Hey everyone!
So this week was pretty good! We had a few awesome things happen that we are pretty excited about at the moment. So I think I will just go through the week day by day and tell you all what happened!
Monday- we had district pday! It was really fun! We all dressed up like chav's and went bowling. And I actually did sort of OK (I'm usually an awful bowler haha). And it was tougher because we didn't have the bumpers up or anything! #win #killinit and then we went back to the church and played board games like usual. It was really funny walking to the bowling ally in our chav clothes because we just blended in with everyone around us. So no one was like walking around us or looking at us weird or avoiding us. Haha it was such a strange feeling! And being in trousers in public, man...it felt so weird! Like I seriously almost felt immodest! Haha
Tuesday-so we went out of town to see a recent convert named Sian who is the best! Well we had to take a bus out there. So we went and had our lesson and when we came back to the bus stops sign said that the bus would be there in like 10 minutes so we were thinking 'oh perfect!' Well that bus never came. And then the sign said there would be another one in about 15 or 20 minutes so we were like 'OK, we will catch that one.' But that bus never came. Then there was another one that was supposed to come in three minutes but after about 20 more minutes we figured the sign was lying. Well long story short- an hour and a half later our bus never ever came! Another bus came and we just got on even though it wasn't even our bus and we had to pay again since it was a different companies bus. But at that point we didn't even care. At least it was out of the rain and wind! Haha so I guess you can't always trust the busses. We were so frustrated after that we went to McDonald's haha!
Wednesday- transfers! Sister Larsen and I stayed the same! I finally am with a companion for more than one transfer! Seems like ages since I have stuck with a companion...or in an area haha. But I am glad to be staying in Cardiff. It's a great place so I'm pretty happy. It's so weird as time goes by that all my friends from the mission are going home! And at the end of this next transfer a ton of people go home that I am close to. Dang, time needs to slow down!!
Thursday-we had a couple cool lessons and district meeting. So pretty much just a normal day.
Friday-we were out on the street talking to people all day long! We had two appointments in the evening so that is good. Both of them went pretty well. We taught Carlos again. Everyone pray for him! He is amazing! But he needs to find answers by reading the Book of Mormon and praying so prayers for him would be greatly appreciated! And then we taught a really sweet guy named Simon. We put him on a date as well so he is doing good.
Saturday-we did service for this awesome recent convert named Lisa. She is legit! We helped her clean her house and then she made us lunch. Oh man, she is really so nice! She kept thanking us as if we had done some amazing act, when in reality she was so nice and so helpful to both sister Larsen and I that we should have been thanking her. She has the best decision making skills in the world. Like when faced with a choice she just really puts the options out there for what they are and then decides. And she has such great faith in those choices. And then she has faith that if it does happen to be the wrong choice then Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ will be with her every step of the way to sort it out and make it right again. This is something I definitely need to work on because I know I over think everything and stew on choices for a crazy amount of time, when really I just need to look at the options for what they are and go for it. So I'm practicing that this transfer!
Sunday- a fast day! I had been waiting for this for ages! I think this was the first time in my life that I was excited to go without food haha 😀 well it was an excellent sabbath with a lot of great testimonies. The theme through church that I really noticed was how Jesus Christ and our faith in Him can really help us through our trials. This is so true! Faith in our Saviour helps us with everything!! There really is no down side when we trust in Him and let Him help us. I was really grateful for the amazing Spirit I felt. I love when you have those Sunday's where you come out of church and honestly feel renewed and ready to take on the week. I needed this one, it was such a tender mercy!
So that was pretty much my week. Blessings every single day! I'm excited for this new transfer and I know we will see some amazing things happen here in Cardiff. Well I love you all! Have a great week!
Love,
Sister Rasmussen
