Hey everybody!
Lunch with the
Sister Training Leader's
I feel like it's been FOREVER since I wrote a real email soooo
Today will be a little catch up of the main things that have
happened in the last few weeks.
A while back I wrote about Leah, and how before she
could be baptized her dad wanted to have proof that Joseph Smith was
a prophet.
Well.....Last week we got a frantic text from her telling us
that we aren't able to come over to her house anymore, and that she is
not allowed to get baptized. We called her and she told us about all
this Anti- information that her dad has been giving her, and how she
still REALLY wants to be baptized. So that was heart breaking, and
then Amanda told us that she doesn't feel ready to be baptized
either......
BUT there were many miracles that happened too :) one day some
Elders in a different area were talking about a women that called them
for service and as they were talking we realized that she lived in our
area, so we went over and helped Fran clean and organize her
house. After that we had a first lesson with her, when we started we she
said that she has felt lost for a very long time...and a few minutes
into the lesson she said that she felt home, So at the end of it we
put her on date for baptism on November 14th!!
This past week I have gained such a strong testimony of the
power of the Book of Mormon, it is one of the things that we talk about
all the time on and off the mission, but the past few weeks we've had
to testify and defend the Book of Mormon over and over again. So I would
quote the promise from Moroni and promise that if they study from it daily they
can receive revelation. Then I had to ask myself "do I even do that?"
So this past week I have tried to make every single verse in the
scriptures mean something to me, so I can testify with even more convection
that this book can change lives.
This coming week I challenge you all to put more effort into
your daily reading. That book is what sets us apart, and the fullness of the
gospel.
(Okay FUNNY story)
Sooo lately we've had many men try to hit on us haha and I
don't think it has anything to do with me...but when you see two
girls walking down the street I guess we're easy targets. Haha so
we've become masters at turning it into a gospel related situation. A
few weeks back this car of guys drove passed us then they
turned around an pulled next to us, they yelled " hey my homie
thinks you're cute" then they said can we get your number...so I
answered with " only if you want to know more about the gospel" they
replied with whatever works.
Then two days ago this guy flagged us down then he realized
we were "Church Girls" so we ended up getting his number and
inviting him to church hahaha so funny.
