Hey everyone! How's it going?
Great I hope. This last week was wonderful. It was so wonderful to finally have
a Sacrament meeting where we could partake of the Sacrament. I sure have missed
that and could tell even in the classes right afterwards that the Spirit was
with me stronger than previously. Good stuff.
So, the M*'s as
usual are doing wonderful. They just keep progressing and progressing. Ganga
made it sound like she is considering joining and she even downloaded the
Gospel Library app on her phone and has been listening to the Book of Mormon! I
haven't had a single English speaking investigator do that but of course the
one family that doesn't even understand half of what we are saying does it,
they are so great. Jit, Ganga, Krish, and Monita all came to Sacrament meeting
on Sunday. We drove them to the church building, not in our car because that's
disobedient, but we drove in front of them so they could see how to get there.
It felt so great walking into the chapel with a family behind us, the Lord
truly is full of grace and mercy. We have been meeting with them pretty
frequently and continue to get more and more ideas on how to teach them better
and differently according to their needs. They are a wonderful blessing from
God and I thank Him for them everyday.
We taught Vince
M* if anyone remembers him from a while ago. He has questions about the
afterlife so we started teaching him the Plan of Salvation and got up to "why
am I here?" He'll really enjoy the next lesson because all of his question
pretty much pertain to what we know as the spirit world. We are teaching him
tomorrow and have a Priest lined up to come with us to that. We went to Priest
Quorum to talk about him and turns out most of the Priest know him, so that's
really good.
Stephanie had a
pretty bad week with kids sicknesses and stuff so we gave her some scriptures
to read and pray about, she hasn't done it yet but she will soon. We are
meeting with her in a couple of days and hopefully we can help her gain a testimony,
because that's all she needs at the moment.
We had a Fall
Festival on Saturday and man it was so good. So many friends who are not of our
faith were there. One lady that is in charge of the volunteers at Salvation
Army came. She knows a family in our Ward and we made sure she got invited by
them and us to come. Her daughters loved it and she seemed to have fun as well.
Can I just say how wonderful it is when members bring friends to things?
Nothing feels better than walking into a room and seeing 20 people you don't
know. It is one of the best feelings as a Missionary. If you want to make
Missionaries (including me) happy, bring/invite people to things, and if they
don't come let the Missionaries know you at least invited, that makes us just
as happy. Feeding them is nice, going out with them is great, but showing them
that you are doing the work....nothing compares. I am definitely going to be a
Missionary for my entire life. That's the only real goal I have right now, and
I'm sticking to it.
Well, I hope you have
a great week full of miracles. Keep trying to be your best and God will take
you the rest of the way. I love you all!
