Crazy week!! Here's what happened..
-We had more chinese food! and met more of Li-Li's friends. They are so cute
-We decided to stop by Kendall's house and we got to meet her husband and see her other daughter again! They are super nice! We left a book of mormon and are hoping to be able to teach them. We will see how that goes.
-I was in a tri-pan two days this week! On wednesday a sister that was headed home spent the evening with sister gatten and I. That was super neat. I learned so much from her!! Her name was sister davis and she is from west jordan!
-Then Sister gatten left bright and early thursday morning so I spent the day with the STL's.. Sister Gatten and Sister Stokes. That was fun! it was weird not to have an actual companion. I just got bounced around while waiting for my new companion to come!
-My new companion's name is Sister Jackson! She is from Layton, Utah! She is super sweet. I will send a couple pics!
-We saw so many miracles this past weekend!! We met a lady from Sri Lanka a few weeks ago. We were actually introduced to her by the guy who got baptized last week! We taught her and two of her kids a lesson this week. The lesson was a bit rough. We were teaching about the priesthood and baptism and she got a little defensive when she said she needed to get baptized again. I think Sister Jackson was a little nervous haha. But as the lesson went further her heart was softened by the spirit and she was more open to the idea of baptism and meeting with us. That was a very cool miracle.
-Sunday morning at about 11:30 we were just about to eat lunch when we received a text from mormon.org missionaries saying someone was going to call us for a ride to church. Sure enough, 30 seconds later we received a call from a young lady. She said that her dad used to be a member and she wanted to get involved. So we frantically called a few members and were able to find her a ride to church! She came and had such a great experience. I think she was a bit overwhelmed going to 3 hours of church and knowing nothing about it but she definitely felt the spirit. I know that she needed to be there. She told us that her dad recently passed away at 50 years old in a car accident and that she has just been looking for something more in her life. She is golden!! We are hoping to be able to meet with her this week! Such a neat experience and a testimony builder that God is preparing people to hear the gospel!
I love being a missionary SOOO much!! I am so grateful for this opportunity that I have to serve the Lord. I know the church is TRUE!! I just wanted to share a scripture that I read this week in my studies. It is so powerful and so true if we apply it to ourselves!
2 Nephi 22:2 "Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid; for the Lord JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also has become my salvation."
- I hope you will all watch general conference this weekend and look for what the Lord is trying to tell you! Go in with a question or something you want to learn and I know that He will answer!! Love you all!!!! Have an amazing week!
