Pictures 1 & 2 We drove a lot this
week,( exchanges and meetings)-this is our road trip mascot, Sriracha. Haha
thanks mommy
for the little friend!!! We love him:)
Pictures 3-5- -ROAD TRIPS!!! They're becoming a normal part of life.
Haha missionary work, beautiful
scenery, bike racks and pick ups. That is life right now. Shell Falls!
Beautiful spot to stop and stretch our legs along the way. And Big Horn!!
Picture 6-exchanges with the Worland Sisters!!
Picture 7-sister Clegg and I biked everywhere. Literally everywhere.
Haha it was pretty good for the most
part, but we met one lady who we really struggled with. She was a referral from a member. Someone said she could use some love....so when
we first knocked on the door, she
said "I love Mormons! Come on
in!!" So we came in and started talking with her. We mentioned that our
message is centered on Jesus Christ, then she just goes off. It was one
of the toughest moments of my mission. She said some of the most
awful, disgusting, hurtful things. We were stunned. I've never heard
someone talk like that about anyone or anything, let alone talk about
our Savior, Jesus Christ like that. I have never been so hurt by the words people have said on
my whole mission. It broke my heart to hear
someone talk like that. I have been
praying and trying to forget the
things she's said. It broke my heart that #1-someone would talk that way
about anyone or anything, but especially about her brother, Jesus
Christ. And #2-that someone has been so hurt through life that she
has such a hardened view of life and our Savior. We were in quite the
slump after that. But it's those moments that we get to take, and
bear our testimonies to each other.
Picture 8-life is way to short to
not climb trees. Even in a skirt.
Pic 9
Sister Wong, me, Sister Davis and
Sister Crosland. Love these amazing sisters! Lovell has the biggest
stake center in the U.S. It's amazing!
I love this little town though. We
just biked around all day! It was great:)
Pictures 10-12-super dark and blurry. But
as we were biking home at the end of the night, Sister Crosland and I
realized that EXACTLY 1 year ago, it was our first night being
companions. And guess what we were
doing?! Biking home in Great Falls
and this same time of night. In the dark. Haha so we had to take a
picture.
Love this lady so much.
Love this lady so much.
for the apron mommy!!!
Picture 16- We have spent some great time cooking and serving food at a homeless shelter....we did not take pictures there ...but outside in BEAUTIFUL Wyoming cause it was a great day! People Rock!
Picture 17-we got to teach primary sharing time in Ranchester on
Sunday!! Love these kids. We taught
about "the scriptures teach that
the gospel will be preached through
all the world" and talked about
missionary work! It was awesome.
Then we had them all write a letter
to President and Sister Wadsworth.
These kids are so precious!
I love Wyoming, my companion and the
work we are doing!
Talk to you in a week
Love Sister Hodsgon
LOVE all the pics!! Heavenly Father will help those hurtful things leave your heart and mind. You are wonderful!!
