Sorry, no photos this week, can't use the USB here.
This week we were visited by Elder Evans of the 70. Something I really got from the conference was to keep moving forward, don't stay where you're at or get lazy or give up where you are right now. WE've got to keep moving forward our whole missions, our whole lives, we can't just stop progressing, we can't forget our purpose here. It was good. I've been feeling really worn out from everything we've been doing lately, we've been working really hard, but this was just what I needed, a nice refresher. Elder Evans will be here in NOvember for a mIssion tour, so I'm excited to get some more guidance for how I can make my mission even better. We've seen a lot of miracles this week. Someone from Madagascar just stopped us on the street and wanted to come to our English class, turns out he's been meeting with the other missionaries on the other side of Solo. He then went to our Ward Night activity and went to church. So cool! We also go to the track every morning. One of the athletes there just said "Hey, I'm coming to your church this week ya" and he came! Amazing Amazingness! Our one Ibu that wants to get baptized is progressing really well and she's totally ready to get baptized next month. The Elders have each baptized someone in the last week. We've met some awesome people on the street and many of our investigators are doing really well, they truly want to learn. There have also been some challenges this week, both for us and those we teach, but we won't focus on those. Let's just remember that the Lord will help us in our work. Whether that's as a missionary or a parent or a student or worker. No matter what we do, as long as we're striving to bless the lives of those around us, we will be blessed, and we will see the hand of God in our lives and see others blessed through our efforts. Okay, you're all awesome! So out there and be hebat! Sister Stringham
