Hey Everyone!
I hit my one month mark this week on
July 25! I feel like time is passing so fast, it's kind of scary! I
still really love being a missionary, I have met so many amazing
people and am having so much fun every day. It helps that my
companion Sister S is such an awesome person!
On Wednesday, I met one of our
investigators. One of the members in our ward invited us and her to
their house for dinner. Afterward we had a lesson together on the
Plan of Salvation. She is really excited about the Book of Mormon and
already noticing all of the blessings it is bringing to her life!
On Friday, we went to Mission President
Interviews; it was my first time meeting with the mission president
other than when I first got here. It went really well, President
Taylor is amazing! We also got to listen to a lesson by the zone
leaders and the assistants to the president. After we got home we
went tracting in a neighborhood close to our dinner appointment. The
very first door we knocked on the person had a cross in their front
yard and a scripture from the bible on their door. When the person
answered and found out that we were Mormons he started spouting out
tons of anti-mormon rumors at us and slammed the door... That was a
little disappointing, because he was a Christian but wasn't acting
very Christ like around us. :) On that same street a couple houses
later we met a Muslim woman. She was so nice! She had three cute kids
running around and she talked with us for about thirty minutes. She
really liked that we lived a higher standard and we found that we
shared many of the same values. She invited us to come over another
time so she can share with us what she believes and we can share our
beliefs with her. I love when people are open to discussing religion!
On Sunday, we left on our bikes at
6:30am to get to our weekly ward council meeting. We had only gotten
a couple blocks from our house when we passed and waved by this
elderly woman. She started talking to us, so we stopped to hear what
she was saying. She was really worried and had gotten lost! We got
off our bikes and walked with her until she found her house (which
was really just down the street). She had us come in her house with
her and she kept yelling "Hello?" looking for her family.
One of her grand kids came out and we told them that their grandma
was lost, but was home now. Their parents came out and they thanked
us. Their poor grandma! We were glad we could help grandma find her
way home :) And we got to our ward council meeting only a couple of
minutes late!
"If thou desirest this thing, if
thou wilt bow down before God, yea, if thou wilt repent of all thy
sins, and will bow down before God, and call on his name in faith,
believing that ye shall receive, then shalt thou receive the hope
which thou desirest." -Alma 22:16
Have a great week!
