18 CUT & Color!
Heyo everyone! How's it Goin? If you don't want to read all of this, I just encourage you to read the last paragraph! Love you all❤️
Last Monday we had dinner at some very fancy pent house on the 14 floor 😏 it was very yummy food to say the least! And a great view!
Wednesday we got to go to the temple and guess who else was there?? SISTER MECHAM! MY Fav! Tender mercies, that time shift wasn't even hers but she had to come to ours because she had something else they couldn't miss later! I cried.. Than after the temple sister madsen and I went and got matching hair cuts and color! ;)
Thursday we got to go volunteer at the giving machines downtown for 4 hours! It was chilly but so fun, we get a few more shifts till Jan 1!
On Saturday we went to one of my favorite old couples house because the wife just had shoulder surgery and we were just going to talk for a little and see how she was.. Well we ended up washing her hair in the kitchen sink and blow drying it and curling it and then pulling out all of their Christmas decorations and Christmas tree and decorated their whole house and set up the Christmas tree and decorated that haha. I wasnt even mad. I miss decorating with my mom so it was really fun for me, my companion on the other hand was a little annoyed haha, I guess working at assisted living set me up for this type of patience and love!

On
Sunday we had a guy we are teaching named kreshnik Come to church! As they were
passing the sacrament water he leans over to me and goes "that's water
right? Cause it's way to early for you know what" hahah it was funny,
later that night we got to watch the Christmas devotional with Cheryl who we
live with, it was fun and such a good devotional! Then when we got home later
sister madsen washed and cut my hair in Cheryl's salon she has downstairs in
the house! Glad my companion is a cosmetologist haha
A verse that has been coming to mind lately and has been really helping me is Alma 31:31
31 O Lord, my heart is exceedingly sorrowful; wilt thou comfort my soul in Christ. O Lord, wilt thou grant unto me that I may have strength, that I may suffer with patience these afflictions which shall come upon me, because of the iniquity of this people.
This is almas prayer.. He isn't asking for God to take away his afflictions, he is asking for strength to get through them and patience on his long sufferings, he knows that the afflictions are the only way he will be able to grow so he has to go through them. I just love that because serving a mission is hard. Sometimes I feel lonely, sad, not good enough. BUT I know that by serving the lord I am growing and helping others grow as well. So I want to invite all of you who may be going through hard things, don't pray to have them go away, pray for the strength to get through them:)
In Jesus's name, AMEN!
