Selamat hari Senin!!
Apa kabar?
Hopefully everyone is doing well. I had a pretty great week
this week! here's how it went,.
Senin: We went to Kraton as a District. There wasn't much
there but it's fun to spend time as a district and see the cool king stuff. It
was a pretty laid back pday, except for we all got interviewed a million times.
There are college kids that are majoring in English and as an assignment they
have to interview an English speaker. Well there were 7 at Kraton the other day
with all of us missionaries so they were following us and ya... I felt like a
celebrity. It kinda stinks, you can't go anywhere!
Selasa: Just a normal day. Not much happened except work, work, work.
Rabu: We rode FAR! And up and down a bunch of hills. We had
a good lesson where we didn't do much of the teaching but I learned a lot, and
we met a person who has read my blog! That was pretty neat :) His english is
awesome and he's super receptive to our message.
Kamis: me and Sister Fisher hit our 1000th contact today!
Wow I can officially say I have met 1000s of people. It just took around 5
weeks to meet 1000 so the whole span of my mission? wow...it's probably safe to
say I've been rejecedt about that many times too ;) We celebrated with JCO
doughnuts and more contacting. Woot!
Jumat: My birthday!!! I can't believe I'm 20!? We met with a
person who we thought was an investigator and turns out to be a
member..awkward. We hadn't met him at church before but don't worry we did this
Sunday. Then we had DDM and the Elders all wished me a happy birthday. After
DDM we went to our friends in Baliwarti and they had an awesome traditional
Solo Lunch ready for me and Sister Fisher. We ate a took pictures and shared a
message about faith. It was so fun! Later that night after English class the
whole district went to Pak Jons and I got to treat them all ;) And they caked
me! I got flour and water poured all over me (that's part of the tradition
here. Usually there's eggs too). It was awesome and I couldn't stop smiling the
whole way home ;) unfortunately it wasn't my camera that got the pictures so
bare with me as we wait to get those from other people. I'm so grateful for
such a great day and a cool way to spend my 20th! serving a mission in
Indonesia...I couldn't hope for a better birthday!

Sabtu: We worked hard and had a long day but a good day! We
met with Ibu Ima and she's really progressing. Then On sunday...
Hari Minggu: we were learning about the Plan of Salvation
and Ibu Ima said "so many people don't know about this and the revelation
from Joseph Smith and they need to know." Me and Sister Fisher were thinking YA!
We agree and that's why we're here!!! We were so happy with her response to
that and she's been so well prepared to receive the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Then she said she wanted to be a missionary (she's too old to serve a full time
mission but everymember a missionary!). AHH! Sister Fisher and I were on cloud
nine!!! So happy :)
I know this church is true! I know it with my whole heart and there isn't anything that can convince me otherwise. I know Christ lives. He loves us. and He always provides opportunities for us to come back to Him and our Father in Heaven.
I love you all! Thank you for the birthday wishes and the
love!
Love,
Sister Sperry :)
