Macey Gates: Sister Macey Gates // Week Ten

This week has been super interesting haha but it ended up being so good! JESUS IS GETTING BAPTIZED NEXT SUNDAY!!!!! YAYYYY!!!! Finally. Hes has alot of struggle with his parents, but he finally decided to talk to them and it went okay and now he is getting baptized! And then he said he wants to come out with us when we teach other people so he can help us and that is amazing having your investigator tell you he wants to help you. Christmas was amazing:) The best part was talking to MY FAVORITE FAMILY:) I did not wanna say bye and i coulda talked forever and i started crying when i had to go haha i stayed in the room a little more so no one saw that i was but i miss you guys SO MUCH!!!!! Awe it was the best day. And thank you for the packages and letters!! Oh gosh it was the best thing ever!!! I bauled when i opened all of them haha me and my companion both. We are so grateful for our family and friends. The christmas eve party with the whole mission was SO much fun haha the talent show was the funniest thing with everyone and their skits. It was fun to meet so many new people and half of them were like sister gates whats up?? and im just like heyyyy i dont know who you are but sup haha alot of people know me cause Elder Cook told them i was coming so that was fun. I saw Micah Mangum and Eva Beagley who we went to school with so i got to talk with them! And of course Elder Cook! We definitely met some interesting people this week! This lady we talked to said she died and came back to life and now she is a guardian angel and that Christ is just a regular man that taught people. She was quite the lady/ guardian angel but you just gotta love them people hahahha and we also met this guy who didnt think we needed religion and i was just talking to him for a while and he said he wanted his daughter to find herself and then i asked him if he has found himself haha that was definitely personal but it was okay and he said no. Then we invited him to church and he said no but he said he always feels like he wastes his time talking to people about religion and he said he didnt feel like he wasted his time so he must have learned something!! This cute little old guy was selling corn on the street so we bought some and it was so good! it had dee spices and i just told him to GET THE CARN OUTTA MA FACE! haha jk (Nacho) and we met this guy before we taught Jesus and he said his name was J-on cause he liked how it sounded better than Jon hahhaha he was quite the guy and didnt stop talking about everything you could possibly imagine so i taught jesus while my companion talked with him haha but seriously there are quite the peeps out there. Its been a really hard week with my companion. She hasnt been nice to me at all haha she yells at me all the time for every thing i do and im not exagerating. Ive just had to keep my mouth shut and she scared me so bad i couldnt even look at her the other day haha then last night we started talking and i asked he why she has to analyze everything i did and get mad at me but i definitely said it in a nice way and she said she didnt realize she was doing it and said she was really sorry cause it affected our week so much. She yelled at an athiest yesterday for no reason hahah and then after she was like i think i intimidated him! why didnt you back me up? and i was like you intimidated me!! haha she felt so bad haha but everything is good and she caught herself doing it this morning too but at least she recognized it:) She is so amazing and i need her to work with me cause i am still learning, but she needs to chill out sometimes haha but she that was fun to deal with haha but she definitely tests my patience but i just keep trying to serve her and help her out the best i can and not say anything to her cause Christ wouldnt do that. This week has been an amazing learning experience and im grateful for my savior and how i can turn to him when i cant handle things anymore. He is definitely there when i need it! I miss you all so much and im so grateful for all of you!!!! You have no idea. Always remember to turn to christ when ever you need help because he is ALWAYS there with his hands stretched out. We just have to grab them. I hope you all have a wonderful week and just know that i cooked bacon and i was SO GOOD BE JEALOUS. nbd. Have a great week:)
