Hi everyone!! My name is Michelle, I've been writing Ben so here's some bits from his letters to me
" I'm glad your talk went well it's a really good one. It's awesome that I could be there for you as well ;) (I spoke in sacrament and I brought his last letter with me to the stand with me. It made me feel more confident.) Time is just flying by before I know it I'll be home. Is it going by fast for you as well? (yes, it is) I don't like speaking in sacrament much, either, maybe we can sing duets instead!!
Recently I just wailed on like 5 other Elders playing Monopoly one p-day. They tried to gang up on me but I had too many properties.
In my area, there are two other sets of missionaries who live in the same city and a set of Elders and Sisters in the Newburg but close enough to hang out for p-day. They are all awesome but I think I got stuck in the weirdest in the district, but I think my companion did too ;) As of last week I'm not the youngest in my district! I haven't been transfered yet but I'm betting I will in 5 weeks!
It is so hard to get investigators to sacrament meeting here. You'll commit them, they aren't there, you find out why, fix the problem, recommit them, and they aren't there again. This week I got my first ever investigator to go to sacrament meeting!!! It was awesome and she said she enjoyed it!
(Now in each letter we give each other a scripture or a quotes or something) Here's a chapter that I read in my personal studies that me think: 3 Nephi: 19. I like how they are praying and Jesus, while he's waiting for them, went off to pray 3 times and then finally had o command them ti stop praying. It made me think if at the second coming will that happen again with us? The biggest thing I find cool is that they didn't repeat themselves. I know if i try to say a really long prayer it starts getting repetitive. Anyways, until letter next."

Thanks Michelle for sharing and giving me another glimpse in Ben's experiences!
ReplyDeleteIt's fun to know we can support each other, even from far away! I think giving talks in Sacrament Meeting is still scarey, will it ever get easier?! I doubt it!! :)
