Hello
To answer your questions we didn't get to watch any of the olympics.
I sure did get my packages! I opened them, but not the presents! you are spoiling me! Thank you so much!!! I also got a package from Lynette, and a birthday card from grandma landon! I am really excited to have my birthday here in the mission! There are a few people that share my birthday out here! Elder Abbott, and Leah Chaffee who is a non member we go and visit all the time! :) It's really awesome! :)
I was going really fast down the road one day and a cop saw me and pulled me over.......I was really nervous but I was determined to make this a teaching opportunity! The cop needed our license so she asked why we were in ohio and we told them about the church and asked her if she went to church, adn then we talked about church for a while and then gave her a card with our number and the church address and she went on her way! :) it was pretty great! : )It went out in a voicemail to the zone about taking every opportunity to teach!
We had a great sister training this week as well! I will write you what I learned! I am almost out of time!:)
This week has been a pretty good week for me personally I have seen myself being molded and shaped into a better more obedient missionary. Especially as we talked on the leadership conference call last night I have recommitted myself to be exactly obedient. Sister Shelley and I are working on this together. Sister specialized training was great for me! It really helped me to remember who I am as a daughter of Heavenly Father and who I have the potential to become.Our Companionship has been getting better, we are more on the same page, and have a more unified vision as to what we want together and that has been really great! we have our moments but we work through them as always! I am learning so much from Sister Shelley. she is teaching me how important it is to always be worthy to represent the savior in the most professional manner.
The area is doing well. We have been able to find more than usual, some of our investigators are dropping us, but we are being blessed with more people to teach as our pool decreases. That is a huge blessing. I know that as we have a greater focus on obedience and working smart our area will blossom, not just be doing well. We have several people that have soft dates for baptism, but they have a few major things that they need to learn before they can be baptized, so we will be praying and fasting that those things won't be quite so much of a big deal for them when we discuss it with them!
Love Sis. buhler
