Willie

Dynasty

SO this week was kinda Interesting :)

We were teaching many new people and we had a new rule on the mission if our investigators weren't looking like they were progressing and they have a Book Of Mormon you can give them a last chance and kindly ask for the book back. Sadly some gave them back without a thought but we are still having some we didn't check up lately.

L stories cont on.. We recently discover we cant baptized L with that fine and community service he has on his hands. We been teaching his Uncle who was slowly showing interest and been reading the Book the Mormon, but once he heard that L couldn't be baptized he thought it was wrong and stop everything. We trying our best to tell him why and stuff but he rather want to hear it from President McDonough, so we gave president his number and we hope he will clear everything with his Uncle. But L understand why and is not complaining about it. So we at least know L is Humble, I think??

We are also meeting a lady name J who thinks the Lord abandon her long time ago and she doesn't know what to do but to keep on with life. So we pray she is a broken heart and a contrite spirit :)

ok So the best day was Saturday when we had Interviews with President McDonough. Everything went really good :) President and I made a goal to learn to be Charity and love :). 
After Interviews we went somewhere and stop at a gas station and went to use the bathroom when i was the last one to come out I saw a man with a great big beard. My mind thought it was Willie a bit from Duck Dynasty but then I thought possibly a wannabe follower but as we left the Gas station a great big custom made truck with Duck Commander all over it, it was no doubt it was a Duck Dynasty. Sister Totterer ask if he one of the Duck Dynasty and he said "What gave it away the beard?... Yes I am Willie." 
WOW we met Wille! I have a picture but the stupid computer won't let me email it to you so I am making sure I have this picture with me for good cause lately my pictures been randomly deleted and I am very sad I lost good pictures of my mission and cant handle to lose more. :( 

Well my mind draws a blank and I will share next week my week report Love you!

Rough Moments & Sis Eschler

I received a couple of updates from Sis Cole, some pictures and a story about her companion, Sis Eschler.

"I want to share how am I doing and so far I admit I was in a huge downfall but I kept quiet from my companions and pray for help what is wrong with my soul? I was finally prompted to tell my mission president but I have no what I will say but i hope that when I rambling to him I get my answer and a Blessing from him.
I finally learn that I don't love myself as I should be doing and i was afraid i hadn't changed at all and I will go home as the same person I was in the beginning either too. Then President assured me that my new goal needs to be I need to learn to Love myself because i am a child of God and everything I have should be loved, then he really assured me that i was a total different person then when he had first seen me as so i was kinda happy to see a little change since I had been out :) Plus the Sister have assured me even more about me and how if it wasn't for me our investigator Joleenya and if i didn't tell Joleenya i was a a Anime Freak she never open up as she is now and I kinda feel it was true cause Joleenya has quoted familiar Anime I seen and I was the only one who knows it and laughs so crazy that Joleenya will laugh along too leaving poor Sister Eschler and Sister Shaw clueless on why we are laughing about till i explain later though it hard to explain without going on youtube and showing them the clip :T speaking of it I gotten better at drawing that I may think about using spare time to making Comic books so i can still keep up practicing after all like the Parables of the talents (in the Bible Jesus Shared) if you hide your talent (or not using it alot) it can lost and given to someone esle and i dont want 9 years of practice to go away haha not fun :)  Well my mind is drawing to a close blank and I think i shared enough and hope this Week i have something to share these past days nothing was good enough to share but i still journal incase :) Have a Happy mother Day :D Love Sister cole"

She has been doing some running her companions, but that was put on a back burner because of an accident Sis Eshcler was in.  One week all I got was a one sentence note asking to pray for her companion and that she would explain later.  Here is her story:

"She now fine, she had surgey here in Monroe just Monday, and turns out she not leaving the Mission either she just be in a better area where she can be more helpful till she heals. It was pretty fast but i was the only one who saw what had happenthankfully. We were biking on Thrusday to our investigator house who lives on a sorta highway street (but it was a little mile farther then it is a highway) we were biking with the flow and it was a blank street andwe had to turn so we can go into the driveway of our investigator house. We looked both ways and crossed but I notice Sister Shaw petal faster and I look over and saw a motorcycle i petal faster to and looked back again seeing Sister Eschler may have not notice him but he notice her and tried to turn his bike on the side to stop it but it was to late to put his bike at a halt and crashed into Sister Eschler. sister Eschler flip into the air and landed on her back ad started moaning in pain and i scream running to her and knowing that  you must calm your patient before you do anything esle (plus i didnt have any first aid kit on me so i used a skirt which got blooded and toss and I was lucky to just buy a bandna to use) as I was calming her down cause she wasnt fully there but cried "Am I dead?" over and over till i was able to assured her she not dead and slowly freak out. Thankfully in a blink a man stop his truck and pulled out his bag and says he was an EMT and sister Shaw was a EMT too and work together to help her. As for the Motorcyclist he rolled and called 911 as fast as a he can. we were shock he was so fast on how to do things and learned he used to be in the army and thats how he was good at some things. Sadly he had a bad Road rash and turns out the Motorcyclist (named Jamie) that his Grandpa was a Mormon and Served a missioned too!!! so there was a bright side on everything :)
After the Surgery we met Pres. Pena and he insisited we stay at his house and wait for sister eschler to have her 72 recorvery over and since he is a Neourogilst he knows his things if Sister eschler came across anything bad happen to her. So I hadnt been a missionary for nearly a week! ugh and I learned Sister Shaw is gonna be a STL and she no longer a visa waiter and she a perment MJM missionary :) and i be left in winnsboro with new companions lol so wish me luck :)"
