Okay, it's gonna be a short one this week because I had a lot to read through and respond to this week. Big news: we have a new roommate, Sis Madsen. She is awesome, and working with Sis Wall in Irondequoit. Sis Chatterton and I are still in Webster.
We are still focusing on "finding" in Webster, which basically means we don't have a lot of people to teach... yet. So we do a lot of door contacting. But it's good, we are working hard and cleaning out the area book and really searching for those people who have been prepared to hear the gospel. They are out there.
Since it's a new transfer, Sis Chatterton and I have undertaken "Operation Diligence." You hear about how you can be the happiest when you are working the hardest and being exactly obedient in all things. Well, we are trying it out. Not that we were disobedient before, but we are stretching ourselves more to do hard things, to be efficient, and to fit in contacting time every day. When we have the option to take the easy way out, we are refusing to take it. We are talking to more people each day, exercising harder in the mornings, and even making our beds every day :) It's affecting everything we do, and we are starting to understand what it means to be "delightfully exhausted." It is not easy; there is never a break. But we are finding joy in putting all of our hearts, mights, minds, and strengths into the Lord's work. And He is blessing us! We are seeing multiple small miracles each day. I am trying to take on an attitude of "zeal" towards the work, and it is going great. :)
That honestly is about all I have to report for the week. Happy Valentines Day!
