Hey hey hey, how is it in the lower 48?
That's what we Alaskans call y'all down south.
Soooo where to begin?? So Sister Morrison is
from Long beach California and Sister Dill is from Idaho Falls. Totally a
cowgirl that lived on a farm.
So it doesn't rain EVERYDAY. But it's overcast
almost everyday, and rains like 5 out of 7 days. Little info about Juneau, it's
about 550 miles from the mission office in Anchorage, and Canada is about 10
miles away from us. There are a ton of polys here and they're so cool.
Our ward is the Nugget Falls ward and lemme
tell you, they are the bomb.com. Seriously, coolest ward of my life. All super missionary minded, which is why
there's so much success here. We get about 15 member findings a week, which is
super cool!! Also, our bishop, bishop Levitt is off the wall incredible.
He was a missionary here and about a year ago he and his wife had a strong
impression they needed to move here. So they dropped everything in Utah and
moved here about 6 months ago. 3 months later he was made bishop, and about 2
weeks ago he was a huge help in baptizing a family that the sisters taught. He
said that that was the reason he moved here, and it's just incredible how
awesome he is.
So people here in AK are super crazy and
hilarious. All the houses are ghetto and made of wood because brick
would grow too much moss and mold I guess. They are all super mountain
men, free spirits and all natural. Here's a typical lesson with a less active.
Sitting on a nasty couch as 3 screaming children run rampant. One boy pulls off
him pants and underwear and starts running around naked. One chucks a stuffed
dinosaur at our heads and the mom is trying to serve us lemonade, not even
trying to contain the children. So a stripping lemonade party in Jurassic park.
Very normal. Also I'm being devoured by mosquitoes. I might go insane. It looks
like I have a disease. Any other questions??? Ask away. And write me letters!!
Packages are also so great.
Ok, miracle of the week. The other day a member
told us to drop by her friends house who wasn't a member. So we did. She wasn't
interested and said if she wanted to know more she could ask her Mormon
friends. So we didn't think much of it and left. Later that week someone told
us that that lady had been reading in the bible earlier that day and read
something about 3 sisters that would meet her. And lo and behold the trio of sister
showed up at her door. SUPER COOL. So that right there could be why I'm in a
trio.
Thought of the week:
How much thought do you put into the Sabbath
day? We know there are things we're not supposed to do, but how often do
we remember what we are supposed to do? Don't get me wrong, sunday naps
are the best. But maybe just for 30 minutes. We have been told not to
abstain from certain things on sunday, but be feeding ourselves spiritually all
throughout the day. visiting people, studying, listening to conference talks,
reading the friend and ensign, all that good stuff. And also, talk about
what you learned in church at dinner. Then, talk about it through the week.
Sometimes sunday just stays on sunday. But we learn what we learn so it can
help us throughout the week. And then SHARE WHAT YOU LEARN. I'm telling ya,
that's the way to successful missionary work. We don't find investigators from
tracting. It's all from member missionary work.
You can do it!
You all are the best. keep being awesome and
try not to miss me too much. haha Love ya!!
