Spiritual Recharge Up The Wazoo - March 24

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.
