Sister Mitzi Gates // Week Seventeen

This week has been different! A slow week. But I love being a

missionary! Haha we still have no new investigators. A lot of

potentials! This week I have learned patience, faith and prayer. Very

important! It has helped me this week and it's the only thing you can

do when things are hard. The iPads are sweet! We each get our own. We

do the area book on it now! My mission is just testing them out. So

that's exciting! But we get to go to the temple on Friday and I can

hardly wait! That will be much needed. I miss going to the temple

weekly! But it will be good. This last week we had interviews. And

president gave me some advice on my companion. Then he asked me if I

was becoming the missionary I thought I would become. I said slowly

but surely! And he just pointed at me and said you are becoming that

missionary. He said he can see it and feel it. So that meant a lot to

me!!

Also on Valentines day Sister Anderson (the mission presidents wife)

took my companion to counciling. We had to travel for a couple hours

to get there. Then Sister Cox got some counciling, then on the way

back for dinner we stopped at a gas station and she got us some food.

I had a Book of Mormon and was trying to talk to the cashier and

Sister Anderson just comes up and says "have you heard of Mormons?" He

was like yeah... She said "Well do you want to be one?!" It was so

funny! But so easy! Haha it was great.

Also the iPads are great! We have our area book off of them and Mormon

message, music and a a lot more! So it's a great tool. President

Anderson explained it like the Liahona. But I can watch videos and

save images to it. We each have our own personal one. So I can see

whenever someone emails me! I can read the first 5 lines but that's it

until Monday! So feel free to just send a little message because I

will see it:)
