Hey hey! This week has been AWESOME! We have had so much fun this week doing the Lords work! I think almost everyday we have laughed more that we walked! Haha...it was wonderful!
We have had a great week this week serving others! Elder Critchfield
was sick last week, so him and Elder Miller were unable to attend our awesome zone activity! So, we decided to call them up and sing popcorn
popping to them to cheer them up. Haha...I think it worked! I wrote notes to all the members of our district thanking them for their examples. We decorated the car of one of members who is a recent
convert and feeds us allllllll the time (Paul Nardella). I am heading up a video project for a departing Elder in our district (Elder Davenport). I have served with him almost my entire mission and now he
is heading home. So I asked all of the missionaries in our district to make a video for him. It will be memorable! This elders companion is
having a hard time with some things happening at home now(Elder Reid). So, we got a puzzle and wrote a message on the back of it for him and are having the district members sign it. We are trying our best to
serve others, missionaries, members, and non members alike. I feel missionaries often get forgotten about, especially by other missionaries. So I am making a point to reach out to others and make
an impact on them. I have been so touched by missionaries who have taken the time to reach out to me, so I thought I would make it part of my nature to pay it forward. I am loving it!
For our zone activity we went up into the Monticello area at a members
home! We had a campfire out of the lake! I loved sliding around on the ice, roasting marshmallows and starbursts, watching others ice fish,
and wearing JEANS! Haha...good times!So Weyant is a big name here....it is a family who colonized the town or something! I am pretty sure we are family....like positive! I was ECSTATIC to find this out when I first came here! I have never met someone with my name before besides my family. When I was doing family history before my mission, I found that most of my Weyandt line had lived in NY! There is even a Weygnant Hill in our area! I can't wait to run into another Weyandt! Anyone want to go google where some of them live and send me their addresses? I can teach them about family history :D
Just yesterday we went tracting on Weyant drive! I was soooooo excited to do this! Those who answered listened and were very kind, but all had their religion. It was awesome to bear testimony to them and share
my faith with them. What a wonderful experience to talk with these amazing people about our mutual faith in our creator! I love Christians!
We have not seen much "success" in our area since I have been here, but I am feeling the success! My heart is binding with these peoples hearts. They are so loving and so willing to let me into their minds and hearts. I love them for that! As i strive to love these people the way The Lord does, miracles will happen! I am so excited for that time to come! There is soooo much potential here in this area! We just have to cultivate it!
I love this work and I love being a missionary!i love my companion and the wonderful times I am having with her! We have fun while still getting the work done! I am learning a lot from her, and for that I am grateful! This is Gods work! I know it! Hurrah for Israel!
Love Always,
Sister Weyandt
