Hi everyone!!! I love and miss you all! Well I first just want to say thank you all for your prayers, they really do help me out in the mission field! You are all amazing!
This past week we had interviews with the President and the moment I walked into his office he said "somethings changed about you...what have you done differently or what have you learned?" And I was like at first, I don't know, but then I thought for a second then told him, I think I'm starting to realize that the promise God makes to everyone, I'm included in that. That his promise of when we open our mouth, He WILL fill it and I've seen that in every lesson I've been and and some times when we knock doors and do contacting outside. But I was so happy that he saw a difference in me, for the better. :)
This past week, right after our preparation day, it went way downhill. Three of our investigators dropped us and that night it was raining and we walked to the end of a corner and broke down. We didn't know what we were doing wrong for this to happen. Then Sister Passey was like while yes, we want to sit here, so does Satan, so let's go. And we continued on tracting for the rest of the night. Then the next day, we were able to go to Doctrine of Christ, which is another training for the new missionaries (me. :P) That was exactly what my companion and I needed to hear. It was talking about Missionary Work and the Atonement. It was AMAZING!!! We learned about the the true meaning of HOPE and faith and repentance. :) That was such an answer to our prayers. I think it's amazing and beautiful how God works and when and how he answers our prayers. <3
This week we had a great lesson with one of our investigators named Marsha who also had a hard week and wanted to find Jesus Christ more in the scriptures for one lesson and we told her to continue on with her personal reading and prayer and guess what she read next?! Mosiah 3!!!! That's all about Christ!! It was so amazing! Her prayers were answered! Then we invited her to show her desire to follow Jesus Christ and be baptized on March 18th and she didn't say no (like the many other times the other missionaries have asked) but she said that she would let us know by tonight, because that's when our next appointment with her is. We are so excited to see what her answer is. :)
But that's about it for this past week. It's been very eventful but, it's just separating the wheat from the tares. Where we are really focusing on the people with potential to get baptized this transfer. I hope we can see our fruit from our labors this transfer. :) <3
One quote that my companion read to me from her dad's experience from the MTC from John Sonnenberg from the 70's when he was in there and it says "When you are in the service of the Lord, the obstacles in front of you are not as strong as the power behind you. "
Stay strong, I love you all!!!
Again, thank you so much for all the letters and the email's it makes me feel so special! Please, keep doing what you're doing, you're all amazing and never change. Please, if you can keep sending me mail and pictures, I love to see how you are doing. :)
