HEY EVERYONE!! SO EXCITED TO TALK THIS WEEK!! such a great week! Elder Larson and I killed it! We felt like I'd leave so we worked hard!! I am getting transfers Tuesday to Lilburn zone, I will be in the area Lawrenceville! I'm excited to learn alot from the missionaries there and become a better missionary as well! And I know that there are people that I will meet and teach that I know I was meant to! I'm so stoked to be able to go here!! I will keep this email relatively short for this week!
We did alot of finding and found 4 new people to teach in the area I just left! And we set those appointments for them this upcomingweek!! I was able to connect with some families in our ward and I'm sad we left them! They are really into missionary work!! I'm excited to hopefully come back and see the growth that is happening here! I had the amazing experience to give a talk in church on Sunday! I spoke about Personal Revelation and testified and shared personal experiences about the things I've learned and done to receivethat! ! A talk I would recommend Is President Nelson's talk in April 2018- "Revelation for the Church, Revelation for Our Lives"
Then a talk from Elder Bednar! April 2007, " The Spirit of Revelation! I spoke about multiple things we can do to prepare ourselves and stay worthy and in a place where we can receive the revelation including, scripture study and confernce talks really scuba diving in those!! Then praying having a heart to heart with God I have found the best way is to have questions, have idea for those questions, get paper and pen and write out your impressions!!! I testify that it works! I have done it many times on my mission and I have seen miracles happen and I have received answers I needed! Sometimes it takes time maybe weeks or months but they will come!! I invite you all you to act on the things I've spoken and try it out and then when you receive those impressions or thoughts or direction act on it!! I love the quote, "we cannot survive spiritually without personal revelation" GOD LOVES YOU AND WANTS TO HEAR FROM YOU!!
This week we also met with Bo Schimdt a non member in a part member home and he is a great guy I actually just saw him before I left! He knows the gospel is true and knows the Book of Mormon is true and i know he will find his way to the covenant path!! He said he will come visit me in Lawrenceville, that's where he grew up and where his parents are so I'm excited to see him!
Friends!! This upcoming transfer is gonna be amazing and I have a feeling I will have alot more to share about the things I learn as well as cool experiences teaching the gospel! There are so many amazing things I've learned!! Including a training that one of my favorite missionaries in my district gave! Sister Coleman talked about how we need to know we are successful missionaries and gave us paper to write what we want to become and we put it in a envelope and we sealed it until the end of our mission, when we are on the plane we will open it!! :) I know that I can become the person as I strive to do Heavenly Fathers will!! He loves us! In preach my gospel it has a section called A successful missionary!! I honestly think it applies to everyone, especially us as members of the church, I want to invite yall to check it out it is the first section of PMG "My Purpose" it is one of the last points!
I love yall so much and I'm excited to share more! Sorry this week was short I only had an alotted amount of time but I will definitely share more next week and give myself time to write!! I love you!! Have a fantastic week keep killing it in school, at home, on your missions, you all mean so much to me!! <3
Love Elder Wold #woo-woo
