Bouncy Pancakes, Best Day Yet.....
That night was Ward Movie Night, and
we were watching the Testaments, so we were allowed to go! (We can only watch
movies produced by the Church) So we show up, and it's all just us
missionaries. Us, the Jefferson’s, and the elders were the only ones to show
up. No one else came. So instead we played games and participated in their
family home evening. We played catch phrase and then shared a scripture. It was
actually really fun.
Tuesday we had interviews! Our zone met at the stake center
and President Bonham came and talked to us for about an hour, and then one by
one, we all went out and met with him. It was only a couple minutes long and we
didn't really talk about a whole lot, but it was nice getting to know him a
little better. He's a fantastic mission president, and I'm thankful for all of
his and Sister Bonham's hard work.
One night, we didn't have anyone
feeding us, so we decided to make something ourselves, and we went for German
Pancakes. The kind you bake. When we pulled it out of the oven, it looked like
a foam mattress pad. Not appetizing at all. But we ate part of it, and then
since it had a funny texture, I dropped a square of it on the floor, and it
bounced. IT BOUNCED. We are not meant to be cooks. Our poor future children.
Good mission memories though!
Our Sister Training Leaders gave a lesson about ourselves
being converted and how we have this power and authority that comes with our
calling. Our mission scripture is 3 Nephi 5:13 "Behold, I am a disciple of
Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I have been called of Him to declare his word
among his people, that they might have everlasting life." They had a
couple people, myself included, stand up and recite it, then we all stood and
said it. It was really powerful. And I was thinking about my ministerial
license. It says " This certifies that the bearer, Sister Shelby Noelle
Tennant, who is in full faith and fellowship with The Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints, has been duly called and set apart as a missionary of the
Church and as such has authority to preach the principles of the gospel. We
invite all people to heed her message." I know this gospel is true and I
love how I have been set apart and everyone is invited to hear the message that
I and all other missionaries are working so hard to share!
Saturday was such a good day. Probably the best day of my
mission so far! We were smiling all day long! We met a new investigator in the
morning and then were busy with appointments for the rest of the day. It's days
like that that make the whole mission so worth it. We even stopped in and met one
of our investigators, Otila at her work. We were supposed to have a lesson with
her on Tuesday, but because of interviews going so late, we didn't make it, so
we wanted to go see her. She is so cute and us stopping in really made her feel
happy and special. We love Otila!
It's been a solid week and the weeks continue to fly by!
