Hello dearest family and friends,
This week has been...interesting. My new area consists of Dublin and Pulaski Virginia. It is super pretty and the ward and people are amazing! My companions name is Sister Van Tassell, she is from Paul Idaho. She is super awesome and we like to play football and pick wild berries so its a good time.
Tuesday: We had our last zone conference with President and Sister Salisbury. We learned a lot about the Book of Mormon, being obedient and they gave us some post mission advice (which was awkward because they talked about marriage...) We are sad that they are leaving but we are also excited to get the new President!
Wednesday: We had dinner with the Niels today and it was fun because we accidentally showed up early so Sister Niel showed us how to make tacos! Before that we where tracking and we ran into (not literally) this lady who was 99 years old but she looked like she was at least 75. She was super nice to us and it was cool because she turns 100 in July!
Tuesday: Every Tuesday and Thursday we serve at a church that provides meals for homeless people. It is SO much fun and it makes my whole day when we are able to do service for others who are in need.
Sunday: During sacrament meeting I learned the following about agency: It is important that we do hard things because they make us stronger. What am I willing to give up to know God better? Scripture in Alma: 'I will give up all of my sins to know thee.' What you think about is what you get more of. If we do our part, the blessings will follow.
Relief Society-Obedience: Try harder to live the Gospel. The more you are obedient, the more the Spirit can work with you. We must rise above the crowd and stand a little taller!
Today I am really excited because we get to go explore a mansion house, which may or may not actually be a mansion haha. Either way it should be fun. I love being a missionary holy cow. It really is just the best thing.
I hope that y'all have a good week and that you will make good choices:) Thank you for all of your continued support, prayers and love.
Love Always,
Sister Rodabough
