helloooo everyone!
Okay I'm gonna start off with the SWEETEST experience I had this week.
So on Thursday I got a call from Sister Fulton asking me if I could go to her house after district meeting! me and Sister Fehoko went and when I made eye contact with Sister Fulton I KNEW exactly what had happened. She hugged me and informed me that my Grandma Russell had passed away that morning. OF COURSE there were some tears but also this feeling of peace knowing that she was happy and that I would be getting a little extra help for the next few months!
I then went into the back room to call my family! & my mom told me the cutest thing! for the past few days my grandma had not known a whole lot about what was going on and yet right before my mom said her last goodbye to my grandma my grandma promised my mom that she would take care of me for the next 9 months! & then she passed away on my 9 month mark. That was a little tender mercy for me to see just how aware our Heavenly Father is of us. I'm so GRATEFUL to have my sweet grandma's help for the next few months! and also I think Heavenly Father knew I was at a point in my mission where I needed that extra help. I'm a lucky lucky girl!
So this week was GOOD! There is a family that I am teaching right now that is so prepared and is such a tender mercy, the Albert family! I met them at the bus stop one day and now they are on baptismal date for the end of March. So the other night we had planned to teach the Plan of Salvation (not really a good idea, I was in tears the whole time) but as we taught it I was able to share with them my experience with losing my grandma and how I KNEW that I would see her again. It was one of the most spiritual experiences I have ever had, it was as if my grandma was sitting right next to me holding my hand! I'm sure I got a whole lot more out of the lesson than what I taught them and geez. I'll never forget that!
and hahahahah my comp. things are BOMB with her! she's literally picked me up and carried me through the tough days of this week! bless her heart.
Life's just good! Investigators are goooood. Area is goooood. The ward, my comp, everything is GOOD. I love serving here on Pohnpei! I LOVE the people and I feel so dang fortunate to serve with them! KALAGHAN EN KAUNO! hahahahah love you all!!
LOVE. Sister Russell
