::Adventures of Sister McCammon::: Week 37 - TRIO Training

And then there were 3...

Today was transfer board day and Sister Deem and I will be getting a brand new missionary and training her together! We are so excited to be able to stay together and get a greenie aka new missionary. Plus, we are getting another ward called, the University Ward. So now, we'll cover 2 hearing wards and the deaf ward.

Not too much happened this week but we of course worked hard and had fun. We've been meeting with a lot of members in our hearing ward since we don't have a lot of people to teach. When we meet with members we share the message of the Restoration and ask them to pray for people that may be seeking for more in their life and that we could share a message of Christ with. One member, Becky Wilson, told us about her friend Mary who is from Holland and asked if we could go visit her. Becky even gave us M&M's to give to marry. We go and knock on Mary's door and realized we have knocked on his door before and she didn't want to talk to us but we tried again. We mention d Becky and that we have M&M's for her and she let us right in. She was great to talk with and loves Jesus Christ. She is getting pretty old and can't see very well so we are thinking we might go back every week and read the Bible with her. We love Mary!

As missionaries we usually have dinner with members and one day this week we had dinner with Sister Ina Watson! She is a very spunky old lady and loves the missionaries. She came over on the boat from Holland many many years ago and has lived in SLC ever since. She is so funny and is the most caring spiritual person. We loved having dinner with her and hearing all of her stories.

Sunday dinners are probably my favorite day for dinners with members.

Sundays are just great in general. We had dinner with Bishop Loosli who is the Bishop of the deaf ward and had my favorite soup, Broccoli cheese, and then we played apples to apples junior after. It was so much fun!

Then there's Phil! Phil has met with missionaries several times before but loves the Savior and Heavenly Father. He loves having gospel conversations with us. He and his wife, Beth, are moving to Hawaii this week and so we stopped by on Saturday because they were having a goodbye party. They texted and wanted us to stop by and so we went and said our goodbyes. He said Sister Deem and I can visit them in Hawaii whenever we want after our missions. Vacation plans have already begun haha.

The coolest part of this week was when we had Elder Lawrence Corbridge of the Seventy come and speak to us in what is called a Mission tour.

Its really just like a big Zone Conference with two other zones. He spoke on so many things and it was a day filled with learning. I wish I had every word he said written down but here are a few things that stood out to me:

1. This is Heavenly Father's work, and He gives it to us 2. Recognize how the Spirit speaks to me, so I can do this work the Lord's way 3. Make a difference and teach doctrine simply

I love you all! Love Sister McCammon ❤️
