being on a mission makes me somewhat okay with that. It seems like
lately, we've been teaching a lot of eternal marriage lessons and have
been asked by a lot of people about it. Hmm, we'll let me speak from
experience... Oh wait. Nevermind. #singlelife.
Quote of the day:
"Wait, you went to BYU I Do?"
"Yeah, for 2 years."
"And you didn't get married?"
"Yeah, definitely didn't get married."
"Oh. That's okay. I'm sure that doesn't mean anything."
Aaaaand there it is. THANK YOU.
We had so many miracles happen this week of walking up to people and
them telling us all about what theyre struggling with in life without
us even asking. It's so cool to see how people can feel our authority
as representatives of Jesus Christ. It still amazes me that people can
feel that we're different, because I feel like I'm normal. But I'm
not. I've been called by a prophet of god to bring this gospel to
complete strangers in Florida.
We had an AWESOME zone conference this week. The spirit slapped me in
the face SO hard. Heavenly Father basically said, "Sister Trebotich,
don't you waste this time. Don't you let this hard companion drag you
down. This is not your mission, this is mine. These are not your
people, these are mine. And you better take care of them the way you
promised with the time I'm giving you."
And then I almost got hit by a car when we were riding our bikes home
night. Legit, it was so close to hitting me. But angels are
protecting me, so we're all good. Near death experience NÚMERO UNO.
Then some pipe in our apartment complex broke and all of our water got
contaminated with some deadly virus, so we had to move in with some
sister missionaries up in Bradenton and we're having a BLAST. But
hopefully we'll be able to move back soon, because it's a little
cramped on the floor in their apartment haha. Unfortunately, pretty
sure I had filled my water bottle up before they notified us that the
water was contaminated. But I'm still kicking, so I think I'm good.
Near death experience NÚMERO DOS.
We also are now over two wards, which is kinda cool. Except the family
ward were over is full of some crazy people. One lady gets up to bear
her testimony and it's straight about pornography. I'm not going to
get into details, but it was SUPER awkward and way inappropriate. Holy
holy. This is going to be a trip. Hahah.
Anyways, this week the big thing I learned is that we constantly stand
in our own way of progression. Sometimes when Heavenly Father gives us
something super hard, we pray for him to deliver us or we beg him to
help us, and then that's it. That's all we do. That's why it never
works, because we have to put effort into it too! I can't just pray
that Heavenly Father will bless me with love for sister day, I have to
pray for it and the to and serve her or go and compliment her. Or go
and do SOMETHING, otherwise it was an empty prayer. If we're not
willing to do our part, we aren't going to see any changes.
Heavenly Father continues to teach me everyday just how imperfect I
am, but just how much he loves me anyway. I am so grateful to be a
missionary and to be able to have these 18 months focused on Him and
His children. It's the greatest blessing.
There's been a whole lot of crazy this week, but none of it is really
all that important. Haha.
Sister Treboitch
