Sister Mitzi Gates // Week Twenty-One

I can't believe another week has gone by! It's starting to pick up!

But on Tuesday we had our transfer meeting and we got our trainee,

Sister Tagilala! She is awesome. She is originally from Fiji but then

moved to the California and is a convert since 2007. She is great!

It's still so fun being in a trio. But we've just been having her get

to know the area, she keeps saying "I can't believe I'm really in

Tennessee!" I remember saying, kind of weird! But on Friday during

weekly planning I ran out of my protein drink and we needed more water

bottles so I was like can we go during lunch to get more? So they said

yes and while we were checking out a cashier started to talk to Sister

Tangilala about what she does, she did great! But we invited her to

the church tour and she was super open to it and we are so excited!!

Tender mercy! We have been doing a lot of tracting. A lot of finding.

We still have no one to teach! We are trying so hard, but every door

we tract "no we're good, we're Christians, we believe in God, he's our

savior, and y'all have a good day!" ....... Ugh! #missionprobs

Anyways another cool experience this week was we were going home for

dinner and I had a feeling to check on this less active family, so we

did and they've had some medical issues and stuff. When we went and

saw them the wife was having one of her episodes where her whole left

side twitches, but they still let us stay. I guess her brother has

brain cancer and she asked if in the pre mortal life she asked to take

away some of her brothers pain on earth. I was like well I'm not sure

about that, but I do know Jesus Christ died and atoned for us. It was

super spiritual! The husband was crying, the wife was crying, I was

crying!!

There is nothing better than having those very spiritual experiences

on your mission. Yeah it might be hard and you have no one to teach,

but I have come to know that no matter what we're going through

Heavenly Father is so aware of our situations!! Gosh I love this

gospel!! Makes me want to share it with everyone:) haha love you all!

Have a great week:)

Love,

Sister Gates
