Sister Prince and I celebrated by making Valentines for everyone and handing them out with candy attached to it. I think that they turned out pretty cute if I do say so myself :)
The best thing that happened on Valentines day was a conversation that I had with a non-member;
We were starting to share a message when Andy started to turn to leave:
Me: "Andy!! I promise you will want to hear this scripture!"
Andy: (looks at me like im crazy)
Me: Andy, I PROMISE! I'm not trying to shove you into a baptismal font, but I promise that you want to hear this scripture!"
Andy: (turns back around)
Song of Soloman Chapter 4:1 "Your hair is like a flock of goats" yep. that chapter is a love song I would highly suggest reading it! Anyways, Andy even stayed for the prayer! Thank you Soloman!
Sister Prince and I are really getting to know the city. And by that I mean that we are getting lost left and right! Let me tell you, that I never knew that I would learn how to use a map before! Somehow, the Spirit has blessed me with a gift of knowing North from South so that has kept us alive for a while at least! Here is another funny conversation that happened while trying to navigate:
Sister Prince: South Phillips Avenue just does not exist! UGH!
Me:(looks up at the street sign in front of us) Yes it does.
Sister Prince: NO IT DOESN'T!
Me: Yes.
Sister Prince: NO IT DOESN'T!!
Me: SISTER. LOOK UP!
Yes. South Phillips Avenue was there the ENTIRE TIME! Wow. CLASSIC.
One of the greatest things that happened this week was that I received a blessing. For some reason, I have a hard time asking for them but they are always worth it! I have come to a deep appreciation and testimony of the priesthood! I am so thankful that I have access to it! One of the things that I learned this week was that I need to take advantage of every moment that I have here! I am trying to bring up the gospel in every conversation that I have with people. It's hard even for missionaries, but so important! You never know how far a brief message about the gospel can go!
I was also tempted this week. We went into Walmart and one of my favorite songs was on....and I can't sing OR dance to it! Ahhh!! That was just a trial run because we also went to a wedding reception where they played ALL OF MY FAVORITE SONGS. Man, I am learning self-restraint!
Anyways, the mission life is going great! My testimony grows every day! Remember that God answers prayers!
Loves and a hug from Kansas,
Sister Parry
