Sister Wankier's Mission

These are the faces for this week haha it's been an awesome and crazy week.

So last week I talked about our miracle with fulion and this week we got to have lunch with the Cypress creek sisters and they came down to talk with fulion and it opened her up and she started talking and we loved it!! She is the sweetest little human ever. We talked and talked and talked and shared a small message and than Sister komo ended the lesson with a prayer in mandarin. And it was BEAUTIFUL even fulion said so :))

During this lunch we discussed the next step for fulion and how she can be endowed in the temple. And she said no I cannot my husband cannot come. And so we got to express that as missionaries and women now we can attend the temple unmarried and by ourselves. And her eyes LIT UP she was like "you go by self" and we were like YES!! We can go by ourselves. And so we discussed it and she was like I want to be endowed. I want to go to the temple. I want to be inside. And we were like of course fulion we will meet with the bishop this Sunday. AND SHE SAID SHE WANRS US TO BE THERE SHE IS THE SWEETEST!! she trusts us so much it means so much to me!! She now texts us all the time and we went over this week for a quick lesson about the temple and explained temple prep classes with her for the next 2 weeks before the temple :)) We are praying we can go with her to the temple as we were leaving the lesson she was cooking dinner for her husband haha but said that we couldn't leave without anything and so she pulled a pancake miz bag out and opened it and it was APPLES haha I haven't seen veggies and fruit got ages being fed at the houses of our ward members haha so I definetly cried of relief seeing fruit no cap!!

This week we were really focused on our members active and inactive and so we stopped in on about 5 inactive families spending a few hours with all of them. Getting to know them and 3 of them attending church this Sunday and 2 of them gave us refferals SO LETS GO!! We are so hyped about our ward!!

The subject line this week is because we have been putting in some WORK this week and I feel like Heavenly Father is the only reason I am able to move forward in this work because I am mentally and emotionally exhausted which is definetly worse than physically exhausted haha

Honestly I know there was more this week but I cannot remember all of it now and I have run out of time haha I love and miss y'all like crazy!! God is so good :))

LOVE YOU

Sister Wankier

P.s. we went to hibachi and it was FIRE!! thank you Garza family

P.p.s I LOVE LEMONADE STANDS HAHA

P.p.p.s we came home Sunday night and crashed. Couldn't move. Struck dumb with aches haha the work is worth it but doesn't mean it isn't hard haha

(HEYYY So this email is for 2 weeks ago haha I meant to just hit send but I never did so here we are with 2 emails coming today :)))

YOOOO WHAT IS UP!!

HAPPY WEEKLY MISSIONARY DAY!!

and labor day I guess too haha

This week has some CRAZINESS GOING ON!! I mean when doesn't Towne Lake but Still!!

OKAY IM NOT KIDDING I LITERALLY ATE 3 MEALS IN ONE DAY LIKE CRAZINESS IUT HERE AND THAY WERENT EVEN SIGNED UP!!! So we have missionary correlation meetings with our ward mission leader and he fed us lunch than we stopped by some members to give them thank you notes for feeding us and THEY FED US MORE they gave us dunch and than we ended our night at the hosford home and they were using a new cooking tool thing and said to stay for dinner and so we got 3 MEALS ON A FAST SUNDAY!! bless our ward heart is all I have to say!!!

Onto the highlights from this week were definetly finally getting in contact with Dayo. He is a recent member of our ward who had to move here from the South mission!! The elders in the south mission that baptized him are awesome!! So we get to teach him the follow up material and help him progress on the Covenant path which is awesome.

He's only been a member for 5 months and he is working working hard to be faithful and in church it's inspiring. We pray we can help him and king become besties. Because king could use a good influence. This week we got to finally see him at church and the ward members LOVED that they were all so amazing to him. Meeting him coming closer to him building friendships.

When we said goodbye after church he said that it feels just like the ward before. Warm and kind and full of the word of God. So he's like totally awesome!!! And we get to call him quite a bit for lessons and his testimony is just tender!! We are so excited to see where he goes in this gospel.

The next COOLEST MOMENT OF MY WHOLE MISSION was on exchanges and we were talking about our ward and weird meals we have had and I talked about fullions traditional Chinese lunch I wasn't ready for. And Sister Ashworth the queen my favorite said that sister komo speaks mandarin. And so she can help us teach fullion... let me like show you my face x100 like no cap. For background, the whole last transfer and this transfer our relief society has had the ward council and missionaries praying for ways to communicate with fulion!! And this transfer our prayers were answered because of Sister Teerlink. She was companions with Sister komo and so we called her as soon as the exchange was over and talked our relief society president and sister komo and the APS and EVERYONE SAID LETS GO!! AND WE GET TO HAVE LUNCH WITH EVERYONE NEXT WEEK. So kinda a super cool miracle because of Sister Teerlink.

It was the coolest thing ever actually getting to see prayers answered in ways we couldn't have imagined. Like God is so good!! Like so good!!

Anyways small funny miracle also on this exchange we had service at a cool food bank and so we helped people get food for the week and than afterwords we ran to the church to change before a lesson and I went in the bathroom sister Ashworth was in the mother's room and when I came out I hear "sister wankier.. how do you open a door with no handle.." I walked over to see what she was saying and sure enough the door has no handle hahaha kinda crazy so we had to get her out and sure enough there was a butter knife inside and I used it to turn the nob and get her out. It was a hilarious moment.

OKAY OKAY another small cool miracle I got to see Sister Radford not only once.. but twice SO LETS GO!! IT WAS SO HYPE on exchange they live in an apartment across the complex and so they came over and talked OH AND GUESS WHAT the man who I got to go to his ASL lesson is now on date for his baptism in 2 weeks SO LETS GO!!! it's so cool to hear he is progressing so well. And the second time was when we were the bartenders of the ward dance

Hehe we got to sneak into the dance and be the bartenders which was awesome!! We cannot dance technically publicly so that was kinda sad. BUT we got to be there and make all the dirty sodas you can imagine and everyone LOVED IT it was so much fun. We had the ASL sisters there. And the Wheatstone elders because we invited wheatstone to the dance for more people and more missionary opportunities. It was so much fun we enjoyed bonding with our ward more. Next time hopefully we will have some friends there too.

Okay okay okay im finally done haha I'm so sorry it's so long just so many miracles happening. It's amazing.

HOLD UP speak of miracles a random inactive came to church on Sunday saying she was drawn back and bore her testimony and is simply THE COOLEST WOMEN EVER.

Okay now I'm all done haha

God bless y'all

It's been the coolest craziest week!!

Y'all rock

Much love
