Hello everyone! We ended up deciding to go to the temple next week so normal pday this week.
This week has been a little different than my typical weeks so let's get into it.
-Monday for pday we had a cereal breakfast with the sisters in our zone and then played some games with our district.
-Tuesday we had interviews with President Vance. We got to go to the mission home and had some cookies as we waited so no complaining here.
-Wednesday we had new missionary training and it was really good, I learned a lot! I also got to see Sister Hendrix! I love her!
-Thursday it was my birthday (thank you everyone for the birthday wishes). I got to call my fam in the morning and was able to visit lots of members. We played scrabble with a sweet old lady in our ward (Pauline) and I am SO bad at scrabble, luckily we weren't keeping score. We had a sweet spiritual thought with her on faith. We also made some visits and one seems sincerely interested so prayers his way cause we have almost no friends right now.
Sister Esplin and I made a thing where we draw a paper from a bowl everyday to make our days more interesting. On Thursday we drew, "knock blue houses" and it did make our day quite a bit more interesting, so I recommend to any missionaries who need a switch up.
-Friday is when things took a turn. My comp had a bad reaction to a medication she was taking (she's okay) so we've been in the hospital since then. Hopefully she'll be discharged soon. And shout out to the STL's who drive me to and from the hospital everyday and stay the night with me.
-Sunday I went to the STL's ward which is Spanish so it was an interesting church service.
-Pday we're just hanging out at the hospital so I'll have lots of time to talk with my fam.
Spiritual thought: I wanted to share some scriptures from my little lesson with Pauline. We watched the Book of Mormon video for Alma 32-33 (which i recommend).
In Alma 33:22-23 it states,
"22 If so, wo shall come upon you; but if not so, then cast about your eyes and begin to believe in the Son of God, that he will come to redeem his people, and that he shall suffer and die to atone for their sins; and that he shall rise again from the dead, which shall bring to pass the resurrection, that all men shall stand before him, to be judged at the last and judgment day, according to their works.
23 And now, my brethren, I desire that ye shall plant this word in your hearts, and as it beginneth to swell even so nourish it by your faith. And behold, it will become a tree, springing up in you unto everlasting life. And then may God grant unto you that your burdens may be light, through the joy of his Son. And even all this can ye do if ye will. Amen."
It's through our faith in the Atonement of Jesus Christ that we can receive all of the blessings from it. The more we nourish our testimonies of the Savior and His Atonement, the closer we will be with him and the more comfort we will receive.
Love you all!
-Sister Kapp
