H E L L O.
It's been a great week. We had a fun district activity today. Consisting of volleyball.
Sister Ali and I started a new hashtag this week: #IAmHereBecause. If you could please take a picture like ours and the members below then send it to me that'd be awesome! We have some plans with it. PLEASE DO IT. thanks. (:
So I got a bad cold this weekend and I had to take a nap so we text Sister Daines and told her we didn't get to do weekly planning and asked if we could do it Saturday morning. She called us and asked how I was doing and she said I sounded awful. She then said that me getting sick was a tender mercy and an answer to prayers because she had a companionship coming into the mission home over the weekend because a sister was going home Monday due to stomach problems...and they didn't know what they would do with them for the weekend. So she had the companionship come to our apartment Friday-Sunday and I stayed in all three days with the sick sister. It was definitely interesting but it was nice to sleep all weekend. We had interviews Saturday and President told me the only way to get better is to sleep and he needed me to feel better. So that was my weekend. But I'm feeling way better now!
I went on two exchanges one with Sister Sly who goes home in 6 weeks and another with Sister Myers in Mansfield. Mansfield had hills...almost mountains. Maybe I cried a little. #LoveMyUtahMountains
This week H and B’s mom entered the picture. G, I love her. She had concerns with the law but is making changes in her life. She is incredible and it's been amazing to teach the whole family. Especially since we have fasted and prayed for a family! H and B are preparing to be baptized the 26th of this month still! Hopefully their parents will come quickly behind them. G calls us "her sisters" and it's so sweet. They prayed for me all weekend that I'd feel better and come back. Hunter looked at her mom at our lesson last night and said (keep in mind she is 9) "mom, I think The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Days Saints will be a good church for you." So cute. I love them. It's incredible to walk into their home and help them see the blessings of the gospel!
Sister Ali went to L while I was sick over the weekend. We had lost contact for weeks. When she followed up with L was on 1 Nephi 9 which is crazy! Sister Ali asked her why she continued to read it and L goes, "I'm all in. If I find out this is true, I'm going to be baptized. Ever since Sister Detamore and that other sister knocked on my door I've been feeling that what I'm learning is good." Ah. L. That's the spirit! Now we just need to help her recognize she received an answer by the spirit!!!! It's crazy cool she didn't seem that interested but she is ALL in.
We haven't been in contact with A...pray for her.
I love the gospel. I really do. It makes me so happy. ☺️ The gospel is meant to bring us joy. When we become converted to Christ through the gospel, we find real joy. As I have served the last 14 months as a full-time missionary, I have found real joy. Real joy is finding strength, comfort, peace, forgiveness through the Atonement. Real joy is feeling the spirit has you study the scriptures and say your prayers. Real joy is giving Christ-like love and service to your neighbor. Real joy is strengthening your relationship with the Savior and your Heavenly Father. The gospel brings REAL joy. I know the gospel has been restored through the Prophet Joseph Smith. The Book of Mormon is true. Christ lived, God is real. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen. Thanks for all the love and support, until next week!
XOXO,
Sister Detamore
I am here because...
My companion over the weekend, she is Utah bound! Love her ❤️
Sister Power, I guess?
14 AMAZING months serving the Lord
