Aloha one and all! :)
Well. This week flew by.
M. and A. We missed them. A lot. Glad they're back in town :) They're
doing really well! We've mapped out all the rest of the lessons they
need to take and things and they're ready to do it! I just love them :)
They're loving the Book of Mormon and have lots of questions. The quote of the
week is actually from M. He was like, "that's such a random verse.
Why did they put that in there?" And I was like, "Easy scripture
mastery." Jokes. I didn't say that :) A. came to the General Women's Broadcast on
Saturday! Was that not the best in the world? I think it was great! So
A. is sandwiched between Sister Adorable and me and we kept leaning
over to explain things at the same time, hah. It was funny :) It was a
miracle! We asked her after it was over if she's receiving answers to
her questions and she told us a cool story. The other day she was at
work and a co-worker came up to her and told her that another co-worker
commented on this new glow that A. has about her. "I didn't think
anything of it until that talk about glowing. I've noticed the change
inside of myself, but I didn't realize it's something that other people
can see, too! Is that a sign?" Yes A., it is :) Miracle? yes. I
believe so. :) The Spirit is real. Revelation is real. The Church is
true, my friends! Surely it is :)
Our investigator C. is a
rockstar! I don't even think we've talked about her. And by we I mean I.
Hah. Go mission life. Anyway. She grew up in Arizona and she and her
young family moved out here in May-ish. She was having a harder time
finding friends than she thought, so her LDS friends in Arizona called
up someone in the church and asked if we'd go by to let her know about
the activities in the area. Well. That referral happened before I even
got here. One of my previous companions, Sister Winegar, and I tried to meet her a million times. No luck.
So then Sister Adorable got here and I was like, "heck, why not?" So we
tried again and actually met her! She didn't really grow up with a
religious background, but she knows that Christ is important and she
wants to know how she can apply that in her life so her kids (4, 2 and 6
mos) can have that foundation. This last week she's been practicing
prayer the way that we've taught her and she felt the spirit for the
first time. She was lying in bed, half praying, half sleeping and she
thought, "Are you really there? Do you really love me?" And an
overwhelming warmth came over her whole body that she completely woke up
and she said she almost felt silly for asking those questions, "Of
course he loves me. Of course He's there." We had a really awesome
conversation about listening to the Spirit. She's cool :)
I
love it here. I look around this quiet library of people that I don't even
know and I feel love. What on earth would ever give me such an opportunity
to feel love? The calling of missionary. I am ever so grateful for it
:)
Love y'all! Have a happy conference week! :) Prepare and I know you'll receive the instruction that you're seeking.
