6th Letter 3.25.13

Ok world heres the scoop

 

Missionary work is hard work. This week by far has had to be the hardest!! Lets see People here are very discouraging and hopeless! I love Them SOOO much!! But it hurts to hear things about our investigators. This weekend me and sister rappleye cried a lot. we just felt so alone in this work. as if Heavenly Father wants us to do this great work and we want to do this work, but... everyone else doesnt want us to! so sad!! right?? Me and Sis R thought we were doing pretty good right? than someone put in a complaint about us sister missionaries in milton. IT HURT LIKE CRAP!! when president called us and told us. it hurt a lot!!! i cried and cried. We are both new! we dont know what we're doing wrong! and everyone tells us we're doing great work! and then someone says this? whaat?? So i shut down. I kept all my emotions in the next few days, no no no dont do that. because than i was sad! so everyone thought i was sad, i really was but i tried to reign it in. gaah sorry this email probably wont make much sense, there are people talking around me, the library is closed so were at a members place. they're nice enough to let us use there computer :) anywho!!  Why were people being so mean to us! really we were trying so hard and giving it our best but it seemed like it wasnt good enough!! so we prayed a lot and cried a lot and then we said you know what! we're doing our best!! we can always get better!! we created a plan to help us not think too much. ( we sing primary songs and make up songs. as soon as we've got a full one ill send it to ya.) so all this happened within friday and saturday. so sunday, we went to visit a less-active with a member. the member drove us in there camero? hawt right?? and than we rode our bikes to church. we were running late and then one family we're working with pulls up in there van and asks us if we want a ride! ( we were 10 mins away and church started 5 mins ago) we said yes! but our bikes wouldnt fit, and than tada! another member rolls up in their truck and said to throw our bikes in the back! MIRACLE!! we got to church on semi time!!! but then... when we walked in, another ward was leaving and they were like Sister Missionaries!!!! we love you! on time i see again, because he said if we're not on time than we're not doing our job. we were walking down the hall and i felt like a celebrity!! everyone wanted to shake my hand and talk to me! it was so amazing!!! so that made us feel so much better about ourselves. there are people here that want us.... not that they have a choice hahaha. so after church we went over to visit a less active family, and the mom sister combs is amazing! she is my mom here. (sorry mom) we vented to her, and she helped us realize that satan is the one to blame!! that we're doing our best, and we can improve and beat satan!! he is amazingly good at his job, i hate him... he's a jerk!!! and than the elders called us and told us that we were doing a good job and not to worry about what others say. it was weird i think that our elders are mean sometimes! haha ok maybe not mean but not as gentlemany. but these last few days when i had shut down and such they were super nice, going out of their way to compliment us and how we're doing, giving us rides because it was our bike week. Through a hard trial, Heavenly Father has blessed us and helped lift us up even more!! I think that if sis R wasnt my companion, i would have stayed shut down.

 

This week we gave Ray Ray away to the elders, hardest thing ever! He is ours not theirs! its better for them, but i hope they work as hard with him as we were. We were pushing him and he was growing so much! so i hope he continues!! ugh!! but we still see him all the time! OHOHOHOHOH!! This weekend is our baptism!! Joey!! yayay!!! saturday at 11!!! :) he is a child record so its not a gator or a convert... ahahaa!! im soo excited! he is sooo excited! and its Easter! yay!!! sorry i dont really know what to say in this letter. The gospel is true! We have to work hard to progress! we can always get better! When people doubt you or critisize you, or even if you do it to yourself! just think Christ had this happen to Him!! and Christ is Fetchin amazing!! So talk to Him and see how he did it! He will tell ya through him and the gospel everything is possible!!!   Hmm My challenge for you this week is to have more specific prayers! Specific prayers lead to specific answers which leads to specific miricles! I love you all!!! Thanks for the support, i dont think I could do this without your support!  I am recieving your prayers and thoughts! oh btw i found a giant black bee... :) its in the house waiting to be sent home! muahaha I love you all! go watch conference! dont fall asleep!  Happy easter!! This easter is going to be AWESOME!! haha Remember Christ!!

 

Love

Sis Milne
