June 16th, 2014: "Look at Her Teeth! She's Got Beautiful Teeth!"

Well, this week has been about as funny as the subject line. 
(In response to the subject line, this really nice lady we met on the street just yelled this out to me in front of her husband, as well as the whole world. Thank goodness for American dental care! and thanks mom and dad for the braces, it's paying off ;) never thought that it'd be a missionary tool! )

This week we had a great zone training, then we got flogged (an appointment fell through), ward correlation meeting, chinese food with a member, lots of looking through the area book at old investigators and calling them, blisters, visiting a few sweet old ladies in the ward who have bad health, spider killing, overflowing washers, the summer fete, and two baptisms in our ward!

This week has had its challenges, mainly most people not wanting to talk to us. But after we had a 24 hour fast throughout the mission, we saw miracles. We went from having no investigators, to now having three! The work is hastening here, and I am so glad to be a part of it!

My ward is amazing, and there are so many wonderful people who are so supportive of us missionaries. It's also fun to have my mission president and his wife in our ward!

I think some of the pictures I will send speak for themselves, but needless to say, the summer fete was a success and we even had an investigator come! She was one of our miracles this week. Her name is Wendy.
About 6 weeks ago Wendy had been meeting with other sister missionaries and was making a lot of progress, then out of nowhere she told them she no longer wanted to meet with them. The other day we had a feeling to just stop by her house, and she was there and we were able to teach her a lesson, and she wants to start meeting with us again! She has so much potential, and I am so excited to see where this will all go!

I hope all is well with all of you wonderful people! Thank you for the love and support. The Church is true, so go and do!

Keep the faith.

Love you all,

Sister Lydiksen (:
