Hello friends and family (:
I hope this email finds you all well...especially with the lack of info that comes with it. It's been quite the week. To sum it up, I spent last Wednesday to today in bed 24/7. the mission doctor said he believes I caught two different viruses within the last week and a half. So that's been fun. Not really. But all is well and I'll continue to press forward (:
We decided to postpone B and H’s baptism. We feel we need to prepare them more as they prepare for baptism. We also want to help their parents more to baptism. They love learning the gospel and I'm thankful for the opportunity to teach them. (:
We had Zone Conference on Tuesday and it was wonderful. We are truly blessed to have President and Sister Daines leading us in The Great OCM. As we received training, I reflected back to the trainings I received a year ago during Zone Conference. It was evident that our mission has truly grow and advanced. It's been such a privilege to watch this unfold. The Lord really is moving His work forward and He has sent out some of His finest soldiers. I am in awe of the missionaries I serve amongst. They a true warriors in my eyes...with determination, obedience, fearlessness, and love. They continue to push me to be a little better, a little bolder.
Happy Thanksgiving. how thankful I am to be able to spend another thanksgiving as a missionary. I'm thankful for the gospel in my life. I'm thankful for each of you. The love and support I receive. The examples you offer me. May we each take time to thank our Father in Heaven for the blessings He grants us. Not only during the holiday seasons but throughout our lives.
This isn't my work, it's the Lords. I have the opportunity to wear the Saviors name on my chest for the next 4 months and I hope to represent Him well. The work is moving forward. The gospel is being spread. May we take the time to reach out and be the Lords hands. To #LightTheWorld. I know that the gospel has been restored....to bless us and families around us. The Book of Mormon outlines our purpose on earth and the blessings that come from being true to the gospel. It testifies of Jesus Christ. Heavenly Father lives and He loves. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen. Until next Wednesday, ah...transfers. Not sure the odds are in my favor this time but it would be a blessed day if so. Thank you for all the love and support. Talk to you next week!
XOXO,
Sister Detamore
I forgot to share the sweetest experience. We were on the phone with Abraham, our recent convert yesterday asking about church since we didn't get to go. Sister Ali asked if he could pray for me sometime so that I would feel better. Immediately Abraham began to pray:
"Dear Heavenly Father, I ask that you watch over Sister Detamore and help her to feel better. She is a very nice person and is the one who got me into the church. I pray for all of them. I say this in the name of Jesus Christ, amen."
How humbling that prayer was as he spoke to our Father in Heaven. I'm very thankful for it.
I also had the opportunity to get a priesthood blessing yesterday and how thankful I am to know that the priesthood authority is on the earth today. What a blessing.
Have a blessed week, everyone. XOXO.
