Sister Pugmire's journal of psycho
thoughts

"...one group is always a little bit
ahead of the other. i prefer to stick with the underdogs. the misfits. those who
are misunderstood. i don't care if it is opposed by those who live under the
same label that i do. i choose love. i will always choose love. and if that
confuses others then so be it. the universe is one my side--and if i choose love
then love will choose me. if i give love then love will find me. i may be
confused, and a little lost at times, but i have faith in the universe. i have
faith that my heart, mind, actions are recognized--even if i don't always know
by what. but i will indeed get what i give. and i am determined to give as much
love as my frazzled heart can give--and then some. and if it breaks me, so be
it. i would rather be in pieces than untouched by love. i would rather be
shattered than ignorant. i would rather be loud and misunderstood than quiet and
accepted. i choose love."
This week has been crazy.
Not physically, but mentally. There is so much to consider and think about
when you are sitting in a Historic Site for 7 hours (and only 20 or so people
come in for a tour).

I painted a weird moon thing on Sis. Heninger's arm with her
favorite word (mundane) on it. And also she always gives me weird notes when
we're doing teaching center. Here's one of them. Hahaha

The time for my outbound is
approaching, and it's starting to become real (eeeek). For those who don't know,
let me explain my mission a little:
It's a visitor's center mission!
In Nauvoo I am in a different historic site every day (and I wear my pioneer
dress), or I am assigned to serve in the Visitors Center (where I wear regular
Sunday clothes). Our only transfer is to carthage, and young sister are only
assigned there in the summer months. I had the privilege of serving there all
summer :) After our "shift" that day, we have dinner and then we do teaching
center! this is my favorite part of the day. We chat with people on Mormon.org,
email investigators, and make phone calls! I love it. It is my favorite way to
teach because I would much rather write than talk (mission calls really do come
from God, people.).
Like temple square missionaries,
we serve an outbound assignment where we proselyte! Our call can be to anywhere
in the United States. and I will receive my call sometime at the end of this
month, and I will most likely be leaving on October 9th. Then, after 6 month, I
will return to nauvoo to finish my mission :)
I hope that all made
sense!
I don't have much time, but
something cool happened this week. As we prepare for our outbounds, we have
dinner with Senior missionaries and after dinner we role play! They act like a
Less Active that they know, or a nonmember. That way we are receiving revelation
for a real person, and it is a learning experience for both of us. Sister
heninger and I prepared a lesson, and then went to our shifts. I was in the Lucy
mack Smith home, and a scripture came to me. I wrote it down, and wrote a short
blurb about it. Didn't think much of it. But when we got to the lesson, what I
had just thought about was the exact problem that the less active they were
acting like had. The less active was their daughter, so they were taking
everything we said seriously. I asked her to read the scripture i had found
earlier that day, and before she got a few words in she was crying. Man, I don't
know how to explain it but the spirit is so cool. Words were put into my mouth
that night. Being a missionary is awesome.
I love my companion. I love
Nauvoo. And I love the scriptures.
Songs of the week:

P.s. SHOUT OUT TO THE WALTER'S
FAMILY FOR SENDING ME A PACKAGE FULL OF CAT STUFF!!!!! AH!
P.p.s I started a quote book! So
far it's full of lyrics I remember, or things I've written. I would love to fill
it up, so if any of you have some favorite quotes I would absolutely love to
hear them. ♥
All of the Sisters in the Nauvoo Mission!!! ♥
