Well,
today is my sister Jessica's birthday if you didn't know, so go wish her a
happy birthday!
I
am so sad to hear about the shooting, but so relieved to hear that my family
was not involved. I was a little nervous
when one of our investigators, cutting our hair this morning, told us how bad
it was. That is shocking, especially
about the boy in the stake. I feel like I might recognize him, but I can't put
a face to the name right now. His family and everyone is in my prayers.
I
hope everyone enjoyed conference! The General Women's Session was great, so I'm
so excited for the rest next weekend. I went to the women's session with the
question of "how can I keep my
testimony strong and immovable when it is being attacked every day by people
around me who seem well educated or well meaning?" I wasn't getting an
answer until the very end of President Uchtdorf's talk where he talked about
hanging on to the iron rod (the Book of Mormon) even when you have already
partaken of the love of God, but the voices from the great and spacious
building begin to sway you. It was the answer I already knew, but hearing it
come from a prophet of God strengthened my testimony that these men really are
called of God and that God knows me and has answers specifically for me. So
cool! GO watch his talk if you haven't!
This
week we have been visiting our investigator Simone every day to share lessons
with her or just read the BOM with her while she is working to quit smoking.
Unfortunately, she keeps facing different trials and sicknesses that are making
her progression slow, probably because Satan doesn't want to her to make this
wonderful step in her life of being baptized . She is progressing though, she
has gotten down to one smoke a day, and I think she will be able to quit
completely in no time! We are just going to keep loving her and praying for
her.
We
were a little sad to see that none of our investigators made it to church on
Sunday, but there were still miracles because a couple in our ward, who is
semi-active, but never comes to anything besides sacrament meeting, came to
gospel doctrine class after we had a lesson with them this week and invited
them to! That was a tender mercy.
Besides
that, we are going to work harder to find new investigators this week, because
we have not had many lately.
Sister
Monilla feels back to normal this week which is also a huge blessing. Thanks for your prayers! She says she loves
you guys!
Well,
I'm out of time, but I'm glad everyone is safe and hope everyone is well! I am always praying for you guys!
Love,
Sister
