Hello there,
It is pretty smoky here in Lewiston. The local people are telling Sister Winsor and I that the major fire in Kamiah is the biggest in the nation and it has been very difficult for the firefighters to contain. But we are praying for them everyday!
This last p-day we played missionary basketball and it was SO much fun playing again! I miss it tremendously!
I don't know if you remember Lydia Bjornn, but she is the less active who we have been meeting with. We met with her at the Stake Center on Tuesday and had a lesson on the Restoration and she said she felt the spirit. We committed her to come to church on Sunday and she showed up!!! Sister Winsor and I taught the lesson in Relief Society on "The Elders of the Church" meaning the senior citizens. I really liked teaching this lesson because it helped me to know what I want to do with my own family.
On Thursday I had my first Zone Conference! The assistants came down from Spokane the night before with the transfer van and we left the next morning to go up to Moscow. The conference was from 9-4 and after we drove back to Lewiston, Sister Winsor and I had dinner with the assistants and the zone leaders. We had Wendy's and I bet you know what I got! Yep you guessed right, I had a number 6! It was delicious!
After dinner we had 3 appointments and they ALL fell through. I was having a hard time with it. I know I should not be discouraged about it but I am feeling like Alma when he was leaving Ammonihah. The people were not wanting to listen to him but an angel appeared to him and told him to rejoice because of his faith in keeping the commandments of God. But a tender mercy came to us! Some sisters called us with a referral. Her name is Amanda Pehan and she is 21 years old. She is a Church headquarters referral and you want to know something fantastic... she referred herself! Yay! Someone who actually wants to talk to us! We are meeting her Tuesday and we are super excited to see her!
This is the last week of my first transfer ~ it is amazing how fast time goes by. I hope all is well at home!
Love you all! Toodaloo!
Sister Schmidt
