels from a couple in my branch the Kabelie's. The Kabelie's are awesome! So solid and they were just baptized end of last year. 

Today we went to Brownsberg which is this cool place in the jungle. It was soooo cool and pretty! We had a lot of fun. I love getting together with Sister Jensen and Sister Christiansen. They are my homies. 

Love you all so much! Thanks for the prayers.

Love,

Elizabeth
