Letters to mom and dad

This is a couple of letters that Sister Tincher wrote to her mom and dad.  I thought it was good to hear the events of the week:

 

Hello Mom!

 

Its so nice to hear from you! It sounds like you have a wonderful week. :) I got in a wreck like two weeks. I forgot to let you know... just like a bumper thing....  ugh I could throw up. It's like so expensive. I am so mad at myself I don't know what to do. I am so stressed!

 

We got transferred this week! I am training like I told you last week and my new companion is Sister Bishop! She is from Manti, Utah and has 12 siblings! So it's fun. It's going to take some getting used to, to being a trainer I know I will learn a lot because I have already learned so much this first week!

 

This week was pretty good, we got some contact with people in the area that we have been trying to teach since I first got here so that was good!

 

We met this man that is a less active. I told dad about him. He is like anti mormon, but was baptized a couple years ago... we went to go meet him and he just started to shove information down our throats. I was so stunned that this was happening and just didn't know how to get out of it, finally after an hour I just stood up and said we have another appointment we need to get to. So we left.

 

One of the investigators that we are teaching and who is way awesome got a priesthood blessing this past week, she is really what keeps my hopes up in this area. She asked for it herself too! the spirit was so strong and so amazing.

 

I hope you have a good week!

Love, Sister Tincher

Dear Dad,

Thank you for writing me :) It is definitely different being a trainer. I feel a lot more stressed and like I am doing double the work, but I know I have learned a lot from the past couple of days. I hope I can keep this area up and not slack any more, I am worried that I will get tired and fall short some times, but I know with the help of the Atonement that I will be strengthened.

We have been able to get in contact with some people in our area that we have seen in a while and have had some interesting lessons. There is this man who was baptized like four years ago, but it less active now. He does not believe in the Book of Mormon and is attacking. I brought my new greenie to this guy's house to see how he is doing. and he is a very nice man. He had a group of his friends over and once he knocked he let us in and invited us to sit down and share the word with his friends. So we started to introduce them to the book of Mormon. I was kind of stunned so I didn't know exactly what to do, I look back and think that this probably wasn't the smartest idea. He just starts going off and telling us why the book of mormon isn't true, and be only believe it because these people put it into our heads all he went of for an hour. and he was like standing over me and I am just sitting there. I didn't say anything because anything I could have said wouldn't have been good for Him. But ah it was stressful. I don't think we will go back there. haha.

I hope everything is going well.  I love you and miss you! Hope you have a good week!

Love, Sister Tincher
