I hit a year this week & it made me realize how flipping fast this time is going! Wowza!
Anyway we had some awesome experiences this week!
Missionary work is opening up a bit where we can meet people outside or at the church so on Monday we told a member we could meet up with her & holy moly I have never seen her so happy! The pure joy in her face when we ran to see her made me SO HAPPY! Gosh all this Corona stuff has been hard/sad (*but also good in many many ways) but I think it makes the reunion so much sweeter & more meaningful! I guess you have to know the bitter to know the sweet right? And so with that, I am grateful for the bitter because I LOVE the sweet!
We had several lessons with one of our newer friends this week & she is just absorbing everything we teach! And she wants to get baptized! She lives in Wisconsin so it has been quite the adventure getting in contact with missionaries over there & we had our first lesson with them & her this week & it went well! Despite the language & technology barrier we could all still feel the Spirit! We are excited to keep teaching her! She is the cutest!
We had our last zone conference with President & Sister Barney this week! And today we saw them for the last time in person & said goodbye! Wow we love them & are going to miss them so much!
We got to do a picnic with the sisters next door this week! Sister Marshall is there now!! Wow so fun!
There were more birthdays this week! We got to tune in to one virtually! And the other one we came to the window of her apartment and sat outside! Little miracle with that! It was raining and then when we got there the rain let up! It was so nice! And it didn't start again until we got home! I really miss these people so much & wish we could be there for these special moments in their lives but I am grateful for the things that we CAN do! It has been a lot of fun getting creative & doing the things we CAN do & looking forward to the day when we'll be able to do more! :)
OK now I wanna talk about something that's been on my mind for a while now that I think everyone needs to hear! Lately, I've been thinking a lot about self-esteem/love/confidence. I think Heavenly Father has been teaching me a lot about it & this week it came up with several of our friends & I got to share some of the things I've learned with them! I've learned that no matter how we see ourselves, Heavenly Father ALWAYS sees us as one of His BEAUTIFUL creations. ALWAYS. FACT. And as we come closer to Him & especially to our Savior, who can help us turn our weaknesses into strengths, we can grow to love ourselves more! Our potential is endless! And that goes for every single person! I've also been learning tips & tricks to help with self esteem & it starts with seeing other people as God sees them & realizing that God sees us all as equal! I won't go on too much longer on this rant but if you want to hear more shoot me an email! Just know that YOU YES YOU! YOUR WORTH IS ENDLESS! We talked about this with several of our friends this week and it really just hit home with them & I think it is such a big thing for everyone! We shared a quote with them and then they wanted to share it on their stories & they got several people thanking them too! So I'll attach one of those so you can read it too!
I really know that Heavenly Father loves us! All of us! As His children! He IS aware of us & He is cheering us on! I'm grateful that we got to celebrate Father's day yesterday! There are so many amazing fathers here on earth & one amazing all seeing, all knowing Father in Heaven! I pray you may all feel His love & see His hands in your life! I love you all!
Love, Sister Freeman ဖီပြံဝါ
