I felt that I should say something cool in another language but... ya know Heavenly Father knows me enough to not have me in a foreign language mission. Haha So this is my first real week as a missionary! Get ready for the mother load! Holy Cannooollly!
So first of all getting here was quite an experience! Me and 23 other Elders. The Holmes, my mission presidents, said it was quite an overwhelming site to see that many missionaries walking towards them! So awesome! It was incredible! I felt of the spirit so strongly right when I stepped off the plane and I know that it is because this is where I am supposed to be! I am so excited for all that is to come! I got my companion the first night I was here and that is incredible! She is soo awesome! Sister Bishop is absolutely the sweetest and most in tune with the spirit girl I have ever met! Other than myself of course! haha just kidding. I know that we are going to get along great! She is this quiet, sweet girl who seems so kind that I am afraid to say something that will mess up her... uhh perfectness? haha She is a wonderful trainer though and you can just tell people love her wherever we go!
Well, the first night we got straight out to tracting! It was incredible! It is crazy we literally got dropped off and went straight to work. I haven't even been able to unpack yet! haha I am hoping that I will be able to do that today though. Oh my goodness life is so awesome! I forgot my journal and all the things that I was going to write about so expect a little more detailed email next week.
I just have to tell you that my first week was a real success! So people are telling me that the first week of a missionary's mission so successful because of their strong faith and excitement. I am starting to believe it! They already had four investigators that I just kind of jumped into and then through finding people, we got another eight! So amazing right! So now I honestly go home every night filled with so much happiness and enough spirit to baptism all of Michigan! Baha Jk I am out here to help others become closer to there Heavenly Father and Christ and to convert. I can tell you that we are dong just that! Everyone seems to be progressing and that is huge! Ahhh I love this life! It honestly is the best feeling to have to spirit with you constantly! So I have to run but I love you all so dearly and I promise will write those who have written me ASAP!
This week really couldn't have gotten better! We had amazing experiences that are true miracles and I can't wait to see how they play out! I am really ecstatic about the work and I honestly am learning so much! I feel that through this work it is impossible not to grow closer to Christ or Heavenly Father! I am so excited for my relationship with them and how much stronger my testimony is! There is truth to the saying the more you bear it the more it grows. I thought I would be blessing others through the spirit but in reality they are blessing me! This next week is just going to be that much better. Now that I know how the system works this week i will be unstoppable! Thank you again for all that you do!
Au Revoir!
Love you all!
Love, Sister Sirstins
