WHAT IS UP!!!!! IM SO EXCITED TO SEND AN EMAIL THIS WEEK!! Quarantine stinks but lemme tell you, what a great week of success, growth, and change :) AHHHH HERE WE GO!!
so Tuesday we went and got tested for COVID but you know of course we still don't have our test back so we have to get tested again tomorrow.
Wednesday we met with multiple members in our ward, each and everyone has a different situation and trials going on but they have such strong and powerful testimonies that have completely just strengthened and changed me!!
Thursday is when things started to fall into place, we did Facebook finding which is now like tracking but online haha so we posted multiple things in groups in our areas and commented on things and had SO MANY PEOPLE RESPOND!! we had two people that we started asking questions to and they were super interested and had stories about how they've changed and come closer to Christ! Then we found someone else randomly in our area that met with missionaries a year ago! So we have 3 new people that were gonna teach this week! One of which we talked to on saturday and IT WAS SUCH AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE!! ( I'll mention it after the rest of the week)
Friday was just a ton of finding and we spoke with a man we’re gonna teach this week, just about our church and he sent us a couple pages of questions that weve been going through! I had such a good study on Friday I read come and belong by Elder Uchtdorf! I learned so much about how its ALL Gods power that accomplishes the work here on earth! He spoke of discipleship and how we can come help and come and belong! It is up to us, it starts with our decision we need to
1. Learn of Christ
2. Study His words
3. Hear Him and Follow Him
I INVITE YOU ALL TO START DOING THIS!! as I have focused on letting God prevail and these three things I've grow so much closer to Him and His Spirit!
Saturday, MY FAVORITE DAY!!!!!!My first full LEGIT lesson!!(Supposed to only be 20 min little convo but ended up being an hour)
The lady we found on Facebook was Andrea she is super open minded and willing to learn everything she can! She had an experience with her husband a couple months ago where her husband passed away in the hospital but came back to life, he saw Christ and Ever since her husband being saved she has done everything she can to come closer to christ and know him personally! She was catholic years ago but said she never felt anything, she said when she starting working on coming closer to Christ she felt the Holy Spirit so strongly!! Her story is truly incredible!
We got to hop on a call with her and we got to know her she said she didn't have a lot of time because of work so we were planning on sharing just a scripture of Christ, Alma 7:11-13 speaking of Jesus Christ and His atonement and how he suffered EVERYTHING FOR US!! we asked what that meant to her and she has a strong testimony of Christ and His atonement! She then asked a question about the Bible and Book of Mormon! Elder Payne and I looked at each other and I guess we were thinking the same thing to teach her The Restoration! We asked her question and then continue to teach and answer her questions! I had the AMAZING OPPORTUNITY teaching of Jospeh Smith and The Book of Mormon to Andrea, I memorized the account of Jospeh and I'm so happy I did, because I prepared the Spirit was so powerful! We then got to bear testimony of The Book of Mormon and of Christ.
She was so grateful that we did and she said that she felt the Spirit! We then invited her to read the intro to the BOM and offered to drop one at her door, she raised one up and said I already have one HAHA!! She was so ready!! IM SO GRATEFUL FOR THIS CHANCE I HAD TO TEACH! I know Heavenly Father had prepared both of us! Preparation and Obedience is so important!! I'm excited to teach her again this week and answer the questions for those other two men!
I love you all so much!! This is what I will close with! A quote that has meant so much to me now being a missionary and I know it'll mean a lot to everyone! I want you to ponder this throughout your week this week. Then email me what it meant to you
" We will need to let go of the world, If we want to hang on to Eternity!"
Remember
1. Let God Prevail
2. Learn to Hear His voice
3. Use our energy to help gather Israel
That's how we can hang on to Eternity!
