Wednesday May 8th I went over things then she told me I'm definitely ready to start shadowing (which I've felt ready for 1.5 wks). I got my training certificate. Little later I shadowed a guy. Right before shadowing she told me the guy has tattoos all down his arms and when she first noticed he got nervous and asked if he needed to leave or if its allowed. I thought it was sad he thought he might have to leave for something as small as his appearance.
Friday was a little rough, I started listening to conference talks. Then I listened to a worker train a new sister and we both asked questions. After that we shadowed the worker, he helped an elderly couple get family search account. They were amazed with family tree.
Saturday I did a session with a sister in my ward. It was packed. I think there was 3-4 new endowments. I think I overheard they were 5 seats short of a full session. We ended up sitting on the men's side with a few other sisters. Between endowment and celestial part I struggle with the words. The sister that helped me had a strong accent so it made it a little harder. But when I focused and really tried I was either able to understand her or figure it out on my own. Then initiatory was dead and within seconds I was in so I didn't have time to look over names. I quickly realized they were very hard names so I told them that I wasn't sure. They looked and said wow! Either hopefully they will have a good since of humor or will forgive us if we mispronounce them..
Sunday Mothers Day. A friend sent this to me to share with others so thought I'd share it with you.
"Jeffrey R. Holland has said to mothers: “You are doing . . . wonderfully well. He is blessing you and He will bless you, even—no, especially—when your days and your nights may be the most challenging. Like the woman who anonymously, meekly, perhaps even with hesitation and some embarrassment, fought her way through the crowd just to touch the hem of the Master’s garment, so Christ will say to the women who worry and wonder and sometimes weep over their responsibility as mothers, ‘Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole’” (“Because She Is a Mother”)."
Also please know whether your a mom or not you are loved, appreciated and needed.
Hope you all have a good week!
Sister Gill
