It has been a great week!
Long but great!
Some of the highlights
include:
Missionary
Leadership Correlation Meeting on Tuesday.
I got to meet President Leota for the first time. He is our temporary
mission president until we receive a new one in July. He and Sister Leota are
amazing and have so much faith! He set some high goals for our mission to
achieve by July (in the next two and a half transfers), but he has complete
faith that we can achieve them and now so do we! I am excited for Zone
conference this week so that the rest of the missionaries in our zone can get on
board. At MLC we received a training mostly about how working with less active
and part member families, as well as new members, will help us reach this goal.
It was pretty inspiring and Sister Namalo and
I have already seen miracles as we have applied what he said! At MLC
they made me give a “dying testimony”
I
am not sure if I have mentioned Steven before, but he is a 40 year old man with
a burly beard that we met on park and embark day a couple weeks ago. When we
first talked to him, he was sitting on his porch, drinking a beer, while waving
goodbye to his young daughter who was going back to her mother for the week. We
weren’t sure if he was drunk or not, but decided to talk to him anyway. Turns
out he, in just the past couple years, has turned his life around and is
searching for truth. He had been reading the Koran and looking into different
religions. He was interested in hearing what we have to say and apologized,
saying he knows it looks like he drinks all the time, but it’s really only a
once a month thing. We have taught him twice since then, once with one of our
members, Brother Quinton. Steven has so many questions and they are all really
good ones. His question yesterday, while teaching the Plan of Salvation, was
did Jesus Christ have a body like Heavenly Father when He created the Earth
before He was born. They are just questions that a lot of people don’t even
think of but they are great! He really feels that the things we are teaching
him are possible and that they could be his answer. He has been reading and
praying and hopefully will come to church soon.
Pamella,
came to church again yesterday, her 3rd week in a row! She even asked one of
the members for a lift home so she could attend the second two hour again,
because her son had to leave early to go to work. She is building good
relationships with ward members and we found out that her granddaughter is
being baptized on the 30 of March. She has been thinking about doing it with
her, and we hope she decides to! There is no set date for her yet, but
hopefully this week
Those
are just some of the miracles this week. Love you all and you are always in my
prayers! Have a miraculous week!
Love,
Sister
