Dear Family,
I am not going to lie to you..this was another
wonderfully great week in Clinton and Flowood MS. So much has happened
in this past week and it feels like it has been a month.. You know those
weeks that go by so slow, but you look back and it went by so fast?
yes..this was one of those weeks. By no means was it a bad slow
though..just jam packed with so much! ... let me see if I can give you
an idea of what I mean..
So after I talked with y'all on Tuesday..transfers.. There were four of
us sisters just "chillin" in Clinton waiting for the Flowood apartment
to be ready. ( and by chillin I mean tearin it up and working really
hard.) We had many great adventures and times. It was Sister Carter ( we
were both trained by sister Hills..so my Sister!)..And sister Platt (
the temple square sister who is only here for two more weeks) and also
of course the Lovely sister Aebischer. All 4 of us had a great time
working hard to find the elect.. We got to do a lot of service and Would
you believe it if I told you I mowed a lawn for the first time?..Also
we were able to come back up for the day of service in Clinton and
helped shovel dirt and rocks at a park. Very great. ( That took place on
Saturday morning)
Well anyways..after a great week of service..and teaching a lesson in
Jackson on half of a chair that I shared with Sister Platt.. We were
able to move into our new apartment on Friday afternoon. Our area is
Flowood and we are in the Brandon ward. ( I do not have pictures of our
apartment this week but I will have them for you next week.)
So we decided to go to chick-fil-a for dinner Friday night of last week
and whilst ( My companion is from England..lol) we were there a lady
came up to us and said that she was raised LDS and handed us a check
saying that dinner was on her. It was so sweet. Blessings falling out of
heaven already in this area. So come to find out (after we got a ward
list) She is one of the part member families in our ward. We went and
visited her on Sunday night and she is wonderful. She has her
patriarchal blessing and said that she wants to start trying a little
bit more to get her husband to come back to church. It is great because
the senior couple that lives in the same apartment complex as her has
been talking with her and she recognizes that heavenly father is probably
trying to tell her something. One thing that I love from all of this is
that Heavenly Father knows each of us individual and knows the desires
and intents of our hearts so well. He will always prepare a way for us
to repent and comeback to him. What a loving Father we have!
So this email is a lot shorter then all of my other ones.. We went
fishing today..and y'all would've been so so proud of me. I caught the
biggest fish very first and it was a catfish! oh yes I did. :) Here are
many pictures from our adventures this week.
Also great this week is I learned now to mow a lawn..yes you better
believe I did .Dad when I get home this will be my job. You would've
been proud. :)
Well When we went to church for the first time on
Sunday we had a very warm welcome from the ward. Brandon Ward is a great
ward and I am excited to be able to work with them and serve them. We
have a lot of damage control to do from past elders, yet we are excited
and up for the challenge. my current companion, Sister Platt is a temple
square sister and she will only be here for 3 more weeks. I am sad about
this as we are getting a long really well..but things will all work
out.
Well this is the story on all things Flowood and Clinton! I have
sent you my new address mom..so please pass it on! if not the mission
office one works alright for now.
I hope y'all have a wonderful week!
Love and Live.-Sister Urie
