It was a great week! The weeks just seem to get faster and
faster! We are seeing miracles though! This week we had zone
training in Oshkosh and interviews with Pres. Cutler. Something we are
focusing on is prayer. In our mission conference awhile back they stressed
the importance of prayer. That this is the Lord's work and sometimes we
are trying to do what only He can do, so we have to rely on His help to do
it. We are praying for not only our investigators but also the other
missionaries in our district's investigators. The hmong elders and
teaching a woman named Nu. Nu was looking for service and asked our bishop, so
he told her she could set up chairs for church on
Sunday.
We met with Holly and Sally this week and they are doing
awesome! They have a lot of questions! Sally couldn't come to
church this week but is planning on it next week. we still have not met
her husband so we don't know what he thinks.
This week is a really big week! We have a lot of
appointments, with Sally, Faith, Jolene, and with a new investigator
Shanquena! It is exciting!
Sister Parker came to church this week! She is a very
strong person. Despite all the trials she has been through, she is a very
good example of pressing forward with faith and serving those around her.
We visited a member in the ward who is Korean, SIster
Herman. Her sister from Korea happened to be visiting her when we were
planning on teaching her the restoration! It was so cool! She
didn't understand much but SIster Herman translated some for her and she read
some of the scriptures for us in Korean. Then she came to church on
Sunday! She will be there for our next lesson
too! She is really sweet! We sat around this heated table on the
floor on these mats.
One cool miracle:
We were about to go talk to Hannah about her friends that she
gave copies of the Book of Mormon too and she wasn't home so we started to go
to a potential investigator across the next street, named Linda. My
companion wanted to drive there even though we were really close so we
did. While we were turning around in the circle down the street, she said
stop! We got out of the car and walked over to a little lady named
Maryland. We told her who we were and she immediately started talking
about religion and how she believes that Christ didn't just come to the people
in Jerusalem but that He visited among other nations as well. We then
started telling her about the Book of Mormon! The spirit definitely led
us to her!
well, hope y'all have a good week! The church is
courageously true!
