Good News In The Sister Missionary World!

Well, let's just say, it's been a rough week but we have good news for the world of Sister Missionaries in the NY NY North Mission. We no longer have to wear nylons and ugly closed toed shoes! That's right! Sister Smith told us that because the summer is so humid and gross we don't have to wear them and we can even wear cute sandals. I am sure you all know how excited I am about that. Too bad I can't wear my flip flops, ha ha, but I'll count my many blessings.

As I said, this week is what I like to call a "real" missionary week. Sister Child and I had very high hopes for finding new people to teach. These last couple of weeks we had to drop a whole bunch of people that weren't progressing. So we had goals of finding news and those goals aren't really showing themselves as of yet. But it's ok. We have had a lot of days where we go out all day with high hopes and come home with sore feet and frustration. But we have seen the little miracles in every day and we keep going on. The good news is, is that we have 3 people lined up for baptism. They are progressing and have testimonies of the gospel, most importantly, they have enough faith to ACT. That really is the defining line, if we will act on what we believe. I have been reading a lot of faith and action and how much they are linked. We can't expect to be blessed for just asking, we need to DO all we can, then we will see the blessings. They HAVE to go together.

This last week we had the privilege of spending time with Elder Robbins for the Seventy. It was awesome and I was able to learn so many things. I am grateful we have those chances as a missionary. I was uplifted and boy did I need it. Ha ha. Sister Child and I are doing great. I love her so much! She is a hard worker and an amazing missionary. We laugh so much but we work so hard. I love her!

Today for P-day we just played some basketball in the church. I think I am getting old because my body is kinda hurting from it. Ha ha, I haven't played that hard for a while but it was fun and good for me.

Well, not much else to talk about this week. I love and miss you all! Keep doing the little things! They are what matter most! LOVE YOU ALL!
