Hello Family,
How
are you all doing? It sounds like you have had a wonderful weekend. :)
Ya! for the fun times. I am so glad you were all able to relax for the
most part. hahah! Can I just say the 2 things I would like to do when I
get home....I know I have awhile but I want to prepare you all. hahah!! I
would like to do a family trip to the temple and a family movie day
where we go to the movies. I think that is adorable and amazing. It can
even be on different days. SO mark it in your calendars. I want to spend
all the time you all when I get home! :)
But I am here so let me update you on the hip happenings.
This
week was good. We had exchanges and I took over the area. It was so
nice and scary but the Sister Training Leader who was with me said
really nice things about me. :) She told me to stop beating myself
up...can you believe that I would do that! hahah yes of course. hahah!!!
So that is something I am working on. I also studied hope. Hope that
Heavenly Father knows what he is doing with me. Cause he does and he
knows! So I have been working on that aspect.
We
had a crazy weekend. Things got pretty heated in ward council this
week. Like really heated. Ummm....curse words were said at us and bad
things happen. There has been contention here from the start, and we
didn't do anything wrong. They are upset at all of us. Any who it sent
my comp into a fit of tears and well i was blessed with stern eyes. Any
who, we went to church and made it through. Our president was notified
and actions were taken. We had another meeting with bishop last night
and worked through some things. There was a lack of trust with us as
missionaries from mistakes of past missionaries. So that caused so much
contention and miscommunication. It is interesting to see how Satan even
gets to the lords servants. Both sides. I don't tell you this to be
afraid or to be mad just to update you. The missionaries will work
through this and it will be alright. We pray for them and us for our
hearts to be soften. WE are not mad or upset. It is just frustrating
that the lack of communication and holding on to grudges ended so
harshly.
We heard from President that we will be emergency transferred from Florence this week. so please send all of those love letters you have all written me to the mission home. HAHAH! Are
investigators will go to the Elders. It will be alright. We are not
being transferred out because we cant deal with the situation, we
resolved most of it. Or that that the work isn't progressing. it is
because our mission president is inspired. he cares for us. Also the
mission we will be closing 23 areas because the wave of missionaries are
leaving this summer. So he was going to take us out at the end of the
transfer and he was like I feel like you should leave now. We also
prayed about it and we felt that was the right thing. We are not sure
when it will happen but sometime this week. We might be comps and we
might not he said to us you will never hear me say this again but if you
could stay together would you? and we both yelled YES! He said I will
take to the Lord and he will decide for us. :)
So
that has been weekend/my Sunday. Today we are going to hopefully go sit
on the beach and have some fun. HAHAAH!!! We have been blessed with
each other and blessed to be in the area. We are both willing to do what
the the Lord wants of us and since he said time to go it is time for us
to leave this beautiful area. But all will work out. We have faith in
him and hope we know he knows what he is doing with us. :)
Sooooo... that is my life. hahahah!!! :) My mission is full of crazy crazy weird experiences. And I love it!
I
love you all. READ your scriptures and go to the temple this week. And
pray for your enemies and don't beat yourself up! You are amazing
wonderful children of God. And I am happy to call you MINE!
Love you all.
Love,
Sister Rasmussen
1-2-3 Families forever
