Helloooo everyone I hope you had the best week ever! My week was very weird and felt like it lasted for 2 years so let's get into it.
Monday: P day was really chill. We stayed in the apartment and talked to our families. Aside from grabbing lunch at out favorite restaurant, that was pretty much all that happened.
Tuesday: It was my 3-month mark as a missionary. I know I've said it before but time is so weird on a mission. I feel like my transfers have flown by but it definitely feels like I've been here longer than three months. We went back to our favorite restaurant for dinner and they gave me free dessert because Sister Hamblin told them it was my birthday! They just didn't know it was my mission birthday hehe.
Wednesday: We went to district council and it was sooo good. We talked about why we are on missions and we got invited to think about the person who was an example to us to serve the Lord. I felt the spirit so strongly. After DC, we had exchanges. Usually, we would just flip-flop companions with the sister training leaders (STLs) but that didn't happen. Our STLs are training a visa waiter named Sister Austin and she's not an STL. On their past exchanges, she just usually stays with one of the STLs but, they had Sister Austin come with me and both STLs stayed in Toledo with Sister Hamblin. So I had to lead out the exchange and everything. I got to see what it's like to be an STL which was kind of fun! We don't really know why they did that because I'm still in training as a missionary ahaha. Anyway, the rest of the day, Sister Austin and I did service, taught our friend Wayne and went around to our other people. It was also my dad's birthday so I got to call him and it is always good when I get to talk to my family.
Thursday: We got up and went to a nearby track to work out. While we were there, the sunrise was so pretty!! Any time I see something like that, it just reminds me of how much God loves me!! It's the small things that help me remember that He knows each of us and is aware of us. I had 2 whole hours of personal study because Sister Austin had language study. So I used the extra hour to prepare for the exchange study. Sister Austin wanted to study more on prayer and so that's what I studied. We had a really good discussion. The rest of the day, we did some more service, and then we had to drive halfway to Toledo to switch back. Once we switched, we had a lesson with Preston and it went really well.
Friday: We had a lesson with Wayne and we taught him the restoration of the church. After teaching this lesson a few times, my testimony has really grown on this subject. I know Joseph Smith is a true prophet of God and I am very grateful for everything he went through for the church. The lesson went so well and he said he wants to work towards getting baptized. He just has to quit smoking. So we're praying for that!
Saturday/Sunday: Saturday was a pretty basic Fostoria day. Nothing exciting happened. Sunday we went to church and both Preston and Wayne came!! It was exciting. It was Wayne's first time to church in his whole life and he's an older guy. He was a little skeptical but after church, he told us he wants us to keep coming over because he likes what we're teaching him. That got us pumped! After church, the Baldwins invited us for dinner and we had bean dip. It is seriously SO good!
I am having the best time being a missionary and I'm so grateful for this gospel! I hope you all have the best week! I love you and so does Heavenly Father!!
Trust in the Lord
Love,
Sister Welch
