New Mission President & Bug Soup - Yum?

 This one's gonna be short because I am tired :)))))

TWO FRIENDS AT CHURCH: Judy and Amber came to church this week! What a miracle! We had an ice-cream social afterwards which was so awesome! 

PRESIDENT JOHN: President John and his family have made their trip to Texas TODAY!! I'll get to meet them in person on Wednesday! I'm so excited! 

ATE BUG SOUP- So yeah, we went over to this members home expecting to just chat and have a lesson, but she was so kind, she made us lunch!  We just felt really bad, things we going wrong left and right. She was making Kool-aid for us when she somehow broke the jar and Kool-aid went all over the counter, floor, and herself. She had to go take a shower. After that she gave us a sandwich and some potato soup. Which wasn't too bad. She set a jar of crackers by us and told us we could have crackers with it. I'm not exaggerating at all, the jar was full of bugs, probably more bugs than crackers. So obviously, Sister Liechty and I don't eat those. But it didn't matter anyway because we both found bugs in our soup haha. I still ate it all 

THE LION OF JUDAH- Soo we met with this lady who we intended to have a first lesson with, but it took an unexpected turn. She showed us pictures of the snow and asked us if we could see "it." We were supposed to see the face of a lion, representing the Lion of Judah. Then she kept relating dates and number back to John F. Kennedy and his family, and she told us that God was coming and that she was Jesus. Anyway, kind of crazy but that's part of the mission and I wouldn't have it any other way. 

GOD'S PLAN IS PERFECT: Despite all the craziness that goes on in this life, something that I've been learning is that God's Plan is Perfect. I have to believe that, can you? Amidst all the unfairness, the cruelty, the confusion, the sadness, I know this is all temporary. We had one of our friends ask us to stop meeting with her because she thought we didn't believe in mixed race marriages. We explained it to her and even let her know I am the product of a mixed marriage, but she wouldn't have it. Which we were so sad to hear because she was so amazing, it was sad we had to stop teaching her over nothing. BUT, I'm so thankful for a merciful God who gives us chance after chance. I know our friend will have another chance to accept whether that be in this life or the next. 

SECOND SPIRITUAL THOUGHT: This week was a little hard on me. I just found myself sad. Sad for a lot of reasons and sometimes sad for no reason at all. One day when I was doing my personal study, I was literally lead by the Spirit to this specific talk called "pointing our souls to Christ." It was exactly what I needed to hear. I need to have faith in Jesus Christ, faith that because of Him everything's gonna be alright, faith that He can heal me in every single way.

Note from mom:  Jayda sent these pics through FB messenger so I will add them, but there are no captions with them.

Mom note: I added this just because I like to see my missionary smile  :)

Mom note: guessing she added this because of the cool mileage number?
