MISSIONARY WORK IS GREAT!

HEEEEYYYYYYYYYYY!

WOAH.....That is my only word for this week is woah...

As I said in my last email I am a trainer...yea I know, what were they thinking right?

I just got out of my training a little while ago so it is great. It is a little crazy but I love every minute of it. For anyone that is wondering, no I have not cried yet...I have however almost cried about 3 times but I just make myself laugh really hard, hahaha and then everything is great! I love being a missionary though so I have nothing to cry about!! I am on the Lords errand! And I love it so much!

Not a lot to report about this week! But I got my TRAINEE on Thursday! Her name is Sister Burk and she is from Arizona, but the mountain part so she gets snow. But, I know that it is nothing like the great state of Michigan snow!;) She is great, she makes me laugh haha, so it is pretty fun!

One cool thing that we did this week was we went up to Lake Isabella to Door Knock and NO ONE was answering the door. I was mad that no one was answering so I was like forget this, there are people ice fishing on the lake! So we are going on the frozen lake to PC (personal contact) these people ice fishing! So we went and Sister Burk was soo scared haha I could not stop laughing! There was a pretty good crack right down the center of the ice which was fun hahah but we got 3 phone numbers which was awesome!:) 

Then this guy was not having our message, he was not interested all! But I was like "Hey would it be okay if I took a picture with all of your ice fishing stuff?" and he was like "YES THAT IS GREAT!" So there are some pictures of me "ice fishing" - I was being a fisher of men. ;)

Then last night we were talking to some other missionaries who said that we aren't allowed to do that, which I didn't know that was a rule. But I can't help but think that maybe those three people really needed our message! It was such a fun day!:) 

This week I want you all to read Mormon 9!! I read it the other morning and it is such a good chapter of The Book of Mormon! I love the Book of Mormon it truly is the "BOM" Haha sorry lame joke... but it is great and I want you all to know that for yourselves!!! I love you all so so so so so much!!:) I hope you are doing amazing!

I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!

Love, Sister Wilde

AHHH I'M A TRAINER!!!

Hello Everyone,

Yes, so the top is correct I am going to be training for the next two transfers!!! Ahhh! I have only been a missionary for 12 weeks myself! HAHA! I cannot even begin to express how excited and grateful I am to teach a to a new missionary! I am even more excited to follow the Spirit in this whole process of teaching someone how to be a missionary! I cannot wait to rely on the spirit now more than ever! I love being a missionary and I am going to love training! 

So another Sister from the mission will be coming to serve with me in Mt. Pleasant until Wednesday, and then on Thursday morning we will drive down to Lansing to pick up our TRAINEES!!!!!!!!!!! 

Sister Ensign has been called to be a Sister Training Leader up in Petosky! That is as close to the U.P. that they send Sisters! So that will be really fun for her, and I am happy for her! Although it is really sad to part ways with her, she will be amazing!

So when you are called to be an S.T.L you get your transfer calls the night before everyone else! And I didn't know that. So on Thursday night we were daily planning and the phone rings and she says...,"It is President." So she answers and he tells us our callings and we both were so excited, it was so fun! 

I just want to know who my new SISTA is! I have been praying for her for many weeks so I am so pumped to meet her! MT PLEASANT IS WHERE IT IS AT!!!!! She is so lucky to get to meet all of the people here, it will be amazing!

My challenge for you all this week is.....to listen to the promptings of the spirit! That is something that as missionaries you are constantly doing, ALL THE TIME! Whether that be in a lesson or on the street you constantly have to be listening to the spirit! I hope as you all go about your week this week you remember that! I know that as you do so you will get answers to questions you have and you will receive guidance in your everyday lives!

I love you all very much and hope you are all doing FANTASTIC!! I love you all and will talk to you soon!!

Love, Sister Wilde

Email from the Mission President

Dear Brother & Sister Wilde,

This letter is to inform you that your daughter, Sister Alyssa Bea Wilde, has been called as a trainer. One of the greatest expressions of trust a Mission President can give a missionary is to assign her as a trainer of a new missionary.  A missionary’s first companion will have a profound and lasting influence on the development of the new missionary’s attitude and habits.

We look forward to working with your daughter in this assignment.  Thank you for raising such a wonderful daughter.

Sincerely,

Michael V. Jacobsen, President

Michigan Lansing Mission
