And Happy Father's Day to all the other dads! None of us would be who we are without you!
This
week flew by. This transfer flew by. This is our 5 week transfer and
this is the fifth week. I can't even tell you how fast it's gone. We
have Zone Conference this week and then a new Mission President next
week. 😮
This past week was good! On Tuesday,
Sister A** and I had exchanges with our Sister Training Leaders, Sisters
D** and H**. I went with Sister H** and we had a blast. She is
so sweet and I learned a lot from her. Cool fact: One of Jackie Chan's
houses is in their area and we were so close to it! We tried to find the
road that goes up to it, but couldn't. Everyone needs the gospel and we
wanted to bring it to him!
We've been working a
lot with the members and the youth. The youth are amazing and are
constantly doing missionary work which is incredible. One of our young
women actually asked us yesterday to come out with us so she is coming
out with us tomorrow!
Sister A and I have come
to be close friends with a group of 10-11 yr old girls. There are about
five of them and they live in our complex so we see them all the time.
This past week J**, one of the girls, asked us for a Book of Mormon
for herself and a Spanish one for her mom. That night we were able to
teach them a little bit about Jesus Christ, the Restoration, and the Book
of Mormon. It was a cool experience. All of them wanted a copy. A
couple days later J** told us that she was halfway through (the
children's version) and that her mom was reading her Spanish copy and
they both loved it. We were able to meet her mom who asked us to teach
J**! The only thing is she will be gone for a month in **. We are
hoping we can at least start to teach her before she leaves. She is the
sweetest little girl and has such a big heart. We love her and the rest
of our friends, too!
Our P-day ends at 2
today....because Sister A** and I get to go to the temple!!! We get
to go in our bday months and Sister A's birthday was June 6! We are so
thankful to the family who is taking us. Brother S** is taking
off work to watch the kids so Sister S** can take us. We cried when
they texted us offering. They are so sweet and we are just so thankful!
Temples are such a blessing. It is our way to do missionary work any
time we can. Please take advantage of the temple. My calling is to work
with the living and I can't tell you how much the temple blesses us and
those we are standing in place of. Your call as a member of the Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is to work with the living and the
dead. There are people waiting on BOTH sides for you specifically to
find and/or help them gain salvation.
I hope
this week is a good one for you all. I have finished marking the
attributes of Christ in the BoM and am now marking every time it says
"heart" or "love". It is stressed so much that everything begins with
your heart. I hope that we all are working on fully placing our hearts
with the Savior.
xoxo, Sister Groneman
I forgot a story!! Sister A** and I found a HUGE spider on our
counter one night. Our DL and the other Elders in our District live in
our complex so we called them to come kill it. They are the best Elders
ever! They came ready to win the battle!! The spider was killed and
Sister A** and I are very thankful:)
