Hellooo to my wonderful family and friends! :)
I am so excited for Easter this week. It is such a fantastic
time of year. To be celebrating the Resurrection of our Savior Jesus Christ. I know
that He does live and that He loves us each so much and so individually. His
rising again on the third day makes it possible for us to be saved from death
and resurrected. God's plan is so perfect. I am so grateful for it! The church
is doing an Easter Initiative thing, so that everyone can share the beautiful
Easter message with their friends! Just go to facebook.com/mormon or mormon.org/becauseofhim. And the hashtag
they are using for everything is #becauseofhim. I am super excited for this and
for everyone to be able to use these tools to share the gospel! :)
Ok, now for the entertaining week I had! Ohhhh my goodness!
Remember how last week I said something about how this week's email would be
much more exciting because I was getting a new area and companion? Well, that
is exactly what happened! Sister Christensen and I have been talking about how
we don't know how we are going to fit all the excitement into one hour of
emailing! We came to a brilliant conclusion! Lists ;)
- Monday I said goodbye to all
my family in Hunter's Creek. It was sad of course, but after 6 months, I
was ready to go. Tuesday morning was transfer meeting, which is always
exciting but also nerve wracking!
- My new companion is Sister
Christensen from Washington state. She is amazing and we are already best
friends! She went to cosmotology school in Orem and is licensed so she
judges my hair, make up, skin, products, etc!!!! haha just kidding, she
totally doesn't! But I get free haircuts now ;) It's like $40 for a trim
over here. But seriously we get along so well and teach well together and
it is soooo nice!
- My new area. You are going to
die. I did. I am in a YSA ward called College Park. We work on UCF campus.
The second largest school in the country. Yeah, ask me! I thought I would
never serve in a YSA ward! But here I am! So far it is really cool, but I
feel like I'm back at college! But everyone was jealous that I got
transferred here because I guess it is like the best or something! So far
the members are really cool and we have a couple investigators we are
working with that should be getting baptized over the next few
weeks!
- This week we basically only
had 2 days to actually do missionary work. So our numbers were a little
discouraging, but we are excited to start a new week! The next 2 weeks are
finals, then there is a break between semesters, so it might be a little
rocky finding people to teach, but we have faith! :)
- Thursday my companion may or
may not have gotten hit by a car on her bike...but she is fine!! These
Orlando drivers might be the death of us....
- Friday we had an all sisters
meeting, which was awesome! We had some cool little workshops and they put
together a little missionary mall of donated clothes, accessories,
products, etc! So that was fun! It is always fun seeing the other
missionaries.
- Saturday we got to go to the
Fort Lauderdale Temple Open House!!!!! AHHH!! I know!!! It was sooo
amazing!! The bus ride was a little rough, but seeing the temple and
having our investigators see it was so neat. We didn't get home till
midnight!! I thought I was going to die! We really did feel like death
though. Plus my companion is having to take muscle relaxers when she
sleeps, so waking up has been really rough, and she has been talking in
her sleep!
I hope you all have an amazing week and a great Easter! I
know it will be if you make it that way! Remember that you are a child of God
and He loves you more than you can comprehend! I love you too! xoxoxo
Love, Sister Lowry
