Hello Everyone!
This week was a long one but a good one. Summer is holding out as long as she can here in California so yesterday was a lovely 108 degrees. Today is supposed to be 110 degrees.
*chugs some more water*
Highlights!
- On Tuesday, Sister Olsen and I drove up to... EL DORADO! Oh man that was such a throwback! We had Mission Leadership Council at one of the buildings up there because El Dorado county approved meeting indoors in larger groups. It was fun getting to see so many missionaries in person! We were able to set some really awesome goals for this month and I am so pumped to see miracles this transfer! Whoohoo!
- Kinda sad but pretty much all of our progressing friends weren't able to meet with us this past week... BUT! They all want to meet this week so we are excited for that! We also were able to make a new friend! Her name is Kathy (she is the one we helped water plants with). We felt impressed to call her the other night and share a scripture with her and now she wants us to read more scriptures with her over the phone! Super big YAY!
- We did some more service this week (and by service I mean canning). Sister Olsen, Sister Finlinson, and I have decided that we are now professional canners and should start a business. We helped one super awesome member can Apricot Pineapple Jam and then we helped our favorite part member family (Tish and Alex) with canning tomato sauce and tomato chunks. It was honestly so much fun! Stay tuned for next week because we get to help another ward member with canning grape juice!
- The three of us went to Folsom this week (whoohooo! more road trips). While in Folsom, we got Costa Vida!!! I also got to go to the doctors which isn't nearly as cool as Costa Vida but whatever.
- We started doing a "book club" as a zone for this transfer in order to help us prepare for General Conference next month. (Holy cow, as I was writing that last sentence, it just clicked that General Conference is in less than 30 days! That is so crazy! We are all so pumped for Conference and to listen to President Nelson!!!) Anyways, we started a book club and it was SO GOOD! We all read two talks from the April 2020 Conference (The Finest Homes and Spiritually Defining Memories) and we discussed them. The Spirit was super strong and I learned so much!
So yes, a busy but great week! If you all would pray for our friends Chris and Sandra, that would be so good. We haven't been able to meet with them for a couple of weeks (boo covid) but we are hoping to be able to meet with them this week! Also pray for Karen and Alex! Please let me know if there is anyone you would like me to pray for! Prayers of faith are truly so powerful and I know that the Lord listens and answers them!
I love you all so much! Have an absolutely wonderful week and don't forget!
GOD LOVES YOU SO MUCH!
Lots of Love,
Sister Ferrin
