Wow what a wild week in the life of Sister
Smoot! To start off I got to attend the baptism of Megan in Madison!!! Wow what
a spiritual and unforgettable experience.
So this is how it happened, in our mission we
had a rule change and we are no longer allowed to go to the baptism of those in
previous areas :( I was super sad well the Lord is so good and with my new
calling as Sister training leader trainer (sister APs?) we are to go on
exchanges with the Sister Training Leaders in the mission. Well that means i
got to go on exchnages with Sister Terry in Madison and it was over the weekend
of Megan's baptism!!!
She had no clue I was coming and when she saw
me running to give her a hug she yelled out, "YESS!!! YOU CAME!!!!"
her baptism was very special and the spirit was so strong. Afterwards we asked
how she felt and she said "I feel so peaceful" i love the peace this
gospel brings, especially when we are doing the things good asks us too! GOD IS
SOOO GOOD TO US!! man, he loves us💛
Being back in Madison felt so good, I got to
see the Rodriguez family again and CJ(he's 7 years old) was so cute! He saw me
come up to the door and started jumping around and ran up and tackled me to
give me a hug. They are forver family to me, as well as many other people I
have come to know on my mission.
So many miracles happened her in Marlbourough
this week as well!
-SO BIG!!! Update on the woman that called
brother Hutchins. So her dad passed away about 10 years ago, he was a member
and in 1987 he started writing a journal for her with all of his Spirtiual
things and left it with someone with the instruction of "when the spirit
prompts you to do so, deliver this to my daughter Lauren". Turns out she
received this book about 2 weeks and that's why she reached out to the
missionaires. We met her and her 15 year old daughter this week and it was
incredible!
-We are teaching Ashley and her boyfriend is
a member, they are stellar!! They came to church with their 4 kids yesterday
and had a grand time. They are super into health & fitness which means we
teach them the gospel and in return we are learning a lot of healthy tips...
week #1 of eating healthy was a success! Even with all the cookies and desserts
we were offered (; #missionarylife🤘
-so this is a funny one, yesterday we were
out knocking some doors and we had just knocked on the door of a guy named Sean
and he wasn't interested. Well about 45 minutes later we were back at our car
and we saw him chipping away at his ice on his lawn and offered to help and we
started talking a little more, became buddies, talked about trucks, he asked if
he could take a picture with us, and then offered us to come back and give us a
cup of coffee (; funny part is..
sister young didn't remember Sean from the
first time we met him knocking on his door and that's why she went and talked
to him while he was chipping away at his ice😂 spirit brings things to your
remeberance and I guess sometimes helps you forget things as well (;
- We didn't get the chance to see David for a
lesson this week but he came over for dinner at a members and in the middle of
our message Sister Hutchins went and grabbed a paper that has a picture of
Jesus and it says "we are family" and wrote her number on the back
and said we are all family in this church and are here to help eachother
through the struggles we face. Then Sister Clayton and Sister Cook wrote down
their numbers as well and gave it to David. I love seeing the support given to
those we teach! BLESSINGS<3
-random fact: went on a field trip on the APs
van to Mission leadership Council this week and that was a blast. Always learn
so much at pur mission meetings! We have received further information that we
don't have to set a baptismal date on our second lesson and can do it as the
spirit prompts, so that's pretty aweosme! So muxh change.. Who is ready for
more at General Conference?!? I know I am!!🙋♀️ 2 week left!
- last funny fact: the other night it was
about 8 pm and we showed up at a Haitians house and she had dinner set up for
us..FULL ON FRIED FISH. EYEBALLS AND ALL!!!!! It was watching me👀🙄 it was so
scary, I didn't know what to do.. needless to say we took it to go.
Well that's all folks🤠 hope you all had a
lovely week in this journey we are all on together! Let us all press forward
with a steadfastness in Christ 💛
Keep on keepin on. 143
