This
week has been incredible! And it all started right after I emailed you all. I
was sitting next to this lady and she asked for some help on her computer. I
helped her and then we started chatting. She asked me about my badge and all
the other missionaries there emailing. We started talking about the Gospel. We
had an amazing conversation. She has been searching for the truth and for a way
to know God more. She agreed to let us come over during the week and we gave
her a copy of the Book of Mormon! She was eating it up.
Then
we went over and she had read the BOM from the beginning until the Isaiah
chapters, then she got confused so she skipped ahead because she said she
couldn't put it down. She was reading for at least an hour per day. We had an
amazing lesson and committed her to baptism. She said yes! It's scheduled for
the first of March because she said she wouldn't be able to come to church for
two weeks because she had other plans but by the time we left she asked if we
could pray with her for her friend to be ok with coming to church with her
because she knew she needed to come! It was AWESOME! She and her friend came to
church and loved it! Sam is incredible. She was so outgoing at church services
and was taking notes and commenting all through the meetings. The ward loved
her and they are all anxious to fellowship her! It was such a blessing to be a
part of.
Another
great thing happened when some sisters in our zone told us they were struggling
to feel motivated so when their district had a blitz on Monday we went down for
it. We went on splits with the sisters for the blitz and one of the sisters and
I found 3 new investigators in 45 minutes. It was honestly one of the best
tracting experiences I have had on my mission. It was so cool. I had been
praying all day that we would have a successful and motivating blitz and God
was very generous. The sister I was with is amazing. She, just like all of us,
just needed a little motivating and you couldn't stop her by the end. She was
practically running to every house! That's the part of being a sister training
leader that's really fun, being there to help your sisters and then watching
them flourish! I love it!
We
also had zone conference this week and it was AWESOME!!! It was all a focus on
getting members to lessons. It motivated us to do even better. We are getting
members to all of our set appointments and it has been awesome to see the
members get involved more fully. This ward is amazing. I don't know how I
always get blessed with the best wards. God is so good to me.
Sister
E and I also sang in zone conference. We sang an arrangement of “I'll Go Where
You Want Me To Go” and we were very blessed. We only had a few days to practice
so we probably went over it only about 6 times before the performance and it
went really well. God helped us to be able to sing beyond our own abilities and
to bring the Spirit. I love music.
And
today we get to go to the temple! I cannot wait. I love it so much! I know it
will be good and very peaceful to go once again, especially as a zone. It will
be such a good opportunity.
I love
you all. I am so so happy. This transfer is already speeding by much too
quickly. I kind of hate that.... Sister E and I have such a good time together
and we do a lot of good missionary work together. It's been a dream transfer
thus far and we're nearly halfway through! Craziness. It really does feel like
I'm dreaming because I am being so blessed. Truly, "life could be a
dream." Thank you for your love, support and prayers. I can feel them. It
can be almost tangible sometimes.
I love
you.
