This week was awesome!! We saw many miracles including a family of six get baptized into the Ward, we worked hard, we laughed a lot, and we met some really cool and some really crazy people.
The week started with an exchange in Mountain View. I once again got to go to one of the prettiest places in Arkansas and spend 24 hours with the lovely Sister Pemberton and Sister Arnold. We had a really good exchange together. These sisters are on fire! And I feel like I learned much more from them then they did from me. One of the best parts of the exchange was I came home with new used skirts from Sister Pemberton. She goes home tomorrow actually so she was packing a bit during the exchange and gave me a few of her skirts. Score!
After spending a day in Mountain View we met in a little town called Heber Springs to switch back. Unfortunately due to some miscommunication our driver didn't realize she had to take us back to Searcy after driving us to Heber. So we were left stranded an hour away from home in this little tourist town for a little bit before a wonderful Ward member was able to come and pick us up.
That same day we had a very interesting lesson with a crazy lady. The lesson included fast talking, some singing and dancing, Jesus in a white robe spinning around in a circle, and ended with us being blessed with eagle wings. It was definitely one for the journal. On Thursday we got to go to a special mission leadership council meeting with two members of the executive missionary committee. It was such a great meeting! We learned a lot about how to be better missionaries and to be more effective missionaries. I left feeling super excited to get to work. So of course I woke up really sick the next day. Fortunately Sister Mathison was a good nurse and made sure I got lots of rest and I was feeling much better by the next day.
On Sunday we found some really amazing new investigators. Jenny was a referral that we contacted over the phone and invited to church. And she came with her husband. We saw her afterward and she has actually been investigating on her own and through missionaries on the Mormon.org website. She is super awesome and has the cutest little baby girl. We also found a little family. We met this little girl named Kamia earlier in the week and she decided that we were going to be friends. We saw her Sunday and she wanted us to come met her mom. Unfortunately her mom wasn't available. So we talked with her and her brother for a little bit and made some videos of them doing the nay nay. Then Kamia's brother went into the house and came back out and told us that his mom already knew Jesus and didn't want us to come over. We were a little sad but said ok and left for our appointment. But both of us, Sister Mathison and I, felt like we needed to go talk to this mom. So at the end of the night we decided to go back and try her. Turns out she has been looking for a church to take her kids to and she is really interested in learning more about our church! Thank goodness for the Holy Ghost prompting us to go back to talk with her! I can't wait to go back and teach this family.
I can't believe tomorrow is September! Time is flying by faster and faster. I am so grateful to be a missionary. I love getting to see God hastening his work and getting to be a part of building his kingdom. I love this work!
As always thank you for everything y'all do!
Have a great week!
Love Sister Aase
