In the City

This week has been crazy! I got a new companion, Sis. Black is her name.... And she is white. Everyone around this part of the land... Seems to be stunned when they read her name. It is funny.  Some guy we met as we entered into a school with the last name Black who is black started laughing and had her do a joke where she went into the school office and asked if anyone knew where her husband was and then he came and walked in.... Hahaha.  Why are people so peculiar?  It was funny, peculiar only makes life better to live. 

So this week is my first week taking over the big city, and I'll tell you what, It ain't easy!  But it's sure going to be a fun process.  I love being in the city, as I am sure you all know!  The weather has been SO top notch, I am just l.o.v.i.n.g life. That's all I can say. It makes things go by a lot better. 

So we got to meet with our investigator who is on date and scheduled to be baptized in three weeks with some of the senior missionaries. It was fun!  He cooked salmon for us and his view is very beautiful. I feel like skyscrapers are ugly, but the view is always great. We talked about personal revelation. There is this talk called," In his own time, in his own way." - Dallin. H. Oaks.  I love this talk.  It's so good. In it he says, "Revelation is a reality. It comes in the Lord’s way and according to the Lord’s timetable. (In His Own Time, in His Own Way)"

I love this I think it's so important to remember that The Lord has a plan and there is timing to it! 

I love being a missionary and having the opportunity to live the gospel fully. It's a cool experience, definitely not easy. But I am reminded why I am out here when I am able to teach and find people who want that spirit in their life and the follow the Lords plan that he has for them. 

Later today we will be scoping out the beaches for what ones will be good to have a baptism... Hmm that sounds normal right?  Earlier today we got poured on like flash flood style! It was so crazy. I absolutely loved it! The good thing was we were headed home anyways so I just changed and we were on our way out again! 

I love you and I hope you have a wonderful week coming up, don't get to stressed with everything that life is dealing at you. 

Talk to you in a week :) 

Love, sister. Tincher
