Sister Cottrell's Mission Blog!

Hi everyone!! I can't believe it's already another week has gone by! I feel like my emails are just going to be boring because we do the same thing here all the time haha. It's fun though! Being a missionary is great!  This Sunday was really cool! Sundays here are a little bit weird because we still have a lot of classes which is different but I look forward to going to church every week! This week Hermana Blatter and I taught relief society and it was such a cool experience. We just wrote down questions and I told everyone they could either participate and we could have a good lesson or we could sit in silence jajaja. Thankfully, everyone participated and the Spirit was just so strong. That night President Garcia pulled me up on the stand and I had to speak for a bit at a devotional. It was a cool experience and him and his wife keep telling me they wish they could adopt me jajaj. Ill send a picture of them today!  Monday I was SO happy because we went to the store...

HEY MY PEOPLE!!!!  Guys, let me tell you something. BEING A MISSIONARY IS THE BEST THING IN THE WORLD. GOT IT?? It is so fun. Its so hard, like so hard but it really is the work of God and I'm humbled that I have the opportunity to serve a mission.  Okay so last week I mentioned that I was having a really hard time with my district. After P day on Wednesday, I really didn't want to see the elders like at all. But we witnessed a miracle! There was a group of our elders sitting in a circle talking and for some reason I started listening to them. They were talking about one of the elders girlfriends and how he felt like she was his first convert. The spirit was so strong and I went over there just crying to them telling them how awesome they are. All 12 of us got in a big circle and started talking about why we were on missions. THE SPIRIT WAS SO STRONG! oh my gosh I just bawled. We were all bawling and just felt like brothers and sisters. I love them so much and I am so ...
