Out with the old in with the new

I know I have said this before and I will probably say it again but every time I sit down to write I very rarely know exactly what I am going to say. Today is no different... Let see, This week has been full of changes. My companion came in and stared "throwing out" all the old ways of doing things and brought in a lot of new ways of doing things. It has been a minor adjustment. This area needed some good organization. I am glad she was willing to take on the job. I still feel very new and not used to how things go as a missionary yet. I have felt a bit overwhelmed at times and I have realized that as much as I do like change sometimes it is hard to adjust to very quickly. Why is that? I know there are some of you out there that "move with the cheese" as that one book teaches but how do you do it so quickly and so positively. I think I am somewhere in the middle. I can't remember how many mice our involved in the book but I want to say there was 4. Two that choose to move with the cheese quickly and two that stayed until it was gone. I would say I am somewhere in the middle. I adjust to change quickly but it depends on what the changes is. I should re-read that book when I get home! haha. It has only been a week though I know I will adjust. I really enjoy learning from new companions. I think I have a thing with teaching 10 year old. Haha I realized that this week. My first baptism was a mother and her 10 year old. My next is a 10 year old and this week we just found a new 10 year old to teach and she has a baptismal date for the end of the month. I love them all though! They have such strong testimony's. It will be awesome to see them grow up in the gospel. I can see at least 2 of them serving missions somewhere down the road! Now when I read the scriptures about children and how we should become like them I have 3 wonderful examples to look to. I feel like I learn from them more then I teach them. I can't think of anything else to say! Let's see what have I learned this week..... Yesterday the Elders in my district had a baptism. Hermana H and I were in charge of the missionary moment. We talked about the importance of the priesthood. I am not sure if I have wrote about how important it is before but I am realizing how important it is. Without it we would not have the authority from God. The other day my companion and I were driving down the road and saw these two what looked to be police cars. However as we passed them on the side of the car it said the words "Movie car". I am not sure what movie was being made or who was the driver of the cars. There wasn't anyone in sight but besides that sticker on the side saying what these cars really were they we identical to a police car. A few days later we were driving out of our apartment complex and saw 4 guys handcuffed waiting for the police to load them into the cars. I am not sure what had happened. I live in the Ghetto so who knows really. Now bringing all this together with the Priesthood. Can you imagine if these movie police cars tried to pull you over and arrest you and your 3 friends? I would be a little confused as to why the words "movie car" were posted on the side. I would not take them seriously. I think I would be half believing half not. I would be in a out of what was going on. I mean the car looks real. The people I am sure would be no doubt dressed in cop attire but the sticker on the side would throw me off. If A REAL cop came to arrest me and my 3 friends. I would know that they were serious and do exactly what they told me to do. It is like this guy who took the cops on a few hour chase a few weeks ago in CA. I only saw part of the news since it was on when we went to our investigators house but at the end the guy realized he was doomed. He got out of the truck put his hands up and did everything the police asked. In thinking about all this combined I know the importance of the message I carry as a missionary. I don't have the priesthood but I know a few people that do... Okay actually a lot. I am surrounded by Elder's! haha! They literally carry the power of God to act in his name. It is amazing when you think about it. I am seeing the responsibility more then I ever have before in those that hold the priesthood. I know I still have a lot to learn on this subject but I am realizing more and more how closely connected it is with God. Well this is my last email before I talk to you next week! I am really excited! I can't wait! I hope you have a great week! I am not sure what time we will call. My companion and I will work it out this week! I think around dinner time for you. Call you soon! -Hermana Fish LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
