Not sure how many of you know this, but I'd never gotten a flu shot
before my mission. I had to get one when putting in my papers and then
last week President emailed and said we had to go get them this week. So
after years of seeing the signs for free flu shots and walgreens I
finally went and got one! My companion and I now have matching red curidas, or bandaids.

Also
little adventure of the week, we met with this one family and she gave
us cookies from the store she works at. I was driving so I didn't get to
finish mine before our next appointment, I just kind of still had it in
my hand when we got to the next door and Sister Oldroyd just says,
"Sister Fisher, you can't just show up eating a cookie when you knock on
someone's door!". We both just died laughing. If anyone knows me I have
the biggest sweet tooth though and it wouldn't even phase me that it's
not socially acceptable to just show up with cookies.

A
lot of my week is on my recording. The highlight was definitely
interviews with President Mackay and going to church on Sunday. Everyone
in this branch is so sweet, they all wanted to get to know us, offer to
help us. They are so excited to have sisters here in Selma again.
During interviews we focused on the power of the scriptures. I realized
that I can definitely do a lot better on learning the scriptures in
order to teach from them. There were two experiences this week where we
were talking to someone on the street and they asked a question that I
knew the answer to, but for the life of me I couldn't remember where it
was. We were challenged to find a scripture for every sentence in the
first three lessons in Preach My Gospel ( A book we use as missionaries
for what to teach about). It's quite a task and will take a while, but
I've absolutely loved doing it. Instead of just using scriptures that
everyone always has, I'm finding so many treasures of other scriptures.
The Book of Mormon is true and our testimony of it gets stronger as we
read and study it, I would encourage you all to do so this week!
