I want to start by apologizing. I type so many words incorrectly and my grammar has been so atrocious wow. Please forgive me, I promise I'm usually the grammar girl.
Anyways! This week was pretty dang fantastic! First off, let me tell you about the wonderful miracle at the ward Halloween party! First of all it was so over the top and fun! There was a ton of decorations and Sister Bishop even convinced me to dress up, while still keeping the missionary dress of course. The first miracle was that 2 potential
investigators came and had a blast! Then Aaron, Morgana, Anthony, and Alana came. However they came at almost 8 so most everything was cleaned up. Then came the miracle : Members and all the little kids started giving them their own candy, they set up the giant Jenga game for them and a mini ring toss game!! They were so grateful, and the whole display nearly brought me to tears of joy. That's what the gospel is about folks! Serving others and loving them is t core of the ministry of Christ, and it was so beautifully displayed!! We are supposed to be God's hands on earth to bless his children, so let's take that to heart! 😊
So we finally got in to teach Aaron and Morgana, and we shared a quick message about pressing through adversity, and we sang "Where Can I Turn For Peace?". They seemed to really appreciate the visit! They felt bad that they were so busy and were not able to meet with us more often and we set up another appointment with us!! Can't wait to see this family keep progressing!
Shane is still working hard toward his baptism date! He committed to live the word of wisdom, while his roommates were right there! He talks about how they tease him a little, but it goes in one ear out the other because he loves the gospel so much! Wow this kid is crazy cool! He came to church this week with Aitanna, the less active member, and all went really well! He was involved in the Sunday school lesson which was all about faith! He is really prepared, but he is also very diligent.
Funny story for the week, while trying to contact a potential, we met a pen older lady named Sweet-a. I think that is the spelling haha. Anyways she proceeded to tell us to go back west and wash away all the demons that are in the west. In her words " they be smiling and saying that they happy but on the inside they are shooting daggers and bad vibes". We tried to share a quick message, but she kept us for about 15 minutes lecturing us about how wrong we were and that all good is bad, but all bad is good, but not really....to be honest none of it made any sense haha. But we left her with our card and offered service! I was just reminded about how Satan is the author of confusion and if I am lost, I can turn to Heavenly Father and seek the truth. It all comes back to the faith I have that what I am teaching is true!
I always find myself back at the principle of faith! I learned a powerful lesson about faith this week and how it affects the work. Faith gives us hope for the future and helps us to find guidance when we are lost. Whenever I feel like I am lost or I want to know how to progress, I can always turn to my simple faith. I know Heavenly Father
and Christ love me, that the Book of Mormon is true, and that all his children deserve a chance to know how much Heavenly Father desires them to return to him. Next step: Action.. I get up in the morning and pray in faith to be strengthened in Christ atonement to do hard things, and I am strengthened! We are promised if we act on a"particle of faith" the lord will grow it. Try it! I dare ya!😊
I am nearing the end of my training and my second transfer. Sister Bishop thinks I will train a new missionary and she will leave, but I think that she will stay! At least I sure hope so!! We have become best friends!!
I love you all and cherish you so dearly as my friends! Thank you for your support! I feel it so strongly! Keep on keeping on!
