August 2, 2010

Hi Everyone!

Things are going pretty good here. Today has been very good! I got up this morning and worked out and finished my laundry. It's so funny, I have become such a cleaner! Every night, I clean the house. I organize EVERYTHING. It's kind of become ridiculous! I think because I can't work my frustrations and fears out other ways, I resort to cleaning! I hope it's something that stays with me, because I REALLY like having a clean house!



This week we had interviews, but it's not interviews anymore. They've changed the mission, so that we now only have interviews every other transfer and Zone Conference every other transfer. Instead of actually interviews, we had the opportunity to have President Macdonald teach us some new curriculum for missionaries. It was an AWESOME experience! I absolutely love my mission president! Heavenly Father definitely knew who I needed as my leader here! I also needed a new temple recommend (I know, I can't believe it's been 2 years since I first went through the temple!), so I got to have an interview by President Macdonald for my new recommend! It was such an amazing experience to have a temple recommend interview as a missionary! I've never felt so worthy for that recommend! It was a very, very spiritual experience!



This week we've been having a hard time finding new investigators and Sister Hamilton and I have been hit with a lot of fear, but we're pushing through it! Satan is working extra hard, but at least when he does that, we know we're doing something right!



Yesterday, Brandy (one of our investigators) and Jill (another investigator) bore their testimonies. Unfortunately, Sister Hamilton and I were in Oakridge, so we weren't able to hear them, but we're very, very proud of them. Oh, I forgot to tell you! On Tuesday, we went to see Brandy. Brandy has been investigating for about 3 months. She knows the church is true and loves it, but hasn't wanted to get baptized until her fiance can get back up here from Mexico and they can get married. She wants to be sure she can live the Law of Chastity. Well, on Tuesday, she said that she felt a little fuzzy at church. We find that if investigators don't make that next step to get baptized, they start to lose the progress they've made. The Spirit was very, very strong as we told her that, that was what was happening. The Spirit then stepped in and told us to promise her a miracle if she would set a date to be baptized. She accepted and will be baptized on September 11th! It was such an amazing experience! I absolutely LOVE feeling the Spirit direct my thoughts and my words to help someone else! I wish I could explain it, but it is so, so, so cool!



Well, next week our district is going up to Sahaley Falls, so I'm not sure when I'll be able to write, but I will write you one way or another!

I love you all! And look forward to hearing from you! ;)

Love,

Sister Losee
