[Note: Each
mission president and his wife (the mission mom) serves for three years
managing, training and guiding the approximately 200 young missionaries in
their area. Like the 18-21 year olds under
their care, these couples leave their homes, jobs and friends. The missionaries
grow to intensely love them, so it is a big
deal when they leave and the newly assigned couple takes over. This change happened in Jodi’s mission on
July 1, 2015, and the former couple has now returned to their home in the
Dominican Republic. The new couple is
from Honduras; their names are Presidente and Hermana Ferman.]
Hey everyone, short letter this week. Nothing
crazy or exciting happened this week, just a lot of personal learning. My companion has been very, very sick and we haven’t
had the chance to work a ton because she just physically cannot. So, I have been carrying a lot of the load and
leading and directing, and it has been downright hard, but in turn I have
learned a lot about charity, serving and loving. I also bore my testimony in Sunday, about how
I know I am not a person who talks a lot but that I truly know that my Savior
lives and that He loves me, that He is my older brother and that through him we
can become clean from our sins.
We have had many great
finds this week and I’m am so glad because all of them are families! They are
all so wonderful. I am so excited for this next month to work and to be a
servant of the Lord.
Finally, I sang a song in
a zone meeting this week with my companion.
Everyone here thinks I can sing. Plus, the assistants to the president called
me on Saturday and asked me if I could sing a solo in the activity that we are
going to have with Presidente Ferman this Wednesday... ahhhhhhh I’m
terrified!!!
I love you all!!!
Hermana Reed
