Weekly Update 10/19/15
It was a good week!
Monday night we exchanged with our Sister Training Leaders-
Hermanas Fifita and Mohr and sister Lundeen.
They’re in a 3pack since one sister went home and things got
rearranged. But I went to Bellingham
with Hermana Fifita and sister Lundeen and sister Loertscher stayed here with
Hermana Mohr. It was a lot of fun being
in a 3 pack for a day! Since they’re in
both the Bellingham Spanish branch and English family ward, we had some lessons
In Spanish and some in English. And just
like my last Spanish exchange, I do not speak the language at all. But it was a great day there and the sisters
had a great day here!
And since we had Zone Conference in Bellingham on Wednesday,
we actually exchanged for 2 nights, and switched back Wednesday morning at the
conference. That was fun. I’d never done a 2 night exchange
before. During the conference, Sister
Bonham instructed and explained how our life on Earth is so short, but the
decisions we make here affect the rest of our eternity. Just like the time we are on our missions is
so short, yet it affects the rest of our lives.
So we need to make good decisions now so they are not hard later. And she committed us to a few specific
things for later in life. Decide them
now so we don’t have to make a tough choice later:
-
Choose to go to the Saturday evening adult session of
Stake Conference. And Stake Conference
Weekend is not a weekend off.
-
Choose now to listen to General conference with all
your heart.
-
Accept and magnify all of your callings.
President Bonham also spoke on D & C 62:3 and how those
angels are not necessarily stranger angels, but our loved ones. Our ancestors and close spirit friends. They are proud of us and are watching over
us. And he is excited for when (in a
long way down the road) he and Sister Bonham get to be angels watching over
us. I love the Bonhams!
Friday- Happy Birthday
Hermana Hansen!!
We had a lesson with Bill and he is awesome. He is so excited for his baptism on Saturday
10/24! He came to church yesterday and
he didn’t even sit by us in Sacrament, but by his fellow shippers. Then when Sacrament was over, we were just
standing there waiting for him to finish talking to people so we could walk
with him to class, and he came up to us and said, “did you need me for
something”? We said no and he said, “okay,
then I’m going to go to class.” He doesn’t
even need us anymore! Saturday is going
to be such a great day!
Today we just finished playing Settlers of Catan with our
district for our Pday activity. I lost… No surprise there! Ha Ha Ha I still love that game even though I never
win!
Love, Sister Tennant
