This week has been one of change! On Tuesday I celebrated
Hannah's birthday by working extra hard at the Visitors Center-haha! I hope she
had a good one! On Wednesday we were supposed to go to transfer meeting in
Kirtland, but because of bad weather, it was changed to Thursday in Cleveland.
Yay- another day in Euclid word and another day with sister Clark! That evening we had a last correlation
meeting with the Tally's and the Elders at Five Guys. That was kind of fun! I just ate my burger without
the bun. Most days it's not hard to stick to the diet, but sometimes it can be
really hard! The sisters like to order pizza at sites from this awesome pizza
place and I'm always tempted to eat it! "Just once wont won't hurt"
ha ha. Luckily I have some delicious alternatives to fight the urge!
(Sister Mohler is on a special diet to address some health issues, not to lose weight!)
I feel so much better these days and I'm so glad that many of the
things I'm trying are working! I still felt exhausted 24/7, but I'm sick of
going to back to the doctor. On Thursday we had transfer meeting. The weather
was still bad so Pres. decided that the site sisters should just stay in Kirtland and have a separate
transfer meeting with Elder Sorensen. It makes sense because we all just switch
companions there anyway.
My new companion is Sister Nance, as if it couldn't get any
better! She's always happy
and positive and loves missionary work just as much as I do.
Sister Nance and I have two investigators: E and S! E is a
sweet Vietnam veteran and takes his sweet time learning about the Gospel.
That's okay because we are usually pretty patient. S comes to church every
Sunday and has a few friends in the ward. Both E and S are just awesome people and sister Nance and I are going to
get them where they need to go!
Sister Nance laughs
at everything I say. She makes me feel like I might actually still have a
personality despite what my letters sound like. I like to call her Fancy Nancy.
: )
We get so many international calls and chats when we're at sites.
This week I talked to people from Fiji, Thailand, South Africa, Bangalore, and
many more! Sometimes the language barrier is rough but the Spirit can always
reach a prepared heart. The man from Africa called the bishop and is going to
church on Sunday! Another cool thing happened this Sunday back in the Euclid
ward. A family from Ukraine just walked into church wanting to learn more! They
said they had always seen the beautiful temple in Ukraine and are now meeting
with Sister Clark and her new companion. What a miracle! The temple is such an
important place. I learn that more and more each day as I talk to people about
the Lord's commandment to build the Kirkland Temple, the sacrifice it took, and
as I do my family history. These welding links are crucial to our salvation and
salvation of our ancestors! How lucky we are to have temples on the Earth
today!
Something fun this week was that we got to do some service for a
member in our ward! Yay! I love, love, love service. We cleaned her house. We
also convinced Ed to let us come do service for him this Thursday. I can't
wait! Shoveling snow is a great workout.
My first Sunday in the Kirtland Ward was great! There is awesome
leadership and organized missionary efforts. I can tell there are bright things
in our future. : ) We are really doing everything we can to use every second of
our time to serve the Lord. Our goals are to teach as many lessons as possible
and to talk to many people as possible. Don't forget what matters most! I love my mission and happy Valentine's Day!
Love
Sister Mohler
