It was an amazing week! Christmas was so good and relaxing!
And then getting to google chat my whole family on Boxing Day was THE
BEST!
Yesterday was probably the most miraculous day of my entire
mission. At the beginning of the transfer, Sister Haretuku and I set goals that
would stretch us this transfer but that we truly believed we could reach with
the Lord's help. Throughout the transfer, we realized we were reaching a lot of
them but falling short in the sacrament meeting and baptized and confirmed
ones. We have been doing everything we can to boost these the past couple
weeks. We knew that none of our 3 investigators on date for baptism would be
able to be baptized this transfer transfer because they have not been to church
three weeks in a row. The only one was our investigator Melody, a former
investigator we recently picked up, who has been really consistent the past
couple weeks. We went into our lesson yesterday, not sure whether or not she
would be ready to accept a baptismal date yet, as she wanted to take things
slower this time. Our member Sister Tan came with us and really helped her to
understand that she doesn't know everything, but she knows enough.
Miraculously, Melody accepted a baptismal date for next Saturday, January 6th,
right before the transfer ends! I know that Heavenly Father really helps us
reach our goals, or get much closer than we could have on our own when we are
following the spirit in setting them, and then doing all that we possibly can
to reach them. He is amazing and so good to all of us!
That was the biggest miracle I wanted to share this week. I
am so grateful that The Lord allows us imperfect missionaries to do His perfect
work, and just make things work out. I am so grateful for the experiences I
have had in Tuggeranong thus far.
Have a happy new year!
Love,
Sister Pace
