Well nothing really interesting has happened in the last 3 days except that yesterday they called 3 new ward missionaries which I am totally excited about!! So this'll be kinda short, but I just want to share something interesting - a cool little thought or little revelationish thing that I had yesterday.
Yesterday in church as Sister showed up to our branch. She is a return missionary from Moscow who served in my mission. She went home a little bit after I got here and has already been home for 6 months (thats a scary thought). But it was so cool to see her yesterday and she was talking to my companion and me and just was saying basically how sad she is to not be a missionary still. She said you can never turn back the time and come back to this. You can serve people still and meet with the missionaries all you want, but it will never be the same. She said that God just fills you with so much light and love for these people that you never get at any other time in your life. These are all things that I had heard before, but it was different this time. The spirit really told me how important this time is and how important it is to use it correctly and wisely and to always remember your purpose as a missionary. I think the reason that it touched me more this time than any other time was because this was a sister that I knew when she was still a missionary and was now talking to as a returned missionary. I remember her final testimony at the transfer meeting. It was so powerful, you could just tell that there was nothing that she loved more than her mission. Just to hear that from someone that I had seen in action as a missionary and then seeing them afterwards really impressed me and really made me think about my mission and where I want to take it for the next year. A really powerful experience for me.
Hope you all had a great weekend too and have a great week this week!
