We don't have a car this week so it is a little
harder to do some things! As for Sister Badger-- I love her and we get along
great! She is super nice and she has helped me a lot! This week sounds like
y'all had a lot of fun! I just really miss all of you so much and can't wait to
talk to you either! Well-- where to even
begin.... so Sister Badger is from Provo. This week we had lots of meetings so the first one we had was a
Zone Conference and Sister Bauer and I had to teach so that was a little hard
because we are separated. So that is a
little harder than usual, but we made it and it was funny because that was my
last zone conference-- so yes, it was pretty sad! I cried a bit and now it
starts with all the lasts!! So then Friday we had CMLC, which is our leadership meeting and Sister Badger
had to go back with her companion that she fought with for the day which was an
experience. At that meeting, President talked to me about what he is
planning on doing for the rest of my mission. He told me that I will finish
here in Zebulon with Sister Badger so that should be great!! She might hate
being a missionary but she is honestly one of the hardest workers I know! She
is really organized so I am learning a lot!! I have even been keeping my
clothes hung up for part of the week!! Dad you should be proud!! hahahaha! Some
things will never change!! As for the
teaching part of the week--well this has been one of the hardest parts of my
mission I think especially this
week! So on Tuesday I got a really bad
cold and we went over to see George. Well
lets just say my heart has never hurt so much. The worst part about it is, he still wants to meet and learn
about the Book of Mormon so I still have to see him all the time! Pretty much long
story short, it was the hardest lesson I
have ever had. He asked us if we would
read the first 12 chapters of John with him.
So we started and pretty much he just, under the table, bible bashed us
the whole time. I honestly
don’t know what happened but I think that he gets confused and now he is just lost. We still meet with
him and I love him so much still but it is hard and he is much farther than I
thought. Like for example, he knows all
of this deep doctrine but he believes in the Trinity. He told us in the first lesson that he didn't
but I guess he changed his mind. I guess
this is where your heart gets torn as a missionary because you want all these
blessings for the people that you love but they are just so blinded by the
world and by the things around them that they forget to go to the source of
truth. I have learned so much about a broken heart and a contrite spirit and
what it truly means between testimony and conversion. I know that this is the
Lord's work though and that it all happens for a reason. George just has to go
through some things before he is ready for he fullness of the Gospel! So other
than that, Sister Badger and I have been
working our tails off! We are just
finding “do not contacts” and less actives and people to teach! Honestly,
Sister Badger is one of the smartest people I know and I am lucky to learn from
her each day! Today Sister Miller
is taking us to Raleigh so my letter and things might be a little late if I get
them off but I want you all to know that I love you and that I know this is the
true church. I can’t even explain to you how much I love this gospel! I know it
is true and I know that I have a Savior who loves me and who knows me! I know
that Joseph Smith was a true Prophet and I am grateful for all that he went
through for me! I know that I can be with each of you forever and I am so
grateful for the blessings of the Temple! I know that the Book of Mormon is
true and I know that it gives me the strength I need each day! I am grateful
for each of you!
Love always Cass
