Bekkaz Lemon Zest Blog: Letter and Pics of the day

This week has been a GOOD one!! we Had to work alot at the visitor center cuz one of the sisters got surgery so she is gone so we had to pick up some shifts and we worked ALL day on saturday. That was a really long day. But we also had great success! We had $ invesigators come to church yesterday and 3 that want to get baptised! but they bes experience is that one of the girls we are teaching she is 11 and her mom has been less active pretty much her whole adult life but she wants her daughter to be baptized so she asked us to come over and teacher her daughter. While we were teaching we could tell that the mom luara new alot of this and hsd been teaching authumn this her whole life so it was great!! we asked them to come to church with us on suanday and the both came!! The best part was that durring sarament meeting laura started to get really emotional (in a good way) we didnt get a chance to really talk to her about it but we will at our next appointment. I think SHe got scared and was not expecting to feel all that emotion and spirit while at church. She has forgotten what its like to be there... how amazing it is. We just love this family!

So on friday we had dinner at a members house and they have a farm!! one of the perks of Idaho farm land! (our whole area is farm land) But they took us out and we got to feed cows and hold turkeys! It was so fun!! lol i will include some pictures that were taken. We also found some Kittens this week. Two little ornge ones but then the next morning we were trying to find them a home and took them to our neighboors house and sister keith was not holding on to hers real well and it jumped out and ran away! but then a couple days latter we found out another neighboor had found her and we also gave them the other one we found. but we had a cat for a couple of days and by the end we were so sick of it! lol but whats funny is that the day after we found them we had clean checks and we had to tell them we found cats adn had cats in the house. We passed our clean check but then later found out that we had the cleanest house they had EVER inspected! lol we one the clean checks for our zone and got a free one month supply of TP! lol good thing cuz we were almost out. So not only did we pass and win, but we passed a won WITH CATS!!! lol

So im slmost at my 2 month mark!! only 15 more to go. Time is going bye so fast! As a VC sister we only serve for 17 months hence the 15 more months. But Its so true time goes bye fast! I cant belive Elisabeth and taila anre already in the MTC!! Missions are so fun! but also so hard! I dont think i really understood how hard a mission really was untill i got out here. Being a VC sister is really hard to and it makes us really mad when ppl or other elders and sisters try telling us that our mission is easy. The way i had it explained to me is that we have double the work but half the time. We still have our own area we cover and are expected to get the same numbers as everyone else but with onlt half the time as all the other missionaries and we also have to learn all the church facts that ppl are gonna ask at the visitor center about temples and the church(good thing i love history and facts). Its really hard to keep track of everything, all 3 of the areas we cover. Plus i didnt know how much paper work went into being a missionary! holy cow! so many reports and such! so its just super frustrating when people think our mission is easy.

Well thats all for now! I love being a missionary! Trust in the lord and alow him to mold you in to the person he knows you can become

Love Sister Lemons
