What a week. A week of reflection and pondering.
Our
investigators J and M came to church yesterday!! :) They fit in so
well. Like... sooo well. The ward is so supportive of people visiting
and it has been amazing to see! :) The topics were perfect! That can be a
scary thing sometimes, wondering what the talks are going to be on. But
this week was awesome. I think he really enjoyed seeing members of all
ages talk in sacrament meeting.
Our other investigator G. is a rockstar, too. We had
another lesson with him and he's so great :) The members are doing a
great job of helping him feel welcome. We still haven't met his wife
yet, she thinks we're weird, haha. Or so he says. So we're in the
process of scheduling something with members so she can meet them and
realize that we're all normal people who believe in the same Jesus
Christ :)
Zone Conference week!! I love zone conf. Love it!!
We learned about the movie coming out in October, 'Meet the Mormons'
Aaaand... we can go!! Haha. We're telling all the people we can about it
:) It'll be great!
President also mentioned iPads. He said that
according to Salt Lake, our mission is dead.last. on the list to have
them. Why? Because we don't need them! Lots of missions have had to
practically give up on tracting (knocking door to door) or do it simply
to fill time. But our investigators still come from tracting! Which I
think is flattering :) I love tracting and I'm so grateful that we still
get to do it! :) So as far as technology is concerned, it ain't happnin
in my time as a Sister. And I'm grateful :) The Lord knows my heart :)
I learned a lot about being bold this week. And it's
something I know I need to do. So that's my focus! Being bold used to
scare me. But then I realized that I can be bold with love. And this
last week I had another epiphany! It's not even about being bold with
love.... it's about being bold beCAUSE of love! And if you know me, you
know that I'm all about love :) Haha. Christlike love, that is :) One
of my favorite quotes from this week was, "We don't have time to be weak
in our contacting" and it's true. We don't have time to be anything but
our best. That doesn't mean we need to run around like chickens with
our heads cut off... but it does mean that consistent, steady work is
what the Lord expects of us. No matter what our calling is.
I'm grateful for member missionaries. I'm grateful
for full time missionaries. And I love the Work. It is a great work! It
is His work, and miracles are brought through His power, but wrought by
the faith of the individual (Ether 12:13-16 and Hebrews 11).
Love y'all! Have a happy week :)
