This week has been a bit stressful. I have no idea what I am
supposed to be doing here. I feel completely ineffective and like I
shouldn't be here. I have just wanted to hide in a corner or just have
my mom and dad with me this past week. I miss you both so
much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just don't know what to do.
We were teaching a few but we ended up passing them to
the elders. which is frustrating because it seems like we are passing
all of our investigators to the elders and they are keeping all of
theirs who happen to be single women. Who would be much easier for us to
teach but oh well I guess. I really makes me start to wonder if I even
want to get married when I am home because these elders are on my nerves
and I don't even want to be around them. I feel like I am going to snap
at them every time!!! Which I know is not good but it is how I feel at
the moment. We have tried most of those ideas but they just don't seem
to even have faith that any one will show up or they just don't put any
action into them. I love this area and it just kills me that they don't
see their potential and it seems like they don't even want to at all.
Yes they do have small flats. The houses are
small as well. They are as big as the apartments that you live in. But
as a house.
Oh I wish I would have been able to go to the Tree
family reunion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There better be
one next year. Haha you do have good parents!!!1
We have done a
lot of service this past week. One of our investigators owns a Chinese
Chippy and has offered us Chinese food anytime we want because we are
out here helping people and she wants to help us. Well on Thursday
night she called us and told us that none of her drivers showed up.
Well we were at a members house getting ready to do service for her.
Well that member ended up helping us do service for Winnie. We ran food
for her chippy for 3 hours. It was so much fun and it gave Winnie a
chance to know that when we say that we will help her with anything we
really mean it, and she got to meet a member of the church.
I had to give a talk in church this week. It was on
missionary work. I mainly focused on Moroni 1:3 and Moroni 10. In Moroni
10 it was exhort 8 times. Exhort=Strongly encourage. So we are strongly
encouraged to do 8 things. It is a wonderful chapter. We also taught
the relief society lesson this week as well.
We sanded chairs and a table for a member. Painted
chairs for another member. Worked in the garden of the member who ran
food with us, and washed her car. It has a service filled week.
I love you tons
Sorry the email is short this week.
Love
Sister Ballatntyne
