Week 10- This is DETERMINATION

Theme word of the week right there!!!! Everyone determination is a GAME CHANGER. 

I got a new companion!! Sister Nielson is the absolute best!  I couldn't have asked for a better follow up trainer. I wanna go back and tell myself to CHILL out and not be so scared because she's exactly what I needed! I feel like a different missionary... idk what's happening to me. My fear flew out the window this week. Our favorite word was determination and we worked sooooo hard this week. We're building up Crewe! It's the best feeling and I know for a fact it's because the Savior is walking right next to us. Saw a crazy amount of miracles and found so so much joy in this work! Everyone keeps saying they forget I'm new and I'm a natural teacher which is ridiculous to hear but makes me feel so good. I guess I'm improving! What a blessing it is to not only recognize so much growth, but feel my heart literally expand full of love for this work and the people around me. 

My Mom and Dad are the best 2 people on planet Earth. Last week I received this council from them (future mission presidents just wait) 

1. Don't compare!

2. Don't assume!

3. WORK HARD! 

Because my parents are always right...that's exactly what I did! And boy it was so worth it and boy did it work!! I'm so grateful for them and that simple yet so powerful instruction. We get 100% battery life everyday, how are we going to use it??

I told myself that I would be fully immersed in the work this week and in return I felt so much comfort from my brother, Jesus Christ. He's so aware of us, all we need is to show him we are capable of this and we want to work hard!!! So show him! 

First thing that happened to us right as Sister Nielson made it to Crewe was a lady on the bus (full of so many people) yelled out so loud to us "ARE YOU AMERICANS???!!!" Then, she grabbed a man's face next to her and kissed him. Welcome to Crewe Sister Nielson!!! 

Thank you all for being so freaking awesome. You all rock. Send me some cool studies or things you learn this week so I can share it with new friends on the street. Love you all!!! Also please please let me know If there is anything I can pray for, for you, or anyone you know! Cheeeeers!

Enjoy the best testimony ever from our new member Samuel down below. Love him so much

Love ya,

Sister Smith
