Busy, Busy Week!
My dear family,
The wedding and baptism of
Jenelyn was successful! It is such a pleasure to watch people make such
important changes in their lives.
We had
exchanges this week. I learned from Sister T (who was also
assigned in Bago 2nd ward and was the companion of Sister O) that it
is important to OYM a lot, but it is also important to follow-up on the
people that we OYMed. As a result, Sister D and I have been
trying to improve our planning so that we are sure to plan time to
follow-up on specific people we OYMed.
I
read a wonderful article in the June 2015 Liahona this week called "How
we Preach of Christ in our Home." It was super inspiring. I loved that
the author said that we need to teach every principle not as an
individual principle but one that is very much tied to Jesus Christ. He
gave examples of questions we can ask in lessons to connect the
principles we teach to Him. For example, if you are teaching about
prayer, you could ask how and what Jesus prayed. It was just a really
inspiring article.
Interesting people I've met?
That's a hard question. I meet a lot of people every day. Another
person we met yesterday has been a man that we pass by about every
single night. Last night we finally OYMed him. He said that he's been
wondering when we were going to talk to him. He said that hopefully we
had OYMed him weeks ago! ...Oops. It turns out that he is a friend of
the bishop (who is really good at talking about the gospel to people by
the way) and we have an appointment to visit his family later tonight.
What did I eat for breakfast? I drank hot milo this morning. It is a
chocolate drink that is really common here. I also drank a lot of water
because it was fast Sunday yesterday and then finished up Sister D's breakfast of noodles and eggs. Yeah.
I love you all! Have a great week!
Sister Marriott
