Hello!
For labor day we went to a family's
house for a BBQ, which was a lot of fun, and then we had an awesome
FHE with a family in our ward. They had a guitar, so I started
playing chords out of the primary book and hymn book and everyone
sang along. My companion, Sister D is an amazing singer and I love to
play guitar, so we are going to start doing musical devotionals in
members homes for their family and friends. A lot of people in Plano,
Texas aren't immediately interested in hearing a message from us, but
many are willing to listen to uplifting christian music. Someone
from our ward already called us today and wants us to come over
tonight and play for their elderly neighbor. That will be a fun way
to meet new people!
After Monday, Sister D was so sick this
week! I felt so bad! We stayed at home a lot this week, so I worked
on contacting those we are working with and setting up appointments,
while Sister D tried to recover. We had a zone conference on
Wednesday, and some other elders had gotten sick as well.
This past Sunday Brother R came to
church to watch Sister D and I sing during Sacrament meeting, so this
Saturday we went with Brother R's family (who is Catholic but his
wife and kids are all active Mormons and an awesome family!!) to
watch him play the drums in his Catholic band R.A.Y.N. (Rest All Ye
Nations). It was at a huge carnival at the St. Jude catholic church
in Allen, TX which is right next to Plano. We got some funny looks
when people noticed we were Mormon missionaries, but everyone was
very nice to us :)
When I was reading this week I found
this scripture in the Book of Mormon:
3 Nephi 29: 6 “Yea, wo unto him that
shall deny the revelations of the Lord, and that shall say the Lord
no longer worketh by revelation, or by prophecy, or by gifts, or by
tongues, or by healings, or by the power of the Holy Ghost!”
I really like it, because God still
works by revelation! Even though people we talk to say that people no
longer can have revelation from God or that we can't let feelings
overpower our knowledge, I know that God still speaks to his children
today.
Have a great week!
Sister Danica Greenall
