Dear Haymond Family,
Okay so
the picture with the bird was funny cause we were stopping by our ward mission
leaders house (yes it was pretty late...) and they had their German shepherd
out and they had their parrot out! We didn't even notice until they said
something! So we had to get a pic with it :) I am in the Queen Creek east stake
(sorry I didn't clarify that sooner!) and I cover three wards but the ward
where the Burila’s friend is, they probably have Sister Dexter and Hutchinson
who live with us! If you got their name I could ask them!
And I can’t believe that school
starts in 3 weeks! The kids here are already starting to go back to school! How
weird...
My week
over all was okay. Not one of the best weeks. Although yesterday was pretty
awesome cause we met a lot of people and got to teach a lot of them. This week
we got 3 new investigators! THREE! It was right after we had started to fast
and pray for more too! Talk about a miracle!
I also
received a priesthood blessing on Friday from one of my ZL's Elder Brewer. I
will tell you later why I got one, but I know that my Heavenly Father lives and
that he loves me. I know that he can speak to me through his servants. I know
that the Power of the Priesthood is real. Miracles still do happen today and as
long as we are striving to live worthily and striving to look for those
miracles, they are all around us. So next week, in the email, I want to hear a
miracle from each of you that happened this week. It doesn't have to be huge! A
miracle is just something that you can see that come from God! :) Always be
looking for those.
Today
we went to top golf again as a zone and had even more fun! Someone bought us
little snacks and it is just so fun to be able to relax and have fun once a
week. It is hard though because we can’t listen to the music of the world, and
so when a song comes on that I used to like, I either a.) Try to tune it out or
b.) Hum it to myself and do a little foot tap to the beat. But then there are
those songs that come on where it makes everyone uncomfortable and you can tell
the change in the spirit. For example,, some of us sisters went in to Forever
21 and I wasn't finding anything I liked and neither was Sister Prince, another
sister in my zone and so we went out because they were playing inappropriate music
and we just had a bad feeling. So we went over to Claire’s and that wasn't much
better. So we sat on a bench outside... anyways... it is just important that
you listen to good, wholesome, uplifting music because it totally has an effect
on your mood and attitude. I know it does on me!
Another
thing that happened this week was Jennifer and Clint’s baptism! Holy cow! It
was absolutely amazing! Jennifer gave me a little gift and it was from Deseret
book and I forgot what it says but it’s about missionary work and a promise
from elder Holland. I put it in my study area because I love it so much! She
told me that she was so grateful for me leaving my family so that theirs could
be together forever :) I cried. haha! But really the family is so important and
I cannot even express to you all how much I love you. Ellie, Tyler, Kate, mom
and dad... You are all wonderful human beings who have shaped me into who I am
today. Thank you for all of your love and support! I don't know what I would do
without you!
Okay so
here is the You Know You're a Sister Missionary When.... you hate shopping
because nothing is ever modest enough. :)
Scripture
for the week: 2 Nephi 26:33
A cool quote for you: "Humility, faith
and the influence of the Holy Ghost will always be elements of every quest for
truth." -unknown
I love each of
you so much and hope you are all happy healthy and safe.
-Love, Sister
Anna Haymond
Anna didn't send home any pictures this week but we did get some pictures during the week from some of the ward members. Here they are...
