I don't have much time this week on account of I got a lot of emails from people who aren't family for the first time and it was great. I'm basking in the love. It's a feeling akin to being in the temple. (First time realization of that). Also, not much has happened so this will be a quickie.
I think we all--the Nauvoo Sisters--have had a little more struggle with focus, as the work has gone down and our mission inside a mission (oh my gosh, I would have a meta mission) is coming soon. I've been praying for focus and increased desire, and Heavenly Father does answer prayers, even when I forget I've given them (because I can't focus. . . ha). I've had an increased realization and internalization of just how important it is that all of us sisters are here together, live together, and have this unique time to be together. I have felt that every sister here needs this time with such great friends for a reason, and I'm trying to utilize that time.
We have started teaching the Seniors in role play at night. They are very sweet. I imagine that real teaching situations will be quite different. The seniors just don't quite have that sense of urgency or need that I think others will have in knowing and trying to understand the Gospel. But we get to feel the Spirit all the time, and that's quite nice. Now to carry that feeling on into the life after mission. . . er, I mean, I never think about that time. . .
Ok, I love you!
Love,
Sister Rachel
