My letter is a day late, because we went to the Monticello Temple yesterday. It was the absolutely BEST day I have had in a LONG time!!! I got to sit by Sister Patrick and Sister Isaacson and then they sandwiched me on the couch in the celestial room and we all held hands as we cried and prayed silently. We had one handkerchief (that Grandma Hardy gave me for my birthday) that we passed back and forth between the 3 of us so we wouldn't have to get up. I had some serious questions to ask Heavenly Father, and He answered EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM! Oh, it was fantastic. I definitely needed that to deal with the craziness and stress that is my life now with Sister Nay.
Speaking of Sister Nay, she has made incredible changes
since the last time we were together...and this transfer is not one of
oppression or depression like last time....but it still isn't totally
fun. We do laugh more now, and I have learned how to show her love in a
way that she will recognize.
Oh, in the subject line, I mentioned pillows...there
will not be a mission-wide Christmas gathering this year, so yesterday
became our celebration (non of us knew that until after it was
practically over). The mission office gave us some little gifts....and
one of them was a travel pillow made out of a Blue Corn Flour sack..that
is the MOST USED FLOUR IN ALL OF NEW MEXICO...and the only flour
that Navajo's will use to make fry bread. Us missionaries have gotten
pretty creative about how to use those bags to make cool things for
ourselves. I LOVE MY PILLOW!!!!!! So fun!!!
I feel like there
isn't much to tell you....I just keep trucking on, and taking it day by
day. Time was previously going at light's speed, but now it is
crawling....oh well. We have been doing a lot of tracting and it gets
easier and easier every day. (Thank heavens.)
Well, I'm totally clueless on what else to say...sooooo....
I LOVE YOU!!!!!
Sister Wilkins
