Dancing Through Life: A Sister Missionary's Story!

Week 28 July 23, 2018 Hi All, This week has been a little crazy.. so you know how I’ve always had a hard time being direct with people... telling things how they are.. all that jazz. well in the mission we have to do that a lot, and this week I failed.  I’m going to work hard to be better, but because I wasn’t able to be direct with people, we didn’t have anyone in the church. But what’s good, is that I know that repentance is real and that I can change and do better! Love you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Got to go. - Sister Williams

Week 27 - July 17, 2018 Sorry I didn’t write yesterday, it was a holiday here. . . I think they have holidays every week, it’s crazy! But I’m on now! It makes for a short P-day and the time the next day to write! This is my temple! I know that God sent us here to families, and that he doesn’t want our families to end when we die.  He loves us more than that. So he gave us temples. I know that the covenants that we make inside the temples help us to be a forever family.  I know that we can feel more peace and comfort in the temples then in any other place on earth. I’m so excited to help the people in Chile find this peace and love with our new temple in Concepcion!!! Got to go, I love you!!!! Sister Williams

Week 26 - July 9, 2018 Hey hey hey!  So I literally have 30 seconds to type this message, but today marks 6 months in the mission!  I’m so old! God has blessed me and helped me grow so much in this short time! I’ve learned that relying on the Savior is the only way to go through life.  It doesn’t matter what problem comes your way, you can get through it with the help of God! Alma 7 is my favorite chapter in The Book of Mormon.. and Alma 26! Remember that God never abandons you, you just distance yourself from Him! I’ve been training and I like it so much better than being the junior companion.  I’m still stressed because I need to teach my new companion everything and feel like I should know everything, but it’s soo much nicer to have my own way with everything! (keeping in mind to ask her opinion and such) and it’s just so much nicer to be able to decide things and not have to follow a routine that I don’t like! (don’t worry, I’m making sure my co...

Week 25 Hey all, yesterday was a holiday so I’m writing today! I’ll send out the group email in a sec, but love you! That’s so exciting that Marshall should be putting on his mission call soon!  I can’t wait for him to get his call!!! Filling everything out for a mission is a long process, it’s hard when things like interviews get pushed back.  I’m praying that this Sunday he can have his final interview! I love training!  Some missionaries don’t like being out at night because it’s dark here at 6 or 6:30 and then there isn’t anyone in the streets and that can scare some missionaries.  But we need to work until 9:30. Praying always helps! We have also started to sing hymns when we are walking so hopefully that will help too. Right now I’m in Parral in the Zone of Linares, about 2 and a half hours from Concepcion. My hardships right now aren’t that hard.. its cold (like always) and that means that the members sometimes don’t want to leave to kn...
