Lookie what I got!

Happy Valentines week 

This last week had its ups and downs. Like any other week.
So where to begin...
Monday was ok,
Tuesday we had a lesson with a lady... We taught her about the plan of
salvation! Everything went well until we got to the part about spirit
paradise and prison. She then told us that we were wrong. That we only
have one chance here on earth to figure it out and if we don't get it
then  it's too late. We asked her about those who didn't get a chance
here on earth to learn about Jesus... She said that there is
satellites and mission trips, that everyone would have a
chance...(hmmm I don't think she understands that not everyone has a
smart phone, or even radio for that matter.) well any who she kept
telling us that we were wrong, but I just bore my testimony that god
is a loving god who WANTS us to live with him again so he would
provide another chance, and then we promptly left.
That night our investigator cruzita was able to come to a movie night!
We watched the testaments and she loved it! She even felt the spirit
so much that she was crying at the end.
Wednesday...
WE GOT IPADS!!!
We had zone conference and spent most of our day learning how to use
them! It was pretty awesome.
Thursday was just a day.
Friday...
We figured out how to weekly plan on these things which took forever,
but it's all good.
We also had a lesson with cruzita. She is great but she jumps straight
head first into deep doctrine. Luckily she has her brother in law who
is a bishop in England to help her out on some of the tougher
subjects. Currently she is praying about tea and the word of wisdom.
She asked us if we could ask the people higher up to change the tea
part. (Funny thing is, that she doesn't even really like tea...?)
Saturday...
Fun filled day of looking for service in the community. Also had a
ward mission meeting like usual. We also got to go to a party. A
member thru the party to invite gators and less actives to
fellowship them with some of the members. It was awesome. I watched a
snake eat a rat, it was gross.
Also at the party I met one of my best friends from the pre mortal
life. Her name is hailey and she is 5. She instantly came up to me and
told me that she remembered me. She remembered that when she was a
baby we took a picture together..... I'm guessing that was in heaven.
She hung by me the whole night. She even came and said hi to me at
church yesterday.
Sunday...

Cruzita came to church again! :)
We had to go to young men's and young women's to translate for two of
our members who just recently moved from Columbia and speak no
English. I can not think fast enough to put three words together.
Luckily I have an iPad with Google translate! Copy and paste
scriptures was the name of the game while mi compa was able to get the
chit chat in between.
Ha funny moment.... The young man who she was translating for, mike,
kissed her on the cheek when we were leaving. She started laughing so
hard, she forgot it was a cultural thing that they do down in
Columbia.
Last night we were finally able to see a less active who we have been
trying to see since we got here. We had to take another sister with us
so that we could enter his home but we where able to have a nice visit
and get to know him a little bit better.

God is good.

One of the spiritual lessons that I am learning this week is to not
trust in the arm of flesh. As I have been going over the word of
wisdom, studying it so that we could teach our gator I have just re
realized some things.
It's crazy to look and compare what was happening in the world to when
Joseph smith received the revelation. Many people at he time didn't
know that smoking, drinking or chewing where bad for them, but over
time we have learned more about how bad they really are for us. We
don't know gods ways, because they are higher then our ways, but it is
always the right way, so we have to pray and ask him what is his way
so that we can know and follow it.

Any who enjoy this picture!

These tools are so wonderful. All of our paper work is now in them and
super easy to update.
It is our planner, area book, gospel library, and quick Mormon message
player. It has been so awesome already. Sunday we were actually able
to share a quick video with a man on a door step and set a return
appointment for tonight!
All of the missionaries have the same password to our iPads... DC
88:73... Look it up! :)
Also we can e-mail from them. This means that I can read your messages
when ever you send them to me, but I can only reply on Mondays :)

Until next week Love Sister Chambers
