Last Saturday we had service. We help pack bags at a good pantry and that was a lot of fun.
Last Sunday, I was eating some mac and cheese and I felt something hard and my filling had come out. So I had a bug hole in my tooth that kinda hurt honestly. But we were able to get into the dentist on Tuesday. He was very nice and did a great job. I'm all fixed up now.
This week I drove for the first time on my mission. It was really scary. Atlanta drivers are not awesome but we made it. Kinda nice to be able to drive again. It's been like 5 months since the last time i did.
I got to talk to Sister Ferris and sister Trussell on the phone this week and that was so fun. I miss being with them a lot but I'm glad I'm here too. I get to see them this Saturday!
Thanksgiving was so good! We went to our branch president's house. His whole family was there and they had really good smoked turkey. After dinner they all sat around playing the guitar and singing songs and it was just a really fun day. After dinner we went and played pickle ball with some members in another ward which was fun. I'm not very good at that game.
We went to the doctor on Friday because Sister younger has an ear infection. That was a long day. The doctor was a very long wait and we had to go over to Walmart to pick up some medicine and it was black Friday so pretty crazy but we got it done. And I'm glad she's going to get feeling better.
We went to the mall on Friday and got pictures with our district and Santa and talked to some people there at black Friday. It was wild in there.
Yesterday after church we had a break the fast and everyone brought their Thanksgiving leftovers. It was so good.
It's been hard this week because campus has been closed and we've been trying to find stuff to do but it is back open today so we are excited.
It has really tried my faith this week to not have anyone to talk to and kind of feeling like we were just wasting time. But I have faith that God will provide and that everything I'm doing is part of his plan for me and that I'm going to grow even of there isn't anyone here for us to talk to. It really reminded me of a scripture that I read this week as part of Come Follow Me. Its 1 Peter 1:6-7 and it says
"Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:
That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:"
I know that the trials of our faith bring us close to Jesus Christ and I'm grateful for that.
Have a great week!
Sister Coleman
