Howdy ya'll!
I was so excited to read today that my
sister Erica, who has been serving as a missionary in San Antonio for
the last 13 months, finally got her visa and is going to the Brazil
Belem Mission where she was originally called! Wow! I am glad she
gets to go to Brazil, but I'm also really glad she had some time in
Texas. It has been pretty special for me as a missionary in Texas to
have my sister be a missionary here too. I am so thankful for her
wonderful example to me!
This week on Tuesday and Thursday, we
met with L, along with our ward mission leader Brother T. L
previously had experience with some other sister missionaries and
even went to church with them about a year ago, so when we met him
while tracting, he was really receptive! We gave him a Book of Mormon
and when he found out he already had one at home, he tried to give
the second one to one of his friends at work.
All of our lessons with him have gone
so well because he already has a solid foundation on Christ and is so
full of faith! One of our lessons with him, we were sitting outside
at a picnic table and someone came up to us and asked what we were
doing and if he could sit down with us. We gladly said he could join
us. As this other man asked us questions, it was fun to see L
answering some of the questions that even stumped us and defended our
standards.
We were super happy to see him at
church yesterday, he even thanked one of the speakers for their talk
after sacrament meeting and participated in Gospel Principles class.
We had to leave early to get to another ward, but later Brother T
sent us a text telling us that L had asked if he could get baptized
on an upcoming date, and the date he asked for is a week earlier than
the date we were originally going to extend! I am excited to see L
get baptized, and make that first and vital covenant with God!
This week we also had the chance to
have another recent convert lesson with Tyler. We have been meeting
with him and his dad every week since his baptism at different
members' home, and it has been awesome to see them continue to
support each other and stay active in the gospel!
The members in Plano 6 and 8 continue
to take such good care of us! They always make sure we are well fed
and have rides to our meetings. They are some of the kindest people
you could ever meet! I just love them more and more the longer I stay
here! I attached some pictures from when Sister L took us out to
Sushi! Yum!
Have a great week, I love being a
missionary!
Sincerely,
Sister D. Greenall
"And now, my sons, remember,
remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the
Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil
shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind,
yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it
shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery
and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is
a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot
fall." -Helamen 5:12
