Sister Macey Gates // Week Forty-Six // "lessons to learn"

MISSIONS ARE AWESOME.

Things didn't get much better hahaha its got worse! It was awesome. So i finally called president and he met with us for about 3 hours, which the companion having trouble was in there for 2. He kinda got mad at her and she didn't think it was right...she needed it but i think he may have gotten a little too upset with her. BUT she got even worse after that haha i tried talking with her and she either mimicked me or ignored me. So i stopped trying to talk to her. It made me sad but there was nothing i could do. Yesterday at church she sat outside and didn't even take the sacrament. She was super mad and not very nice to the member, it was just sad but Hermana Glenn and I didn't wanna mess with her to we went to class. After church she left with a member without telling us. But luckily we knew which member so at 6 i picked her up, and Hermana Glenn went to a baptism. So i made sure we had a member with us hahaha i was scared!! She said she was going to have an anxiety attack so we went to the church and saw the AP's and she was on her way to chew them out... i had to hold her pack and push her into the primary room. I had the opportunity to talk with her, i just listened for about an hour on how she felt, and then i told her where i was coming from. She felt so bad she didn't even give us a chance to tell her where we were coming from or what we thought. I talked to her about forgiveness. She called president and luckily he didn't answer cause she was going to chew him out. That was not right. I talked to her about forgiving her family, we talked about the good things that happened between her family, and with the AP's and everyone else that she feels has hurt her. She finally decided to forgive them. She said that she is to blame for this too. I found out how much she has been lying to me haha that kinda hurt. But after she called president and apologized. I don't know if this is going to get better or keep getting worse but i know i was put with her for a reason. If we have to talk it out everyday we will. Poor girl. It has been really hard for me cause i love her and want to help her. But it has made me stronger in so many ways, taught me lots of patience, and never assume something about someone. So we don't find out what or when the changes are going to be, BUT we know there are going to be some. 

I was told this week by an elder i had bushy eyebrows. SO i'm going to get them threaded today, fix em up a bit haha how embarrassing!!!  Its fine i just laughed and agreed. My testimony is growing so much stronger in the atonement, i have felt the spirit stronger than ever before. I know this church is true, christ is with us every step of the way. We just have to forgive everyone that does wrong to us, I got yelled at pretty bad in the parking lot this week haha but i forgave that lady. We must be grateful in whatever circumstances we are in. Please don't judge anyone. Don't give anyone unfair expectations. LOVE EVERYONE:) 

I love you all so much. Thank you for your support. Don't ever stop sharing the gospel!!:)
