This
weekend was awesome....Mainly Saturday. We woke up early to go to the
9am session at the temple. After which we had about an hour to go get
lunch before we had another meeting at the Baton Rouge Stake Center.
This meeting wasn't any ordinary missionary meeting because we had Elder
Kopischke of the Seventy there. It was awesome! He gave us so much
insight as to how do go about executing the goals that have been made
because of the Elder Perkins visit in January and then the awesome
meeting we had in February with Elder Blouth. It was nice to not be
given any huge new information for goals but to get help with what we
have already been given. Honestly I was expecting him to take the whole
time telling us what we need to do to further the work, but what ended
up happening is he spoke a little bit and gave us most of the time to
ask questions to help us reach the goals we have. It was quite an
experience. Well after that meeting we went down to Metairie to the New
Orleans Stake Center where we as missionaries were invited to attend a
meeting that Elder Kopischke had with ward and stake council members. It
was awesome, with it I feel like a lot of things are going to be
changing with how things are done. I feel so blessed to be able to have
the opportunity to be able to hear and learn as much as I did from Elder
Kopischke.
Besides that everything is going good. We are working on talking to more
people and helping the new Relief Society Presidency come to know each
of the sisters in the ward, which is good because I know quite a few of
them from being her for 7 1/2 months. It is funny because whenever the
members see my companion with someone else they freak out and think that
I got transferred when in reality I am on an exchange. Which reminds me
of something cool that happened while I was on an exchange this week.
The sisters that I was in there area for a day found a lady that is
Haitian, and these sisters are Spanish sisters and they don't know
French or Creole. Well not from where they are there is a companionship
where one of the elders from Africa knows French and the other one is
from Haiti and speaks Creole (he knows French but hates it). So they had
them come up and come teach this lady and her family. That lesson was
one of the coolest lessons I have been apart of. She had heard about the
church before and wanted to know more about Joseph Smith. The Spirit
was so strong in that lesson, and I understand almost all of it. At the
end though she gave the Haitian elder and entire jar of Haitian bullion
cube things, and he gave each of us one. Gah, I really feel like by
being a Sister Training Leader I am more blessed and get to see more of
the miracles that the missionaries I serve have happen to them.
Well y'all I hope that you have an awesome week and know that I love y'all.
Sister Brady
