This
week started off nice, with Zone Conference, and then ended even nicer
with a baptism! I loved my first Zone Conference. Learned so much, and
felt the Spirit pretty much the whole entire time. A nice thought that
was shared with me at the conference was this: "You have a few years to
prepare for you mission, a couple years to live your mission, and an
eternity to reflect on your mission. Make it count." So, I'm determined
to make my time here count!
As I mentioned
above, there was a baptism! I may not have gotten to teach Danny from
the beginning, but I still got to teach him, and seeing him get baptized
was a happy moment. I felt so full of sunshine. I just want to find so
many people and help them have the desire to come closer to Christ and
be baptized. I know that it really does improve lives and people are
blessed because of it!
Q&A:
-My
accent? Well, you see Elder Warden, I talk more in a southern accent
than I do in a British one. I'm really good at saying "What" though.
-Lauren,
I'm literally still shook that the Jonas Brothers are back!? How dare
they wait until I can only listen to Hymns to release a song.
-Mom,
so far my favorite thing has just been teaching. I love teaching and
getting to know all of these different people. It is so fun to see all
of these different situations.
This week I have also decided to include a list of things that keep me up at night:
-Salad Cream & Mayonnaise. They put it on salads, & I'm always just baffled. Mayo on Salads really is just gross.
-Driving on the left side of the road. Still so weird.
-Our washing machine is in the kitchen???
-Vacuums are called Hoovers here???
-No churches here have water fountains. I guess they don't believe in hydration.
That's really all. I'm still just the happiest girl, living the happiest life. Alma 36:24 is pretty much my life right now.
I
love you all! Keep making good choices & reading your scriptures!
The best way to come closer to Christ is by reading the Book of Mormon!
Cheers!
-Sister Sellick
